Lighting designer Bob Dickinson specified 12 Clay Paky Sharpys to add pop to the show. The powerful yet compact lights were supplied in a newly available gold housing, which blended seamlessly with the décor and set design of the auditorium. Dickinson is known as the go-to lighting designer for major international events, including previous Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Awards shows, the opening and closing ceremonies at the Vancouver Winter Olympics and events at Expo 2010 Shanghai China.
The complement of gold Sharpys for the ceremony was supplied by VER. A.C.T Lighting is the North American distributor for Clay Paky.
Francesco Romagnoli, Clay Paky area manager for North and Latin America, adds, "We're thrilled to see our new gold Sharpys at such high profile event. They really helped make the awards ceremony shine."
