Their work is then critiqued by professional designers. The program is moving from Chauvet’s Burbank showroom to the Montalbán Theatre, and this year, the students will be asked to light songs from the movies using PVP X3 LED video panels, Next NXT-1 moving LED panels, Nexus 4×4 panels and other Chauvet components. The showcase is set for Saturday, April 16.
