    Miami Heat Forward Chris Bosh had a CHAUVET Professional Birthday Bash!

    Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh had a 30th birthday party, and LD Dan Cohen of Uplyte used a big rig full of CHAUVET Professional lighting to make it even more glam!

    From the article at PLSN Magazine:

    “This project was brought to us by one of our very talented event planner clients who does a lot of work with Team Bosh,” said Cohen. “Adrienne Bosh wanted a sultry Cirque style event with a seductive look and feel and yet, at the same time, also provided the traditional excitement of a ‘Big Top.’ We had to create a vast array of looks to give us some ‘cabaret’ style moods and then transition smoothly into a very different feeling for some of the specialty acts, which included a variety of Cirque-like performers. Having a versatile and reliable lighting rig was essential to us being able to fulfill the client’s vision for this project.”

    THE WEEKLY RIG from CHAUVET Professional and Trusst – THE GREAT WALL!

    Written by on . Posted in Uncategorized.

    It’s the fifth installment of THE WEEKLY RIG from CHAUVET Professional and Trusst!  This week’s installment is affectionately called THE GREAT WALL — check it out!

    The Great Wall, built from TRUSST Trussing, gives a solid structure on stage for you to use in any configuration you can invent — the edges of The Great Wall design features built-in out-rigging support in the form of truss legs that keeps the design upright and weight-balanced.  Make sure that if you modify this design at all that you plan in these pieces on the edges to support the structure!

    THE GREAT WALL utilizes several different models of TRUSST trussing, including 6-way corner blocks (strong and dependable!) 3m straight sections, 2.5m straight sections, 1m straight sections, and 24″ base plates.  THE GREAT WALL is a tall-standing backdrop for your tour, band, event, or for anything else to which you can add light and truss!

    This week’s installment of THE WEEKLY RIG features the powerful and fast LEGEND 330 SR Spot from CHAUVET Professional — a moving head spot that is just as much of a feature-packed tool as it is a photon cannon.  Also included on the FOH Truss are the venerable Q-Wash 419Z LED fixtures, used in THE GREAT WALL design for front light color washes, and the excellent 3200K LED fresnel in the Ovation line, the Ovation F-165WW, as low backlight blasts.  Truss toning of THE GREAT WALL is done by the COLORado 1 Tri-7 Tour, one of CHAUVET Professional’s hot LED PARs that blasts color down the chords of the truss effectively and intensely.

    Lady Gaga + NEXUS + SXSW = EPIC WIN

    Written by on . Posted in Uncategorized.

    Did you see Lady Gaga at South by Southwest in Austin (so sorry, SXSW!), lit by NEXUS 4×4?  Live Design wrote an awesome article about it, check it out!

    From the article:

    “Originally Lady Gaga was slated to perform at Doritos’ large vending machine, and at the last minute the city denied Doritos the permit because the venue was too small; somehow they were able to secure Stubbs (an outdoor barbeque restaurant) a couple blocks away that could hold a significantly larger amount of people,” said Roberts. “Cory Fitzgerald was tasked with designing a system that would fit the creative and fit on a rather small stage for that large an act. Creative had renderings that showed what looked like a wall of light fixtures, and we all instantly knew what would work for that – Nexus!”
