The low ceilings of the former parking structure created a special challenge when it came to lighting the group's performance. Lighting designer Ben Danielowski met this challenge in impressive fashion by utilising the zoomable prism on Legend 230SR Beam from Chauvet Professional.
"The club is a fantastic venue that's very popular in New York," said the LD. "However, as a former parking structure it does present some challenges when you're trying to light a rock show. With 12'-14' ceilings, and large support beams blocking most of my first choices of angles, it was difficult to get many of the great clean shots I was able to achieve during previous productions of this show when we've been touring."
Danielowski relied on the Legend 230SR Beam with its zoomable eight-facet rotating prism to help him achieve the desired beam coverage on the stage despite the low ceiling and relative scarcity of good angles. Zooming the prism out, he was able to get wide coverage in the low ceiling structure, while at the same achieving the distance needed to hit the stage with light.
"I was very impressed with the Legends," said Danielowski. "They were very fast and very bright, aside from having a nice beam angle and the zooming prism. They were a great alternative to the more expensive moving fixtures, and since budget is never not an issue that's always very important."
