Robert Juliat Victor Followspots Light Up Hedwig and the Angry Inch

NEW YORK – The unconventional rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch is lighting up Broadway, and its lighting designer, Kevin Adams, is using Robert Juliat Victor 1800W MSR followspots to light up the stage. “They are a dream come true – super bright with a really even field of light,” Adams reports.  “The Victors are very white, so whatever color we put in it looks great.  We never have to balance them.  And they’re also really quiet.”

LOS ANGELES – The Clay Paky Sharpy was lighting designer Guy Pavelo’s first choice for his hi-tech rig on hip-hop star Drake’s latest world tour. His design featured a diamond-shaped rig peppered with Clay Paky Sharpys. For this, Pavelo designed a complicated layered system of truss that exploded out from a central diamond. A considerable number of Sharpys are rigged across the master and diamond trusses with more rigged on a central ‘donut ring’ to deliver some perspective bending lighting looks.

SACRAMENTO, CA  — For Jesus Culture’s Unstoppable Love, a live album and DVD, LD Robby Kurtz deployed 32 of Martin’s MAC Viper Profile moving head luminaires and 26 Martin Atomic 3000 Strobe fixtures to create a complicated design that ensured each song had its own look. Kurtz also used Martin’s M6 lighting console to control the entire design and used the recently introduced MSD 6 for pre-programming. “The Show Designer software is a great tool for programming offline,” said Kurtz. “I spent a couple of days building the foundation of the show at home, which saved a ton of time on-site.”
