Lighting designer Chuck Noble says: "With just days to conceptualize, design, and bring the set to life, Color Kinetics' LED-based systems enabled our vision through sophisticated control and tremendous creative flexibility - allowing us to add an element of movement that translates well on camera and matches the higher intensity of the game."
The set features several applications of Color Kinetics' LED-based illumination, including set-framing columns illuminated by iColor Cove systems, and a colour-changing staircase lit internally by ColorBlast systems. The audience seating area is bordered by a run of iColor Flex SL, which produces colour-chasing effects via individually addressable tri-colour LED nodes. The entire lighting scheme is controlled by a centralized DMX lighting console.
Color Kinetics say that their LED-based lighting systems are increasingly used for television applications that call for efficient, low heat, noise-free systems that can generate saturated colour on camera and allow for customizable effects in set design.
