Moore of Nitelites, who has worked with Frank and his backing band The Sleeping Souls since 2010, is using the high advanced beam and spot hybrid for large backlight gobo looks and dynamic aerial work.
"The Mythos was ideal for this tour as it's one fixture to do two jobs," he explains. "Its incredible zoom made it perfect for achieving the looks I wanted in varying sizes of venue."
The Mythos, supplied by Nitelites, are positioned on the mid and back truss and on the floor wrapped around the band. This set up provides Moore with three layers of beams to work with, adding great depth and perspective to his design.
For a special date at London's Alexandra Palace, the designer brought in eight additional finger trusses, placing one Mythos on each to add an extra dimension.
"The Mythos integrated perfectly into the rest of the design," says Moore. "I used a lot of conventional fixtures such as Par Cans and Molefays to create some big tungsten looks and the Mythos still packed the punch I needed to cut through.
"I have always been a big fan of the Clay Paky Sharpy, so when the Mythos came out it was a no brainer to try them out and then implement them into my show designs," continues Moore. "Mythos' beam mode is incredible and being able to use them as a spot means they are an ideal fixture for my designs."
