Believers Church supports music with Chauvet
- Details
“Our youth services have a lot of very expressive high-energy songs,” said Cory Clement, the church’s technical director, who oversaw the lighting upgrade. “Being able to reflect this music with colour changes, zooms and effects from 19 moving fixtures really provides an engaging and enriching experience. Previously, we had no movers in our Youth Room, so the difference is night and day.”
The lighting upgrade that Clement speaks of was part of a larger $800,000 renovation project that involved the section of the building that had been the church’s school. “Everything in the school area was completely gutted, which allowed us to start from scratch,” he said. “The new Youth Room was previously gym space. Lighting, sound and video were all purchased new for this project.”
Making up the lighting package, which was selected by Clement, are nine Rogue R1 Wash, six Rogue R2 Wash and four Rogue R2 Spot fixtures, which are used for effect lighting, as well as four Ovation E-910FC RGBA-Lime colour-mixing ellipsoidals and two Ovation F-165WW warm white Fresnel fixtures for front of house lighting.
Speaking of his choice of fixtures, Clement noted: “I knew I would only have so many circuits available, so LED fixtures were a must because of their low power draw. Beyond that, I wanted to stay in the same family of fixtures so that I could easily achieve similar color palettes. The Rogue and Ovation lines were a great match for the budget – and they added great flexibility.”
