The event was staged at Carnival City in Gauteng and showcased in a two-hour live broadcast on South Africa's M-Net and Mzansi Magic channels. Alongside the competition, a line-up of South African acts entertained the live audience and thousands of viewers at home, including MTV Africa Music Award-winning group Mi Casa.
Cutts worked alongside Centurion-based technical supplier and event production house Dream Sets to deliver the sparkling production for the second consecutive year. He positioned 16 Mythos across multiple arches which framed the main stage.
"The Mythos were used on the main arch because of their punchier output compared to the other beams," explains Cutts. "As well as delivering great beam work it's a neat and compact fixture which helps it fit into any television environment."
As each contestant stalked down the main walkway, Cutts employed the sharp Mythos beams to cut across the stage adding to the high energy, edgy fashion-show feel.
Cutts design was also based around a large LED screen which worked as a visually-striking back wall, with the Mythos holding their own against its output.
