Richard Martin Lighting supports lighting designer Dave Davey's design. The design brief set out for Davey when he first joined the production, was to "make the set look colourful without spill onto projection screens". To achieve this Davey opted for VL1000TS' "All hanging, focussed on to backing flats".
The VL1000TS luminaire combines the functionality of one of the most popular conventional lighting tools - the ellipsoidal reflector spotlight - with the versatility of an automated luminaire.
Automated functions include CYM colour mixing, rotating gobos, variable diffusion, and a zoom lens that ranges from 19° to 36° for normal imaging and a super zoom function that ranges to 70°.
Davey comments, "The VL100TS is the right tool to apply colour and texture to the Mock The Week set to enhance all of the backings and the main desk."
