Over the course of the three days, Francesco Romagnoli, Clay Paky sales manager for the Americas, and Jorge Aguirre, president of Vector 10, demonstrated Mexican market trends which are providing some very interesting indications: indeed all sectors are in constant growth, from discotheques, to touring, TV and the architectural sector.
One of the highlights of the seminar was the session conducted by Patrick Woodroffe. During his career, Woodroffe has designed for Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Elton John, The Rolling Stones and Tina Turner to name but a few - as well as theatrical shows, festivals, musicals, industrial presentations and fashion shows. During the seminar he illustrated the techniques and technologies of professional lighting, drawing fully on his own very rich experience.
The final day was dedicated to an Open day, demonstrating the complete range of Clay Paky products, including the new Golden Spot 1200 and Golden Color 1200 moving body units. Francesco Romagnoli also introduced the ‘Silent Version’ (SV) models, designed for environments in which silence is essential. Among these models the Stage Profile Plus SV, a professional beam-shaper - with patented profile system - which allows highly controlled and defined projection of all forms of quadrilateral and triangular shapes.
