The Solar lighting developed by PLM was designed to compliment the scheme and add subtle LED light to enhance the trees in the evenings without consuming energy from traditional sources.
The Solar panels charge batteries during daylight hours and allow a glow of light through darker periods which then power the energy efficient LED up-lighters during the hours of darkness. "Too often, lighting is used in landscaping with scant regard to issues like heat and energy waste," says a PLM spokesman. "The LEDs do not produce any heat which could damage adjacent flora and are virtually mai

"We had more exhibitors and a wider range of products than ever," says black light managing director Gavin Stewart. "This year's move to the Lighthouse was a major step up as it provided much more space, it was very visually pleasing and created a really good personal atmosphere."
Having previously been held at black light's own premises, the move to the nearby lighthouse meant that the company's day to day business could also carry on unhindered. "We had to run a broadband line from our building and miles of power cabling, but that sort of thing is what we do every day," continues Gavin. "The staff at the lighthouse were keen to h

Pod Bluman of PSL Music, who has been actively involved in guerilla projection for the last few years, supervised the technical aspects of the event, which involved projection of Hexstatic imagery onto the arc-shaped water screen.

The frames were hidden behind the backline and then lifted into view half way through the performance of Open Up Your Heart for maximum impact. Hurst created a series of pulsing hearts across the PixelLine wall by first making the heart shapes in PixelDrive and then applying a zoom chase to animate them. The fixtures were then used as a high-impact effects surface, with Hurst crafting very specific PixelLine looks and patterns for each relevant song via his PixelDrive software.

Mike Frogge has been working with Donny Osmond for the last four years and wanted to make the rig look as big as possible, so he introduced two raked onstage trusses forming a V at their most onstage point, framed from behind by an upstage truss.
