Responsiblity for setting the scene for the event was assigned, for the first time, to EBS Lights of Limburg. Mario Kommorofski, project leader at EBS, shaped the front light as discontinued circular elements and the overhead light as a gigantic propeller, completed by circles and side lines. Light circles composed of large 'energy spools' floated up and down and back and forth above the crowd. The circles were the main lighting element and encompassed more than 300 fixtures.
"My first choice, of course, was to rely on Martin fixtures," Kommorofski commented. "First of all, because we carry a large stock of moving heads, strobes and other equipment from Martin Professional and the brand is largely available on the German rental market. Secondly, because the fixtures not only look good with their fantastic design but are also robust and reliable and able to do their job many hours in a row without a breakdown."
More than 150 Martin fixtures gave the impressive rig its special shape: 36 MAC III Profiles, 24 MAC 700 Washes, 38 MAC 700 Profiles, 24 MAC 250 Entours, 24 MAC 250 Washes (some were MAC 250 Beam upgrades), 12 Atomic 3000 strobes, 16 Atomics with Atomic Colors scrollers, and 24 MAC 401 Dual LED washlights.
