Chauvet lights Stadthalle Delbrück weekend
- Details
Taking place over a weekend, the safe, socially distant event (there was no live audience and minimal production crews), featured five different bands. Providing them with a dynamic stage setting was a power-packed fast-moving lighting rig supplied by LDT Veranstaltungsservice that featured over 25 Chauvet Professional fixtures.
A collection of six Ovation E-930VW ellipsoidals along with four Ovation F-145VW and four Ovation F-915VW Fresnels, already hung on the truss over the audience. Installed by LDT Veranstaltungsservice last year, these units were used for front lighting and key lighting.
To deliver extra visual punch and provide full production looks for the video shoots, LDT Veranstaltungsservice brought in eight Maverick MK2 Spot and four Rogue R2 Wash fixtures, along with an Amhaze fogger from its own inventory for the weekend.
Half of the spots and washes were hung on upstage truss. From this position, the spot units were used to texturize the stage with crisp gobo patterns, while the washes were called upon to cover it with a rich variety of colours and provide downlighting on the performers.
The remaining Maverick and Rogue fixtures were arranged along the upstage deck and were used for uplighting as well as aerial effects. Creating exciting crossing patterns of light in the air, gave the video productions the look and feel of concert performances, which is precisely what Thorsten Bongartz had in mind when he designed the weekend’s lightshows.
“We wanted to give local bands an opportunity to produce videos in a professional environment because they cannot perform live in front of an audience right now,” he said. “It was important to replicate the live mood as much as possible.”
