For the fifth consecutive year, Sweden's Spectra Plus will be providing all lighting, video and rigging for the event. For the fourth year in a row, the lighting will be designed by Per Sundin, who once again has chosen Pontus 'Bullen' Lagerbielke as his assistant lighting designer.
The four lighting operators will be working on four ETC Avab Congo consoles, sixteen HES Catalyst systems, more than 300 Robe moving heads, a number of conventionals and four Capture visualisation workstations.
Capture Sweden is providing the team with lighting simulation software for the event, which features a complex stage design with a many varied lighting options.
"It's a great opportunity for us to be able to work so closely together with a team of this magnitude. It's a very intense preproduction where things change rapidly, so they clearly need a flexible design software and solid support," saysLars Wernlund, development manager of Capture Sweden. "In addition, we get a chance to test a series of new features and technology and push our borders of visualisation technology forward!"
