Southampton based hire company, GLS Lighting provided the lighting rig, a large amount of LED VersaTubes, a Hippotizer media server, live cameras on stage and to control it all - a ChamSys MagicQ MQ200 console.
The rigs itself comprised of 20 Robe ColourSpot 1200Ate, 20 MAC600, 14 Atomic strobes with scrollers, 20 ChromaQ Colourblock DB4, 20 LED PAR 64s, 260 VersaTubes driven from a Hippotizer plus a variety of moles, generics and dimmers over four universes of ArtNet.
Lighting Designer, Esteban Caracciolo found the transition to the MagicQ extremely easy and he was particularly impressed with the powerful media and LED control, and with the speed with which live changes could be made.
Crew chief Dave Dickinson put the technical part of the show together "I had worked with MagicQ for several high profile tours and was confident that it was the right console for this job - the combination of flexibility, power and reliability is awesome."
