Mike Zinman worked on content with LD John Morgan. Says Zinman, "This was the first time that I've seen the Showguns in action and we were all impressed by not only the output, but by the flexibility of the fixture to perform as a wash light and a spotlight. The gobos projected were amazing and I've never seen anything like it before for such a high output/large format fixture." Matt Firestone programmed the entire show.
Pete Radice is the automated lighting programmer. Says Radice: "They [the Showguns] read very well on TV. We don't do anything special with them. They're run at full with no [colour] correction. The show is balanced for daylight. The producers seem to favour strong, monochromatic looks and not too much flashing and moving. I was hoping to be able to use the tri-colour beam effect - I'll have to keep trying to work that in."
