Singapore - Singapore National Day featured 5,000 performers in a mass tableau on a floating platform that was 120m wide by 83m deep, and a grandstand holding over 30,000 spectators. Lighting design was created by Paul Collison who controlled the show via two grandMA full-size, two grandMA ultra-light and 16 x MA NSPs.

This year saw the introduction of grandMA video as a major part of the scenic landscape. 1,800sq.m of custom made LED netting framed the back of the stage. Four grandMA media servers controlled the screen. "The influence this had on the view was amazing," said Collison, "I've always liked playing with video and lighting, however I've never had the chance to work with it on such a massive screen and have total creative freedom to entwine it into the scenic landscape. Playing between the lighting fixtures and the screens is a lot of fun. On such a big scale as this, you need to be careful to not take over the whole stage."

Lighting production was done by Showtec Group Singapore. Addam Crawford was lighting project manager, Stuart Anderson lighting design assistant.
