Equipment for the US legs of the tour is being supplied by Paradign Production Services from Florida, and Robe fixtures were originally recommended to Boggino by Paradign's George Valdez, who also programmed the show with Boggino, using a grandMA full size console.
"George is the principal of Paradign and a very knowledgeable LD in his own right," states Boggino. "So I completely trusted his judgement when he suggested I use Robe's ColorSpot and ColorWash 1200E AT units for the first time". Once Valdez had demo'd the fixtures, Boggino was very impressed: "I particularly liked the quality of light, smooth movement and silent operation, and the colour palette is fantastic," he comments.
He is also using the standard set of ColorSpot 1200E AT gobos, allowing him to create some dramatic aerials and well defined beam projections. He says the Prism effect is very useful along with the slow and ultra smooth movement, all of which is ideal for a Temerarious show, which includes many soft, romantic ballads.
