Lighting designer and director of photography (DOP) Carlos Nogueira specified almost 600 Robe moving lights for a DVD shoot by Forro singer/songwriter Wesley Safadão, staged at the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha in Brasilia, Brazil. The concert was attended by 50,000 fans who were all a part of the live experience as well as an essential element of the 24 camera - including a drone - DVD shoot, directed by Fernando Trevivan Catatau from Unic Film.

 

Once the structural elements of the stage design were established, Nogueira had to place his fixtures around the space. There were around 700 lights in total. The lighting kit was all delivered by Sao Paulo based Apple Produções and included 160 Robe Pointes.

 

Also gracing the rig were 48 x BMFL Spots, 26 x ColorSpot 1200 ATs, 26 x ColorWash 1200 ATs, 120 x LEDBeam 100s, 60 x LEDWash 600s, 48 x LEDWash 1200s, 50 x CycFX 8s, 12 x Robin 300E Beams, 10 x ColorBeam 2500ATs, 24 x MMX WashBeams, plus PARs, Jarags and other LED sources, all controlled from two consoles - a GrandMA2 light and full size.

 

Nogueira positioned the BMFLs on the over-stage trusses. When it came to the Pointes, his strategy was different. “They work well as walls of lighting at the sides of the stage and this is what I did with them here,” he explains. He used the Pointes them as beams, spots and washes. The 120 LEDBeam 100s were dotted all over the place and used as ‘flare’ lights going onto the camera shots and the audience.

 

For lighting the audience generally, Nogueira used as many LEDWash 1200s and 600s as possible. They were complimented with ColorSpot 1200E ATs used for gobo lively and projections, together with more LEDBeam 100s. The LEDWash 600s and 1200s were also used as base washes across the band for the cameras and were distributed around the stage expressly with this task in mind. These fixtures were supported by the MMX WashBeams which provided front and rear key light on the band and Wesley Safadão. The CycFX 8s were positioned on the floor all around the stage.

 

Nogueira worked closely with lighting programmer Vinicius Costa to programme the MA2 consoles and also with Apple Produções’ Gabriel Pincel, who in his role as technical director, assisted with the layout and placement of all the fixtures on the rig. Scenic video content was designed by Carlos Leite Umbelino and the set and scenography was co-ordinated by Zé Carratur and Fernando Trevivan.
