J&S Audio Visual Puts Elation Proteus Fixtures’ IP65 Rating to the Test

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico — J&S Audio Visual took delivery of 12 new Elation Professional Proteus Hybrid fixtures in December and immediately put the IP65-rated moving heads to work on an outdoor show. As it turned out, the gig — a private concert staged in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on Dec. 14 — was hit by a torrential downpour. LD Edgar Negron noted that the rain fell before, during and after the event. If a lesser fixture might have been doused, Negron was able to use them for ambience lighting and effects onto a Magic Sky umbrella for the event, which featured a performance by Ne-Yo.

ARRI Media and TRIXTER have agreed on a strategic and operational collaboration in the fields of VFX and animation. In the future and across locations, both postproduction companies will be offering all their visual effects and animation services together.
