CCG provided more than 1300 mixed fixtures from its extensive inventory of CCG, for the Four Seasons Hotel screening venue and the opening night after-party held at the Pearl Qatar. At the fore of this massive lighting effort, once again designed and specified by Adam Bassett Design Limited, were 88 Clay Paky Alpha units at Four Seasons and another 105 Clay Paky Alpha units at the Pearl.
CCG's head of lighting Michel Khairallah noted, "The bulk of the moving heads this year were the larger units from the 1200W series of the Alpha line, with the notable addition of the Alpha Beam 1500 and Alpha Wash 1500 moving heads, and some Alpha Spot 700 and Alpha Wash 700 moving heads for supporting details."
The new 1500 series of high power moving heads were used in Qatar for the first time at the festival. "The 1500 wash was crucial for colour washing of the Four Seasons façade, and the beam and spot units provided gobo projection for the VIP screening area at the beachfront of the hotel," said Khairallah. "The 1500 beam was also utilised for the opening night after party at the Pearl together with over one hundred assorted Clay Paky units. The results were nothing short of stunning. The 1500 line truly sets a new benchmark, and we're proud to have it as the pinnacle of our offering of automated moving lights."
