Matt Geasey, visuals department manager at Morris, and his team oversaw the lighting design, 3D rendering and equipment specifications for multiple activities. For the free IntelliCentrics Outdoor Concert Series, part of the Bridgestone Winter Park venue in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, he selected 90 Mythos and 30 Sharpy Wash 330s for the Hond
The production design for Carl Cox & Friends, and the Worldwide Stage was created by Steve Lieberman of SJ Lighting. Contracted directly by Ultra, Steve was also the lighting designer for the main stage, where he collaborated closely with creative director Richard Milstein and production manager Ray Steinman to develop a unique Ultra concept that also took into account the requirements and specs of all the headliners - a veritable Who's Who of EDM A-lis
The veteran rockers started their first-ever show in Cuba with Jumpin' Jack Flash, a song recorded in 1968 when Cuban rock fans were secretly sharing pirated vinyl records and risked being sent to rural work brigades to cure "ideological deviation".
"We know that years back it was hard to hear our music in Cuba, but here we are playing. I also think the times are changing," singer Mick Jagger said to a roar from the crowd. Jagger spoke in Spanish throughout of the 18-song show of hit
This visual treatment will provide the backdrop for two new key products - the DL7S Profile and the DL7F Wash which are specifically aimed for theatre and television markets.
The eye-catching stand will feature a special space where the hourly One Man One Light show will play daily, every hour on the half-hour, with the first show at 10.30 a.m. and the last at 18.30. It will illustrate the power and versatility of Robe's elegant BMFL Blade profile fixture built for stage and performance applications.
The entire mood of the booth will transform over the course of each hourly period allowing v
The finals of the tenth Intel Extreme Masters season were seen by more than 34m unique viewers - a staggering 32% increase on last year. The three-day main event itself saw 113,000 fans stream into the Spodek arena and IEM Expo, with the finals of each Intel Extreme Masters tournament taking place in front of 10,000 fans in the sold-out stadium.
The ESL relied on the experience of Aram for the planning, design and technical production of all five stages including the giant main stage and also 11 trade fair booths. Aram was responsible for the concepts and the complete technical and set designs of all stages including rental of lighting, multimedia, scenic, audio, trussing, rigging as well as custom made automation
The work is based on HG Wells' 1879 novel about a Martian invasion and has the additional resonance of being played completely with a mix of orchestral and electronic musicians conducted by Wayne himself.
Directed by Bob Tomson, it boasts a star studded cast and is narrated by Liam Neeson - who appears via video - and an equally talented technical and creative team includes lighting designed by Tim Oliver and set by Ric Lipson for Stufish.
HSL's John Slevin, project managing the account, comments, "We're extremely proud to be supporting this production for the first time in the West End. The design is vib
"For the past five years, we have provided what has become a staple at music festivals and larger outdoor events, our Mini-Mega Structure for the Carl Cox & Friends Stage at Ultra Music Festival," says AG Production Services president Andrew Gumper. "A scaled down version of the Mini-Mega Structure, which was used on the Worldwide Stage has also become a staple. Both structures use the same trussing and rigging materials and are highly configurable while still providing im
Now, for the first-time ever, this iconic show is being adapted into a stage production that will visit several venues across the UK. White Light is providing the lighting equipment for this world premiere which has now opened at the Blackpool Grand Theatre.
Originally broadcast on ITV1, Heartbeat is set in the fictional village of Aidensfield and focuses on the local police force having to deal with the day-to-day events of living in a rural community.
The stage version of the show is being produced by David Graham Entertainment Limited. Managing director David Graham comments, "We have lots of experience in adapting
With the company's biggest trade show booth to date and a launch of a brand new product, LumenRadio is promising something extra this year.
"We've have this crazy idea for a while that high performance wireless DMX doesn't have to be reserved for the big shows with the big budgets. Thanks the success of our TiMo platform, we have been able to design something quite extraordinary that we believe will open up a completely new market for us", says Michael Karlsson, R&D Manager for LumenRadio.
LumenRadio will not only bring the entire CRMX line-up, but also showcase a wide range of products from the company's many OEM partners. "We have certainly established ourselves as the dominant force and technology
This amount brought the total donated from the apps to just over a quarter of a million dollars, a number that overwhelms everyone involved. When first launched, it was unimaginable that these apps, developed by ETC software engineers Chris Mizerak and Anders Ekvall, would bring so much help and hope to our colleagues in need.
Upon presenting the cheque, Fred commented, "We're once again humbled by our customers' generosity. As we celebrate ETC's 40th anniversary and reflect on our history, we continue to be proud of the impact that the funds from the iRFR and aRFR sales have made over the years in the lives of those supported by BT
Andrew Turner, project manager and designer of this show, chose Wireless Solution from the start: "We had other wireless equipment on other shows but the experience so far hasn't been the greatest - often these systems crash when suddenly you get 10,000 people in a venue, minutes before the show. We talked to Wireless Solution during the planning stage for this show to understand the differences between systems. It was the first time we worked with Wireless Solution."

His design-based approach has gained him a lot of work in the genres of theatre, musicals and opera - from runs at specific venues to touring productions - an active and buzzing scene in a country with a performance-loving population. Many productions circling the country will have a semi-professional cast and a professional technical crew and a typical touring run lasts around six weeks and visits a series of theatres and arts centres with capacities between 300 and 1600.
"So scalability is fundamental to any touring lighting design," explains Kristoffer, and a parameter that led him to invest in t
With the new Mantra Lite console breaking all sales records at LSC Lighting, new software to be released at the show will extend this little console's power even further.
As a complement to the Mantra Lite, a new Mantra Wing will be previewed at the show. Due for release in June, the wing adds an additional 12 fixture faders and 10 further playbacks as well as an extra DMX 512 Universe hardware output.
Also on show will be the Clarity LX-Series range of consoles showing the latest software. This new version is a substantial and significant step forward and way ahead of the competition in the control of compound and complex multi-segment fixtures.

The major investment in the art deco style Hall has included upgrading the lighting system with Liverpool Philharmonic opting to install an MA dot2 XL-F console. Liverpool Philharmonic's head of production, Gail Wroth said: "Whilst looking at the fixtures, fittings and equipment lists for our exciting new Music Room venue, Rob Beamer from Stage Electrics who were completing the install, offered
Broadcast live on Foxtel's Country Music Channel the event celebrated the music and artists who are most-loved by their dedicated country music fans in Australia.
Mandylights were responsible for the production design, production management, stage management, lighting design and operation. Lighting gear came from Crystal Productions, Resolution X and Mandylights themselves.
The event was the first time Scenius, Clay Paky's moving head spotlight, was used in Australia as Crystal Productions had received fourteen a few days prior.

This practical module offers second years on the BA (Hons) Lighting Design course at the leading UK theatre and performance college the opportunity to explore and engage in non-theatre lighting genres like live music.
Covering a period of about four weeks, and mentored by leading industry designer Dave 'Biccie' Lee, the programme culminated with the design of a real lighting rig programmed and operated by the students - Will Steggles, Sam Woolass, Stacey Sandford, Andrew Budge, Matt Bevan and Mitch Andrews - for a ticketed concert at the college's Rose Theatre.
The Concert Lighting Project idea was initiated by the college's programme direc
Everyone is familiar with that feeling: when the cable doesn't quite reach to the light, or the speaker, or the video projector. Not by much, but by just enough that, after a vain tug or two in the hope that some slack will mysteriously appear, you have to interrupt what you're doing to go find an extension cable. Which will always be too long, and so have to be tidied away on the bar or truss.
Now, combining the twin goals of providing creative solutions backed by technical excellence that has driven the company throughout its history, specialist entertainment technology supplier WL has created a solution: StretchCable.
The result of a top secret, highly intensive research project begun exactly one year ago today, Stretc

As well as projection mapping, the next big thing is moving and interactive projection mapping, which now can be accomplished in any setting and scale with the help of BlackTrax.
"We're bringing a bit of fun to the Prolight+Sound show this year and look forward to using BlackTrax to track several objects on our booth. Visitors will have the chance to take a 'selfie' picture using some of the frame objects and we are looking forward to that," says Mercedes Stevao-Boase, public relations and communications manager at Green Hippo.

The Winslow Players put on three productions a year at the Winslow Public Hall - a play in spring, a play in autumn and a pantomime each February. An important part of the community of Winslow and its surrounding areas, the group has been running for 45 years.
National Stage Technology, which recently acquired Oxford-based Lancelyn Theatre Supplies, supplied and carried out the install. It comprised eight PLprofile, 10 PLfresnel and 5 PLcyc fixtures, providing a more flexible and energy efficient alternative to the previous tungsten system.
"The Players wanted an up-to-date lighting system that was dynamic and easy to use as the performance space is host to a variety of activities," explains Reg Berry, directo
