Ben-Haim positioned fully pixel mappable RGBW fixtures around the main video screen. His goal was to “create a dynamic and immersive experience” for the audience by illuminating the artists and the stage from different angles and flanking them with bold displays to accentuate the mood and tone of their performance.
“I was inspired by the fixture’s pixel mapping, as well as its ability to create seamless symmetry and intense volumetric looks,” he explained. “I saw the fixture in videos promoting it on social media, and I had no doubt that it would be the perfect choice for the show. It was very exciting to see the fixtures for the first time in the show.”
The actual experience of using the fixtures lived up to Ben-Haim’s expectations. “I believe they contributed significantly to the overall success of the performance,” he said of the PXL Curve 12. “I used the fixture's bright and concentrated beam to create a stunning 3D effect on stage. By dividing the stage into segments, I was able to create a unique and immersive experience for the audience.”
Working with technical producers from Dynamic Vision and video content made from Visualive (Shmulik Ben Harush and Chaim Vaknin), Ben-Haim created a seamless flow of engaging looks. Hanging his COLORado PXL Curve 12 units vertically in four rows on either side of the main video wall and keeping centre-stage area relatively free of other lighting fixtures, he created a visual funnel, that drew the audience’s eyes into the performance.
Building on the immersive vibe of his design, Ben-Haim went with a colour palette that engendered classic, warm looks on stage. However, at the same time, he also wanted to retain an element of surprise, so he introduced cooler temperatures at different points during the show.
Explaining the vision behind his colour changes, Ben-Haim said: “I wanted to create a dynamic look for people.”
