For this project, it was decided that the normal rotation of the mirrorballs wasn't enough - they also travel up and down through the atrium, courtesy of TRG Rigging. White Light's team therefore installed moving lights around the outside of the atrium, programmed to follow the movement of each ball.
Installation work took place over five nights. Coemar's Infinity Spot M was chosen for its high light output within a smart compact unit. The fixtures e motor cues were controlled using a grandMA lighting console; this was initiated by Selfridges' building management system in the morning, and the four minute show was then scheduled throughout the day using the console's built-in Agenda feature.
"The atrium looks fantastic," commented Maria Katehis, Selfridges' senior production manager. "I have received highly complementary emails from all over the business."
