Michael Meacham Helps ELE Tokyo Stand Out In A “Bright Crowd”

TOKYO – Tokyo is busy – ok make that frantic- by day, but it’s when the sun goes down that this city takes on a level of intensity unique in the world. New York may be the city that never sleeps, but Tokyo never even slows down. “Time moves in its own special way” at night in the Japanese capital, as novelist Haruki Murakami wrote, aided no doubt by thousands of jam-packed clubs. Standing out in this neon sea of nightlife is a tall order for any new establishment; yet ELE Tokyo met this challenge with flying colors, not to mention split beams, intense strobes and a plethora of pixel mapped effects from Chauvet Professional used in a stunning fashion by LD Michael Meacham of iDesign Productions (Miami, FL).

CHAGUANAS, Trinidad — For the revamped 800-capacity Club India here, Michael Pereira of Trinidad & Tobago based creative design and engineering practice Streamline Systems specified Robe and Anolis lighting fixtures. The club is now equipped with 10 Robin LEDBeam 100 moving lights, two Robe Faze 800 FT Pro hazers and 88 Anolis ArcSource 4MC LED fixtures.

LONDON — Colour Sound Experiment, based here, supplied lighting to Festival Republic for several stages at the 2014 Reading and Leeds festivals — Lock Up, Dance, BBC Introducing, Silent Disco 1 & 2, Piccadilly Party, the Action Aid and Oxfam tents plus all of EBCs Bars — plus LED screen for the Dance arena.

AARHUS, Denmark — Issuing an Ice Bucket Challenge to its competitors, SGM CEO, Peter Johansen, touted the company’s G-Spot fixture’s IP65 rating by dousing the moving light with a bucket of cold water. Unlike the CEO, who also underwent a “soak test,” the working fixture appeared to be unfazed by the stunt, which had the side benefit of promoting ALS awareness and support.
