28 PixelPar 44s featured on the immense lighting rig as truss warmers. ISD's lighting designer, Justin Garrone states: "For warming truss we primarily use PixelPars or PixelArcs. I like these fixtures because of their low profile, which allows us to fit them into tight spaces. Also, a nice feature of the PixelRange products - is the ability to spec a fixture that either has the brain attached or a brain that rides separately."
The Affliction Banned show featured distinguishable looks for each fighter - created using different colours and lighting effects, as well as custom designed media. And to reflect the essence, look and feel of what the Affliction brand represents - shooting beams of light from interesting angles, complemented by warm saturated colours washing the audience and the trusses - projected a trendy, rock influenced atmosphere. Heavy metal band Megadeth also performed live.
The Affliction Banned ISD team was led by artistic director Christopher Runnells, lighting designer Justin Garrone, media artist Nate Mitchell and project manager Mark Dowling.
