TES Productions Lights Dalai Lama’s Visit to the University of Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE, AR — Not everyone gets the opportunity to light a world spiritual figure. Aaron Brown, Lighting Designer/Director at TES Productions in Tulsa, OK, recently had that rare honor — lighting two lectures at the University of Arkansas by the Tibetan Buddhist leader Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama. Revered by many worldwide and referred to by his followers as “His Holiness,” the Dalai Lama is no conventional “talent,” and this was no ordinary lecture hall — but the University of Arkansas’ Bud Walton Arena – a basketball arena.

MIAMI – Carlos Colina, LD for Premios Juventud 2011, relied on a rig from Atomic Lighting that included Vari*Lite VL3000 Spot, VL3500 Spot, VL3500 Wash FX  and VL1000TS luminaires. He chose the fixtures for their ability to overcome challenges posed by the set and the nature of the production.

SAN JOSE, CA — John Lanto of Volume Productions worked with the leadership of East Valley Pentecostal Church to provide lighting for its 1,300-seat sanctuary. To light the altar and provide effect lighting in the background, Lanto used 14 of Chauvet’s Legend 300E Spot moving heads.
