Premier Entertainment Group runs with Elation
- Details
Located in Dothan, Alabama, in the southeast corner of the state, Premier Entertainment Group recently acquired 20 Fuze SFX Spot FX fixtures along with other gear as part of a strategy that will see the event services provider put more focus on the touring market. In order to be well prepared once the Covid restrictions have passed, Guiler has put together lighting packages designed to quickly fill a touring rider, truck friendly gear that will also work well on festivals and one-off shows.
Guiler founded Premier Entertainment Group in 2007, when he was just 18, and has grown the company since. He bought into Elation gear about five years ago with the Platinum FLX and also keeps Fuze Wash 350s in his inventory. Currently 85% of his moving heads are Elation brand.
“We had the Platinum FLX, which were phenomenal lights, but for the calibre of shows we were doing, it was a bit much as we don’t always have 50 or 60 foot trims,” Guiler comments. “The Fuze SFX is high quality and versatile like the FLX but with a 300W LED source it has a smaller footprint. For power consumption and output, it’s exactly what we needed and fits in well with the size of events we’re doing.”
Guiler worked with Elation manufacturer rep firm Freed Sales, who briefed him on the Fuze SFX and demoed the light for him.
The Fuze SFX fixtures have already seen a demand as they have been rented to a recent dance recital filming. Bluewood Productions, based in Huntsville, AL, requested a powerful light to cut through the theatrical wash while still delivering mid-air visuals to be caught on film. The SFX did just that and has already secured future bookings for the fixtures.
