Chauvet enhances Pac-Man-themed event
- Details
To create a classic video arcade atmosphere in the reception area and accentuate the digital Pac-Man images that decorated it, the event organizers draped the walls in black. This created a stunning effect, but it also made it challenging to colorize the room’s dining tables. Eric Hertsch of John Farr Lighting Design successfully met this challenge with the help of Chauvet Professional Ovation E-910FC ellipsoidal fixtures.
Hertsch positioned eight of the RGBA-Lime colour-mixing fixtures on 12’ truss towers located throughout the room and used them to wash its long rectangular tables in warm appealing colours. In addition to engendering an inviting atmosphere, the saturated light from the Ovation fixtures created a balanced look against the room’s dark walls.
“The colours made the tables stand out aesthetically as part of the décor,” said Hertsch. “We selected the Ovations specifically for the colour-changing capability of their RGBA-Lime colour-mixing engine. We also like their tight zoom, since it allowed us to frame the tables in colourful light without spilling over. We were able to preserve the dark video atmosphere while still lending a festive touch to the tables. Another thing we liked about these fixtures was their low power requirements.”
