The event, staged at the New Luxor Theatre in Rotterdam, honoured the best of Dutch Musical Theatre. Technical production was coordinated by De Meern-based Sightline Productions, and production managed by Erwin Rintjema for producer The Musical Awards Foundation and Eyeworks.
Complex site measurements were needed to calculate the required perspective correction. E/T/C UK's Ross Ashton says: "These were the most complicated line-up grids we have ever had to produce." Each p
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's - 40 thousand LED pixels on a ceiling!!! Indochine's whirlwind tour transports fans to another level of the live experience - immersing them from floor to ceiling with PixMob's X4 wristbands, and an LED ceiling made entirely of its NOVA Minis! With the vision of Indochine's creative team, PixMob used its LED fan-technology to turn attendees and venues into an ocean of effects, and a starry sky of LED magic. Très très cool!

Hemijaya was set up five years ago to provide staging, truss and lighting systems, and more recently it launched a sister company, Clef Sound and Light Sdn Bhd, to handle PA and lighting rentals. The company already owns three Midas Venice consoles as well as a large inventory of Electro-Voice speaker systems. "We chose Siena in particular because it has the flexibility to be used as a front of house or a monitor desk," says David Tham from the Hemijaya Group. "We've already been using it across a range of concerts and shows which we¹ve worked on for Malay
Designed for live sound reinforcement and broadcast applications, the Venue is a modular live sound mixing and production environment comprising the D-Show mixing console, front-of-house mix engine, Stage Rack I/O unit with recallable, remote-controlled preamps, and a multi-channel digital snake.
As a modular base system, it is infinitely configurable, say the company, supporting up to 96 mic inputs and 27 busses. The powerful mix engine provides EQ and dynamic processing on every input channel along with assignable graphic EQ's and full support for Pro Tools plug-ins.
Digidesign's European live sound sales manager Mike Case said: "Both Marquee and Orbital possess as much digital technology experience
This production was pared down in almost every aspect - lighting, sound and set - but for different reasons in each area. The show originally included a large video projection, centre stage, along with several scenic elements, but ultimately Lavigne thought it all too much: "Avril just wanted to get back to simple stuff . . . she decided that the scrollers had too many colours on them - she didn't want to see anything in the amber range at all," explained lighting designer, AJ Pen. The cuts have effectively created a harder edged, crunchier rock and roll feel; obviously the productio
The set, made in China, replicates Beijing's Forbidden City: 175m wide, 70m deep and 35m high, it features six Chinese pavilions, 700sq.m of stairs and 4,000sq.m of space for the artists, on several levels of stage. The stage set also includes 3,750sq.m of suspended panels, five screens for sub-titles and close-ups and 1,850 lighting fixtures. Making its debut at the venue, L-Acoustics' German V-Dosc partner Westfalen Sound supplied the sound equipment, with certified V-Dosc engineer Mattias Funke at the head of the crew.

With the Single Population option, a single LED colour is provided at the same intensity as when using a single channel of the standard RGB ChromaStrip2. This option is highly cost-effective when single-colour applications are required at light levels produced by the existing strip. Power and single-channel dimmable control is provided by the ChromaZone, up to 3.6m can be driven from each ChromaZone output.
With the Triple Population option, a single LED colour is provided at three times the intensity of using a single channel of the standard RGB ChromaStrip2. This option is cost-effective where single colour applications are required at three times the light

With headliners like The Doves, Super Furry Animals, Sigur Ros and Bloc Party, Nick Read designed a generic lighting rig for the venue's first series of summer concerts promoted by Somerset House themselves, and staged in the charismatic courtyard in central London. These will be followed by another series run by top UK promoters, Metropolis. Most band LDs used the D4, reports Read: "Because it's a great festival desk and this is essentially a festival-style set-up. It's highly 'buskable' and perfect for the job."
The main D4 programmer on Read's team was Dom Smith, himself a keen D4
Allan Burgess, manager of Musco's mobile services division, says Nationwide Access regularly supplies the company's access hire requirement. The four boom lifts used at Trent Bridge supplemented four lighting towers which are owned and operated by Musco. "We have four cranes but eight sets of lamps and we used all eight se
Mike Blackman, ISE 2006 managing director explains: "The success of InfoComm 2005 demonstrates that the market is growing stronger by the year as more professionals and installers look to exhibitions as the key medium to source new products and see the latest innovations in technology."
Blackman also had this to say about the latest progress on ISE 2006:
"This was quite different from most of the shows that we light," said Norgeot. "Whereas most events we design are very busy, with challenging time constraints and he
