Elation Beams light second annual World Armenian Entertainment Awards

The World Armenian Entertainment Awards took place May 9th at the Agua Caliente Resort and Casino in Palm Springs, California. Video and lighting production technology for the event, which included the supply of Elation Beam series fixtures, was handled by Hi Energy Production for the second year running.

Hi Energy Production company head, Vic Antonyan, conceived the stage and lighting design for the Awards show and specified the Elation gear. Lighting programming was done by Esteban De La Torre-Alva who also handled pre-visualization drawings for the event using Elation’s Capture Argo Extended edition lighting design software.

In order to create the aerial impact on stage, a house rig of automated spot and wash fixtures was supplemented with 36 Elation Razyor Beam 2R and 24 Platinum Beam 5R Extreme beam fixtures. “We were running a lot of LED screen for the show, plus a bunch of white light for the cameras, so we needed something that would break through all that light”, Vic Antonyan states.

Featuring a132 W Platinum 2R lamp and projecting a super-narrow 3-degree beam, the Razyor Beam 2R’s added movement and beam effects from three over stage electrics while the Platinum Beam 5R Extremes with their 189 W Platinum 5R lamp and 3-degree beam worked from a floor position.

The rig was under the control of a pair of Elation-distributed HedgeHog 4 lighting consoles, also supplied by Hi Energy Production. A HedgeHog 4X with a DP8000 processor was used to control all the moving lights, including the house rig, while a HedgeHog 4S was used to run video, which was all pixel-mapped and ran through Elation’s Arkaos Media Master.
