On 15 December 2012, the 17th Joyous Celebration DVD was recorded at Rhema Church in Johannesburg.
This respected project was made possible with the help of a technical team comprising of different companies.
ATTV provided and managed all the visual graphics and final DVD editing while sound, staging and six Clay Paky Sharpies were supplied by Sound Headquarters. The lighting rig and screens was supplied by EPH Productions. The entire show attended by 5000 audience was recorded on HD cameras; supplied by Malaphati. Wizardry Group was briefed to supply a lighting system that needed to look good on any camera from any angle and to keep the set alive.
It was also Wizardry Groups' responsibility to integrate all the video images with the lighting cues to create one seamless show of visually pleasing scenes...for this Francois van der Merwe requested the grandMA Video Processing Unit.
Van der Merwe was commissioned to design the lighting for the event, but as he also took control of running the LED visuals off MA Touch PC. Wizardry Group collaborated with Joshua Cutts (Visual Frontier) to integrate his MA Touch PC onto the same network and to operate the lighting.
Lighting rig and LED screens were supplied by EPH Productions. "Wizardry Group are amazing and professional," commented Leon Pheiffer from EPH Productions. "My team also enjoyed working with them."
