Elation Lighting in Action at Phoenix Comicon

PHOENIX, AZ – Event production company Endless Entertainment used a bevy of Elation equipment to light Phoenix Comicon, a comic book convention. The general session room included a 50’ x 24’ stage and a rigged truss structure with an array of spots, beams, Pars, lekos with custom gobos, and more. “Here we used Elation Opti Tri Pars to up- and downlight a backdrop of off-white, two-foot wide square tiles that produced the Pow! that made it undeniably our stage look,” said Will Curran.

For Rebelution’s Count Me In Tour, LD Kenny Gribbon used Chauvet Legend 412 fixtures to tie together the lighting and backdrop. “The design of the backdrop and stage and lights was a collaborative effort with all crew and band’s ideas coming together,” said Gribbon. “As far our vision for the design went, we considered color mixing one of the most important aspects of the show.  We wanted colors to draw you in just like the music does. I was really impressed with the color mixing of the Legends.  Another feature that really stood out about the Legends for me was the quickness of the pan/tilt.”

KNEBWORTH, UK – Seeking to create a spectacular end to the Sonisphere festival’s opening day, LD Andy Hurst reworked an earlier design for The Prodigy. “The design concept was based on an air hanger for a Harrier Jump Jet,” explains Hurst. “We took the idea from their 2013 New Year’s Eve show at the O2. It was a favorite for the band, so they asked me to adapt it to our festival run this summer.” The revised design rigged the 84 SL NITRO 510 and 72 510C strobes in mixed groups of 10. His design saw them blast white and colored light over the audience, generating an electric rave atmosphere.

LAS VEGAS – As part of a recent upgrade, the showroom at the South Point Casino here installed Elation EPAR QA and Opti QA color-changing LED PAR lights along with Elation Flex LED Tape. Blue Planet Lighting’s Las Vegas division handled the installation.
