LOS ANGELES – Gold was everywhere at the 84th Academy Awards ceremony last month in Hollywood: Gold glitzed from the red carpet, gold Oscars were handed out to lucky winners and gold Sharpy lighting fixtures from Clay Paky helped illuminate the telecast for millions of viewers around the world.
Lighting designer Bob Dickinson specified 12 Clay Paky Sharpys to add pop to the show. The lights were supplied in a newly available gold housing, which blended seamlessly with the décor and set design of the auditorium. Dickinson is known as the go-to lighting designer for major international events, including previous Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Awards shows, the opening and closing ceremonies at the Vancouver Winter Olympics and events at Expo 2010 Shanghai China.
VER supplied the complement of gold Sharpys for the ceremony. A.C.T Lighting President/CEO Bob Gordon commented, “Having Bob Dickinson specify these fixtures is an honor. He is such a consummate professional that his choice of the Sharpy says so much about the fixture. Susan Tesh at VER was integral in this process and we certainly owe her our gratitude.”
Francesco Romagnoli, Clay Paky Area Manager for North and Latin America, adds, “We’re thrilled to see our new gold Sharpys at such high profile event. They really helped make the awards ceremony shine.”
