SAO PAULO, Brazil – Brazil’s new music star, Luan Santana, performed July 7 for a DVD shoot at Fazenda Maeda in Itu, near São Paulo. Spectrum Design e Iluminação provided lighting, which included 36 Clay Paky Alpha Spot HPE 1500s, 60 Clay Paky Sharpys and other lights.
More details from Clay Paky (www.claypaky.it):
The artistic director for the DVD Joana Mazzucchelli dealt with every detail of the stage together with set designer Ludimila Machado, and LD/director of photography Marcos Olivio. The design was optimized both for the audience at Fazenda Maeda and for the making of the DVD.
The skeleton of the stage consisted of three large shaped LED walls, which projected visual effects. Sixty Sharpys were installed around their edges, which cut through the skies of São Paulo with their beams of light.
The combination of these two types of lighting characterized the event design, giving rise to intertwined color effects that enhanced the TV cameras’ wide-angle shots.
Alongside the LED walls were large three-story parallelepiped truss blocks, which housed the Alpha Spot HPE 1500s for the sidelighting and illuminating the large audience.
Lighting Bits owner Daniel Ridano, exclusive importer/distributor of Clay Paky and MA Lighting products in Brazil, said, “This is a very important job both for us and for Spectrum Design. Luan Santana is one of the most popular stars in Brazil today. The project is highly ambitious. The set was rigged in true super-concert style, and we are sure that the resulting DVD will be exciting, too!”
Francesco Romagnoli, Clay Paky manager for North and Latin America, said, “We are proud to have contributed to enhancing such an interesting project with our lights. Thanks to our distributor Lighting Bits, we are growing in Brazil. Lighting designers demand our products because they know they can count on a company that has been working successfully at the highest levels of professional show lighting for nearly 40 years.”
