Karlsbad (Germany), 7th April 2021\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Joining forces with Red Nose Day and kitchen disco Isolation Nation, Glitterbox recently brought the curtain down on BBC1 Comic Relief\u2019s main event. The online Red Nose Rave, the special after-party, further boosted the BBC1 fund-raiser.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Taking place on a custom stage at the world-famous Royal Albert Hall, the venue was lit by Sam Tozer of Vision Factory, using new generation fixtures from the GLP portfolio. These zipped into action around midnight on 19th March to light sets from the from body confidence guru turned celebrity DJ Gok Wan, Melvo Baptiste, and The Shapeshifters, while Teni Tinks joined the latter for a live PA.<\/p>\n The LD has been working with Mattie Smith\u2019s production company Nocturnal Tour Management (NTRP) since the start of lockdown, handling the live YouTube streams. His brief here was to support the Glitterbox brand\u2019s own particular style and feel.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThey support the LGBQ+ community, and the stage is packed with dancers, colour, and enjoyment,\u201d Tozer said. \u201cWe had to create club intimacy down the camera lens, but at the same time turn it into a dynamic show. I was asked to design the set, production and lighting to meet this aesthetic, and from there I was given the freedom to create the show.<\/p>\n \u201cComing from a live performance background, lockdown shows have seen a big change in style of lighting and stage design,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe wanted to show off the scale of the venue but at the same time create its own space that would be more familiar to Glitterbox audiences.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Using the venue as a large catwalk, at the end of a centre room stage, which also incorporated the main stage, gave the director a new dynamic to pick up on. \u201cRather than utilise traditional rave\/party lighting techniques, I wanted to place more emphasis on the set and dancers and allow the energy of the performance to be portrayed through the camera and director cuts,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/3wmcomms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A16I7453-1LO.jpg” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”A16I7453-1LO” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ width=”68%” module_alignment=”center”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/3wmcomms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A16I7055-1LO.jpg” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”A16I7055-1LO” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ width=”68%” module_alignment=”center”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” text_font_size=”15px”]<\/p>\n The GLP fixtures comfortably met all the broadcast requirements. \u201cUltimately they needed to deliver an even field of saturated colour, with intensity from certain directions to produce light around the architecture of the set.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He had earlier sat down with Andy Strachan from vendor, Christie Lites, and top of the shopping list was GLP\u2019s impression FR10 Bar\u2014a fixture he would be using for the first time. He specified 19 pieces, which were all flown above the catwalk.<\/span><\/p>\n This batten contains 10 x 60W high output RGBW LED that colour-matches with the entire GLP X4 and FR series of fixtures. \u201cI wanted this for its output and zoom,\u201d said Tozer. \u201cIt played a major role on this show and I wasn\u2019t going to compromise on it. With the trim heights on the trusses, I needed the extra degrees of zoom and output that we miss when using other products.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, he tasked his programmer Kris Goodman with creating gradients of colour on the catwalk. \u201cAnd he achieved this via individual pixel control.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Tozer also set some GLP JDC1 hybrid strobes at the feet of the catwalk. \u201cThis was pixel mapped in order to provide cam eye candy as well as low fill for both sides of the catwalk,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n Both men piloted their own MA Lighting grandMA2 desks, with Kris Goodman running most of the show while Tozer took charge of key fills and kept the direction of the show moving.<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, the LD credits the support given by Christie Lites. \u201cAndy worked his magic as usual, so that we pulled it off exactly to plan.\u201d<\/span> The Red Nose Rave was broadcast on Glitterbox’s YouTube feed and was also viewable via the Facebook Live.<\/span><\/p>\n Photos: Sam Neill @samneill.photo<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″

His first outing with the powerful FR10 had been a complete success. \u201cIn fact we were able to make dynamic use of both GLP fixtures. They don\u2019t just need to fulfil a solitary role; they are sufficiently versatile to enable me to quickly grab a light and use it for a completely different function. I also love the strength of output I get from both units.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
