Robe gets in a Panic
- Details
Together they specified 50 x Robe BMFL Spots, 10 x CycFX8s and six PATT 2013s which are prominent on the rig. The idea was to create a dynamic stage aesthetic which would highlight the classiness of adding a Sinatra-style horns section to the line-up combined with a mysterious new cult logo.
The architecture of the rig with gold-painted ladders at the back, contrasted with five moving curved LED video ‘chandeliers’ which meant the environment could easily switch from classic to edgy and contemporary!
The BMFL Spots are dotted around the rig on the upstage ladder structure, on the video chandeliers and the floor. They needed a high powered hard-edged fixture that could slice decisively through the various video elements which also include three upstage fixed LED screens.
The PATT 2013s were rigged on mid stage pantographs which came in during two songs only for maximum impact.
During Death of a Bachelor they mimicked elegant vintage prop lights, and in
The CycFX 8s were used as footlights, where they were very versatile, also doubling up as blinders and as front filler to complete the big production looks.
Luz Studio also created content for all 20 songs in the set which was replayed via a media server, programmed by David Robdeau from Luz Studio who also project managed their team and drew up all the plans.
Lighting was programmed by Alex who is out operating the show on the road and all the lighting equipment is being supplied by Upstaging.
