UK - The long running BBC children's TV show Blue Peter is in its 52nd year this year and continues to go from strength to strength. Richard Martin Lighting continues to support Lighting Designer Lee Allen in bringing a fresh and energetic look to the ever more contemporary show. This week Disney Channel diva Selena Gomez and her band The Scene perform her latest single Round and Round in the Blue Peter garden.

RML's recently purchased Global Design Solution (GDS) Liteware HO-Uplighters were the focal of the music number - 24 of them positioned around the trees, stage and tree house.

"The Uplighters were used to up light bits of the garden and facing towards the cameras for some eye candy for the music number," says Allen. "As always the close up of the guest had nothing behind them but that wasn't a problem I just picked up the lamp repositioned it, no mess, no hassle just light where it was needed."

In additional Allen utilised Pulsar 900mm Chroma Strips, Chroma Floods and Pixel Par 90's.
