Nowadays, it seems like just about every show “has to be lit ready for broadcast, I-Mag, and or social media at any time,” says Felix Peralta. The noted designer and programmer knows whereof he speaks, having worked with many big stars with astronomical followings on Instagram, Facebook, and every other platform. This summer Peralta had the opportunity to create an array of stunning video/photo-worthy visuals with his lighting, the kinds that look like the stuff of beautiful dreams and remain in memories forever, when he lit Café Tacvba with Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Philharmonic in concert at the Hollywood Bowl.Read More »Felix Peralta Sets Stage for Café Tacvba at Hollywood Bowl with CHAUVET Professional Fixtures

“If you put out quality music, you’re always going to be in a good place.” Romeo Santos told an interviewer. This summer, the Bronx-born “King of Bachata” was indeed in a very good place musically, and the sold-out crowd at O2 Arena couldn’t have been happier, as he transformed the iconic venue into a vibrant Latin music club with his stellar performance. The show was the only London stop in Santos’ Vol. 3 World Tour. Adding to the dynamic vibe that resonated throughout the arena was a collection of 84 CHAUVET Professional fixtures.Read More »Bigabox Productions Reflects Romeo Santos Magic at O2 with CHAUVET Professional and DMX Productions
Experienced Lighting Designer Anthony Hazelden has made the journey from classic theatre to high-octane dance raves effortlessly, his generic stage lighting of yesteryear now replaced by next generation hybrid LED strobes, including GLP’s new JDC Line 1000. For a recent EDM concert within Cardiff Castle he not only provided a cutting-edge floor package for headliner Fisher, for whom he was LD, but the generic house rig for the support acts. This included Luther star Idris Elba and Arielle Free. Hazelden had known most of these artists from working with them on other projects around the world and had known the production manager for the Cardiff Castle show, James Dutton, from High Scream Productions in Ibiza.Read More »GLP JDC Lines Bring Fisher’s Cardiff Castle EDM Extravaganza to Life

“We are all voyeurs to some extent when we see an intimate film,” said director Martin Scorsese. The stage production Le Mime et l’Etoile at Puy du Fou in Les Epesses, France, takes matters to another level, as the audience is not only drawn into an intimate story, but also gets to view it through the lens of a film being made in the earliest days of cinema.Read More »Maxime Chotard Lights Historical Journey in ‘Le Mime et l’Étoile’ with CHAUVET Professional

Sometimes, less is indeed more. Tyler Veneziano has no problem with that theory. The talented designer is a huge fan of the CHAUVET Professional Rogue R1 FX-B with its five individually controlled RGBW moving heads. He particularly likes the fixture’s infinite pan and tilt. But when lighting multi-platinum rockers Breaking Benjamin on their North American tour earlier this summer, Veneziano stopped himself from using this feature at points during the band’s 90-minute, 17-song set. “I love the infinite pan and tilt, but I didn’t want to over-use it and become predictable,” he explained. “My plan was to save theses looks for key moments to maximize their impact.”Read More »Tyler Veneziano Mixes Subtlety and Color for Breaking Benjamin with CHAUVET Professional
