Working for LIFT (London International Festival Theatre), production manager Tom Bailey and lighting designer Paul Cook, PRG's Loz Wilcox supplied lighting to illuminate the EDF Energy London Eye. This was the last event in the Surprises:STREB sequence and an exciting finale.
Production manager, Tom Bailey said, "With such a complex project, spread over seven iconic London sites on one day, I was looking for a turn-key approach from PRG to tackle the lighting of the Eye. PRG took this on-board right from the start and managed the process in a straight forward and efficient manner - and produced fantastic results. My thanks to all involved."
The event took place at 11pm with the wheel lit by a dramatic wash of white and red. The ground based lighting for the eye comprised of Arrisun12 HMI Pars, Robe Cityskape Extreme LED Floods and Zap Technologies BigLite searchlights.
PRG crew chief was Martin Scott. The event was programmed by Gerry Mott using a Chamsys Magic Q Pro 2010 console.
