Lancelot parties with Ivete Sangalo
- Details
Sangalo is a multi-talented, multi award-winning performer with 22 albums, 15msales, 51m social media followers, and over 150 national and international awards to her name.
“Lancelot is a very special fixture,” says Daniel Ridano, CEO at Lighting Bits, RJ’s Brazilian distributor. “It is a product that combines quality, power, functionality and precision into a followspot that is by far the best in its segment.”
The four Lancelot followspots were supplied by rental company, LPL Professional Lighting, and rigged on two towers located 70m from the stage. It was here that Lancelot’s 2°-5° zoom optics came into their own: “When we began the project, we did not know what the front of house installation would be like, or even if we would have towers,” says Lebrão, “so we chose the Lancelot because we knew it would be able to cope easily with the enormous throw distances, whether we had towers or would need to position them further away. Lancelot has the versatility to work at both extreme and medium distances.”
This is not the first time Lebrão has used Lancelot in live performance and under filming conditions. “The first time I used a Lancelot was in Spain at the shoot of Alejandro Sanz's DVD in Seville,” he says. “I was extremely impressed with the Lancelots because they were about 110m away from the stage and they worked extremely well and looked great on camera too.”
