Hasubski said,"The basic idea was that the show had to convey emotions through video images. However it was important for the video not to become too dominant. It had to fit harmonically into the general design concept. During some parts of the concert, lights were used to enhance the video components. However it was necessary to avoid putting the artists into the shadow while doing so. On the other hand, the light also had to stand out from the videos and produce visual emphasis. The arrangement of the video equipment and lights on the rig had to be very precise, since Marteria's music has a clear well-defined structure.
"The artists were a great help to me in the lighting design. I also dealt with programming and operating the lights," Hasubski continued. "I chose MA products once again because I have worked with them for years and the workflow and possibilities an MA system offers always strengthen my conviction they are the right choice. They also have something new to offer each time: for instance, you can set up and optimize individual work processes."
Herman Stöhr dealt with the video programming. The video manager was Dennis Baumann. The video content was developed and produced by Phillip Hilles in agreement with Hasubski and Marteria. Black Box Music Veranstaltungstechnik GmbH provided all the equipment.
