During 2012 the SABC invited interested parties to participate in a tender process for the supply of lighting gear. Congratulations to Blackmotion Production who were awarded the tender at the end of last year.
Hire Company, Blackmotion, regularly work at the SABC where they've used their own Robe fixtures on five television productions.
"The SABC in-house crew also saw us supply a Tiger Touch to the television series Roots," explained Kagiso Tiro Daystar Moima, owner of Blackmotion. "They were fascinated by the console and the functions it provided for the lighting director."
The tender supply includes Prolyte Trussing (H30 V) and 12 Half Ton Motors.
The four new MVS Hazers purchased will most likely be used in the larger locations, like studio four and five. "They will give the right atmosphere especially when using the Sharpies and Spots," said Moima.
