Cyc FX8s Are A Model Fixture on Germany’s Next Top Model

Getting the right mix of lighting for both TV and live elements was crucial for the final of Germany’s 2014 Next Top Model so LD Manuel Da Costa turned to Robe’s ROBIN CycFX 8 fixtures. He used 44 x CycFX 8s in total, mostly rigged to the side stage wings and used to wash parts of the catwalk as general illumination and also to create some bold and distinctive effects.

For One Direction’s latest stadium tour, Brilliant Stages delivered a series of staging elements designed around a central theme of a skatepark. The 3-dimensional diamond-shaped ‘skate park’ features multiple performer levels that spread across the 54m wide x 21m deep main stage. The set incorporates pairs of ego- and band-risers, perimeter ramps and screamers arranged either side of a steep central slope, which rakes upstage at a 19° angle to a height of 4.5m, and is fronted by a 34m long skate thrust to the B-stage.

PERTH, Australia – LD Flynn Talbot utilised the intense colour of three Philips Selecon PLprofile1 LED luminaires to add another dimension to his latest stunning light installation ‘Primary’. “It was integral for this project that the triangles to appear to glow,” says Talbot. “This meant I needed a luminaire with the ability to shape the beam to precisely the edge of each triangle as any spill light would detract from the effect. The PLprofile1 luminaires delivered a perfectly defined beam, even at their widest beam angle of 44º, which was ideal for lighting the large structure from a relatively short throw distance.”

DUBAI, UAE – LD Debbi Fowler used an arsenal of Clay Paky lighting fixtures to illuminate Lionel Richie’s performance at the open-air Media City Amphitheatre here. Dubai based Eclipse provided the Clay Paky fixtures, which included Alpha Spot HPE 1500, Alpha Profile 1500, Sharpy and Sharpy Wash 330 fixtures.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — For a production of Priscilla Queen of the Desert at Lola Membrives de Calle Corrientes’ Theatre here,  the lighting system included more than 50 D.T.S. moving lights. The setup included 36 XR3000 SPOT CMY fixtures and 16 x XR1200 WASH hung on five horizontal trusses and set at both sides of the stage.
