Robe BMFL and Pointe moving lights were used on three major stages at Ultra Miami 2016 (a three-day EDM event staged along Bayfront Park in downtown Miami, which attracted over 150,000 music fans and party people) - the Main Stage, the Live Stage and the Carl Cox & Friends Arena.

 

The production design for Carl Cox & Friends, and the Worldwide Stage was created by Steve Lieberman of SJ Lighting. Contracted directly by Ultra, Lieberman was also the lighting designer for the main stage, where he collaborated with creative director Richard Milstein and production manager Ray Steinman.

 

On the Main Stage (215 ft, built by Mountain Productions), 64 x Robe BMFL Spots shot out into the night juxtaposed against the Miami shore and skylines. All lighting was supplied by Solotech and the vast amount of video surfaces by Screenworks.

 

At the Main Stage, lighting at FOH was looked after by Patrick Dierson and Josh Spodick working for SJ Lighting. Guest LDs included Andre Beekmans from Art of Light (Hardwell); Andy Hurst (Pendulum) who closed the show with a performance on Sunday; Sam MacLaren, lighting director working for Leggy and David Guetta; JJ Rotte for Lightimage (Fedde Le Grande); Chris van Bokhorst (Avicii); Bas Scheij for Art of Light (Afrojack) who played Saturday night, and Aron Altmark who lit Tiesto.

 

Lighting for the Live Stage - built around the permanent Bayfront Amphitheater and extended with side PA/video wings that also created additional lighting positions - included 70 Robe Pointes from locally-based rental company Paradigm Lighting. Running FOH here were Mike Smirka and Miguel Cortero, overseen by Jorge Valdez.

 

In the Carl Cox & Friends Arena, Steve Lieberman’s design - he also operated lighting at this venue - featured 24 x BMFL Spots and 96 x Pointes. A series of trussing lighting pods were positioned in the roof so they curved around the spacious structure accentuating the architecture. The moving lights were scattered across these pods, each of which was filled with LED panels in the centre, a combination of 8 mm and 37 mm pitch products, with the six most central pods were flown on an automation system that moved them into different positions throughout the night, tilting, pitching and changing the spatiality of the venue.

 

The structure, video, lighting and rigging were supplied by AG Production Services from Las Vegas, headed by Andrew Gumper, with the Robes supplied by locally-based Zenith Lighting. Joining Steve Lieberman at FOH on operating duties was Michael Seeverens from The Art of Light, who looked after ASOT.
