USA - Oscar winning actor Jamie Foxx, is currently on an 18 week concert tour in support of his new CD Unpredictable. The Dreamgirls star's show includes songs and stand-up comedy - and special guest American Idol winner Fantasia.

The lighting is a collaboration between lighting director Daunte Kenner and production manager Alan Thompson. The rig includes 12 PixelLine 1044s, 24 PixelArc Rs and a variety of moving fixtures.

It is the first time Daunte has used PixelArcs as floor fixtures and comments, "PixelLines do an excellent job of filling in the blanks of a rig when you are on a tight budget and low on fixtures. They're quick to set-up and require very little labour. They offer multiple services: wash lights, audience abuse, truss warmers, awkward set pieces, cyc lights and you can even pump video through them."

He continues, "Even more valuable is their low power consumption and because of this they are the staple of my rig with a band called Bravery - as power availability is always an issue with them."
