Featherstone's brief from Marto and the EVI team was to help bring their vision to life by creating an exciting 'arena scale' design that would be interesting and engaging from the front of the room to the back. A combination of a dynamic lighting system and an LED stage deck made for an inventive palette of creative tools, which included six of GLP's new impression Spot One LED heads.
With three days of meetings and awards - interspersed with live talent - the feature set of the Spot One was extended to the limit.
"I had seen the Spot one at a pre-production demo, and decided to try them at this event. I must say I was very impressed," Featherstone said.
Epic Production Technologies, who supplied the remainder of the lighting, were also evaluating the fixtures, and their account rep Donny LoDico shared the same reaction as the lighting designer to the impact the GLP fixtures provided.
"To me, LED fixtures are often at their best when they seamlessly replace conventional sources," concluded Featherstone. "On first look, the most remarkable thing about Spot One is how closely it matches traditional 700W discharge fixtures in performance. But then the colour kicks in, and the additive nature of LED colour completely blows away the competition. This, combined with low power and no heat, makes this fixture a compelling choice."
