Their new, 55-minute show features a Michael Jackson impersonator who has the signatures dance moves down and lip-synchs to original songs including Smooth Criminal, Thriller and Remember the Time.
In order to promote the show nationwide, a four-minute music video was created and featured 18 COLORado 1 Tour wash lights, an Arena Hazer 2 haze machine, and two Q-SPOT 260 LED and six Legend 6500 moving heads. ShowXpress controlled all of the fixtures during the video shoot.
Paul Kocel, owner of Summit Group Event Services, comments, "The entire 55-minute show, which took over 83 hours to programme and contained 4,000 steps, ran in complete sync using AIFF music files inside ShowXpress. What's cool is we know this programme was never intended to do this, but it's filling a gap in pro production that no one else has been able to fill yet and it's working flawlessly."
David Bentley, lighting designer for Summit Group Event Services, designed the lighting scheme for the music video and the live, travelling show. In addition to the fixtures used for the music video, he specified 12 COLORado 3P Tour and eight COLORado 1 Tour wash lights, one Arena Hazer 3, ShowXpress, SparkliteLED Drape and four Legend 550 Spot and eight Legend 6500 moving heads.
