LabeLive, out of Franklin, Tennessee, has provided full production and stage design for the artist's current Anomaly tour, which features a rig of Elation Platinum Wash 16R Pro and Platinum 5R Extreme moving heads, along with Elation Cuepix Blinders. LabelLive, who operated for five years as live production company Sixdegrees Touring before launching under the LabeLive name in May, support a full slate of talent often using Elation lighting rigs, which they turn to for its "great return on investment, quality, reliability, and customer support."
LabeLive's team of John Boyd, Matthew Brewer and Kyle Lollis designed the rig with Lecrae's production manager Justin Jones and LD Cory Fornier. The design, which was heavily video-focused, required lighting support to fill the areas around the video screens. "I have Platinum 5R Extremes placed in the LED wall and above the wall creating a cool punch and vibe that you can't get from a larger fixture," he commented. The 5R Extremes are located on a mid-stage truss, on top of truss towers and also along the gaps of the 45' x 15' video wall.
Cory placed powerful 330W Platinum Wash 16R Pro wash and beam fixtures on truss towers on the downstage left and right edge for a side wash. "It is one of the coolest features in the rig," he says. "Using the beamshaper as a rotating effect and also in specific keylight moments creates a feel and a moment that is perfect for the show."
