Southern California-based Kinetic Lighting supplied the new LED wash light for the shows along with Elation's award-winning Platinum FLX hybrid moving head, Colour Chorus Series LED batten, and Elation's Platinum Beam 5R and Platinum Beam 5R Extreme moving head beam lights.
The concert series, presented by AT&T Audience Network and filmed at Red Studios in Hollywood, California, was shot over two weeks in mid-September and featured live performances in a club and recording studio setting. Over a dozen artists across all genres of music including Good Charlotte, Bebe Rexha, The Band Perry, AWOLNATION, Brandy Clark and others, taped live concerts, exclusive performances and in-depth artist interviews.
The concerts were the first outing for the new Fuze Par Z120 IP, one in a series of new LED lights from Elation that offers something different in a Par fixture - single source RGBW COB colour mixing, an extremely homogenized field of light and a lens face that appears as one colour instead of individual LED diodes.
"We stock the new Fuze Par Z120 wash because it achieves the look of a single source fixture with a large aperture and no other LED moving wash light on the market does that," comments David Rosen of Kinetic Lighting. "While most of the LED moving wash lights out there have multi-cell control and bubbles or rings across their displays, the Fuze goes in a completely different direction with its appearance. We can now offer our clients a totally different look, almost like fixtures from decades ago, while maintaining the color-mixing and efficiency of an LED engine."
LD Victor Fable sought the custom looks that a digital light can provide and turned to his own stock of Elation EMOTION fixtures on the show to achieve the visual effects. "The advantage of using EMOTION is flexibility, flexibility, flexibility," Fable said. "Also it's simple to get up and running.
So they can offer their clients the flexibility of a hybrid solution, Kinetic Lighting stocks Elation's multi-functional fixture, the Platinum FLX, and added the fixture to their inventory earlier in the year.
Another important part of Kinetic's investment was Elation's Colour Chorus Series of LED battens. "We were sold on the Colour Chorus because this line has great output and RGBA colour mixing that our most discerning clients love," Rosen said.
