Rent-All in turn delivered the units via Chain, a Dutch lighting services company for television, film and entertainment events, to the set of So You Think You Can Dance reality show.
Produced by Kanakna Produkties and broadcast on RTL5 from Studio Baarn, a total of 19 MAC III Profiles are used to light the dance spectacle. Lighting Designer for the show is HenkJan van Beek of Light-H-Art who has placed the majority of the MAC III units in a truss above the set with two units located on the floor. Also used on the show are 23 Martin MAC 250 Washes and several conventional lighting units.
"It's a powerful dance competition and the MAC III units fit in the set quite well," he says. "I wanted a bright powerful beam for this show rather than a lot of minor beams, so I chose the MAC III. I like the output and the fast zoom. For television the CTO correction is very useful and allows us to get the looks just right. Overall, I'm very happy with the units."
