Chauvet lights Stan Van Samang tour
- Details
As Stan Van Samang’s live shows are all about interaction between audience and artist, Rogge decided upon a visual interaction of his own, that between the Maverick MK 2 spot and 24 R2 Rogue wash fixtures.
“The Maverick and Rogue fixtures formed the basis of my lighting concept,” commented Rogge. “Thanks to the incredibly powerful spot and zoom features of the Maverick and the saturated wash effects of the Rogue fixtures, Stan had the perfect backdrop upon which to perform.”
Rogge positioned eight Maverick MK 2 spot fixtures on above stage truss, with a further eight pieces standing on the floor in a pincer-like formation. The 440W spots could scissor across the stage and out into the audience, providing excellent audience ariels whilst simultaneously lighting Stan from behind.
“The rotating slot and lock gobo wheels allowed me to quickly mix up effects and patterns on the stage according to the mood of the particular songs.”
Furthermore, Rogge was impressed with the CMY colour mixing of the Maverick fixtures, which allowed him to create excellent colour spot looks. “The CMY is very quick and the colours look natural – essential for providing the right kind of atmosphere during the show.”
Rogge also positioned eight Chauvet Professional Rogue R2 Wash fixtures on back stage truss, with a further eight washes on the floor and four washes on stage left and stage right respectively.
“The Rogue R2 Wash is excellent for providing strong saturated colours over an even field,” commented Rogge. “With all fixtures covering a huge area, output was strong and the stage was set for the ultimate backdrop to Stan’s intimate performances.”
