Blog Series: Behind the Scenes
Behind-the-scenes at HQ with Zach Matusow
We had the pleasure of hosting Zach Matusow, tour lighting designer for Foster the People. While he was at CHAUVET HQ, we did a Take 5 Interview with a Lighting Designer segment with our own John Dunn, business development manager for the west coast, and gave him some one-one-one time with a few select CHAUVET Professional fixtures.
The interview is coming soon. Stay tuned.

The St.Louis-based Muny theatre’s production of Dreamgirls featured battery-powered, 100% TRUE wirelessly-controlled CHAUVET DJ Freedom Par and CHAUVET Professional WELL wash lights in the truss tower set pieces that freely moved about its 94-foot stage. We have a couple of behind-the-scenes shots below. Enjoy.

Parlez-vous CHAUVET?
Our distributor from France, Algam, visited CHAUVET HQ after The NAMM Show 2012. While they were here, we had a little fun while shooting a video short starring Algam President, Gerard Garnier. Our top question: “Parlez-vous CHAUVET?” (translated to ‘Do you speak CHAUVET?’) While we await its completion, here are a few behind the scenes photos to enjoy.

Mexico trip: TV Azteca
Written by Mike Graham, product manager for CHAUVET Professional
I was in Mexico for the day to show our Legend Series to TV Azteca. I trained them on three fixtures from this series: Legend 1200E Wash, Legend 1200E Spot and Legend 300E Beam. Take a look at some of the behind-the-scenes shots Stéphane Gressier, global sales director for CHAUVET, took below.
