The prominent event honoured the best teen movies, music, fashion and (new this year), web stars, and attracted many rising young stars and celebrities. This year's presenters included Modern Family's Sarah Hyland and Teen Wolf's Tyler Posey, and a staggering 164m plus votes were cast by young fans through various social media channels. The show was broadcast live on the FOX Television Network.
This is the fourth TCA that has been lit by Kenny and his team and again, this year, he worked closely with Set Designer Steve Bass and Video Designer Eli Kinney to make the show lively, action-packed and a bit edgy.
Kenny used 60 x Robe Pointes, 24 x LEDWash 1200s and 12 x LEDWash 600s - all from Robe's Robin series. He was also the first LD in the U.S. to use Robe's new, bright moving light which will be launched worldwide in September. He used 49 of these special new fixtures in the rig.
The Pointes were positioned on the stage floor and in the roof trusses, and used for a wide selection of looks and effects and as an integral element of the main 'lighting picture'.
Kenny is a big fan of the Pointe and, in fact, was also the first LD to use these fixtures in the US last year. "The Pointes are so bright and so multi-purpose, and that's the beauty of them ... they can be used for anything and in all situations," he commented.
The Pointes had to hold their own against a large video-based set design and hundreds of other lighting fixtures, all supplied by VER, Los Angeles.
