COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Greenpeace launched a highly visible and eye-catching campaign at the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s gathering in Copenhagen, Denmark using SGM’s G-Spot LED moving head to project onto four wind turbines. Greenpeace’s project leader Esben Sloth explains: “We wanted the light projection to be very accurate, with sharp lines and figures, in order to make the wind turbines look like a graph.”

LONDON – Embracing the “less is more” approach, LD Mark Wynn-Edwards is lighting electronic duo Lamb with just 11 Robe Pointes. His lighting inspiration came from the stark monochromicity and ‘reality’ of black & white cinema, and much of the set is lit in white. “This show is really all about lighting the ‘negative’ spaces on the stage,” he says.

DUBLIN — For Imelda May’s six-week trek to a variety of venues in the U.K. and Europe, LD James O’Neill turned to a lighting rig supplied by Northolt, U.K.-based Entec Sound & Light that included Robe LEDBeam 100s, LEDWash 600s, Showtec Sunstrips 2-Lite Moles and a single Vari*Lite VL3000 Spot fixture at FOH. O’Neill used Avolites’ Tiger Touch II console with a wing to control the rig, which also included Martin MAC 700 Profile moving lights for some shows. Entec also sourced a shimmering silver / gold drape which was used in the larger venues.

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia — Slovenian singer Magnifico performed with the Serbian Army Orchestra for a sold-out show at the Križanke venue in Ljubljana. The show was part of the annual Druga Godba Festival which features numerous local and international artists, many who are paired up for unique and interesting onstage collaborations – like this one. The lighting rig, which needed to illuminate more than 40 people on stage, include 20 Robe Pointes, 12 LEDWash 600s and eight ColorWash 575 XTs.

VIENNA, Austria – Die Große Chance (A Great Opportunity) is one of Austria’s leading talent competitions. The 2014 final, staged in Studio 1 at national broadcaster ORF’s HQ in Vienna, was lit by lighting director Thomas Kruder who used nearly 300 Robe moving lights, including eight of Robe’s new Bright Multi-Functional Luminaires (BMFLs). The rig also included 133 Pointes and 146 LEDBeam 100s. Vienna-based rental company Supporting Role supplied the fixtures.

DUBAI, UAE – For a one-off, open-air rendition of Gary Barlow’s recent Since I Saw You Last touring show in Dubai, LD Tim Routledge specified an array of Clay Paky fixtures, including one of the latest additions to Clay Paky’s product line the SuperSharpy, from leading supplier Eclipse Staging Services. Routledge specified 55 x Clay Paky Sharpys, 12 x Sharpy Wash 330s, 36 x A.leda B-EYE K20s, 10 x A.leda B-EYE K10s, 15 x Clay Paky Alpha Profile 1500s and 20 x SuperSharpys to deliver ultimate versatility and impact to the diverse production by Louder Entertainment.
