Seventy tons of equipment are transported every week from one town to another. "Our team consists of 40 people. They need two days to build up the studio," explains Jörg Privsek of Make It Real. "We want to get as close to the people as possible, therefore our system has to be mobile. Our set designer Jürgen Harsler arranges the seats around the studio stage to produce a stadium feeling. The lighting rig with its four pylons also reminds the spectators of this."
Lighting Designer Manuel da Costa adds, "Important for my choice of material were gentle fans, low power consumption, low heat and minimal maintenance time. The grandMA was my console of choice because it has excellent possibilities for conventional and moving lights. It also has extensive networking abilities, which are far ahead of others."
Besides the Vari-Lites 12 x DTS PAR 56 and 16 x ETC Source Four Pars are implemented into the studio and the entrance area. Numerous LEDs paint the studio into the different colours of the football clubs being under discussion.
