Producer Ajay Parekh and lighting designer Paul Cook specified a rig of 80 VL5arcs at the base of the Eye to create a gold wash capable of dynamic colour and intensity chases in harmony with the many Jubilee beacons being lit around the country. Creative director Simon Tapping commented: "Each time we produce another event at the British Airways London Eye we are reminded of its enormous scale, and the unique challenges which the scale and location impose. Vari-Lite continue to bring a high level of enthusiasm and expertise to these projects, supporting us with numerous tests and client demonstrations to achieve the desired result every time."
Vari-Lite’s account manager, Keith Duncan, commented: "We are very proud to be involved with Park Avenue again lighting what has become one of London’s best-loved landmarks."
The British Airway London Eye will be illuminated between the 31st May and 9th of June.
