JDI creates engagement for Wu-Tang Clan with Chauvet

Wu-Tang Clan celebrated their 25th anniversary with a sold-out concert at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, MA. Freddy Thompson’s lighting design featured over 60 Chauvet Professional fixtures, supplied by JDI Productions, Inc.

Color played a big role in setting the mood. “The group was looking for deep and saturated colors, so ambers, reds and yellows dominated this design,” Thompson says. “But darker color schemes with blue, lavender and congo combinations were used as well. Both of these color combinations complemented the group’s stage presence and their famous logo.”

Thompson used 16 Rogue R3 Wash, 16 Maverick MK1 Hybrid, 12 Rogue R2 Wash, 16 Legend 230SR Beam, and 4 Strike 4 fixtures to create his looks on stage and over the crowd. The Rogue R3 Wash fixtures were flown on the downstage truss and were used to light the group and their set pieces. Also on the downstage truss were the Strike 4 units, which provided audience lighting.

On the upstage truss, Thompson flew eight of his Maverick MK1 Hybrids and an equal number of Rogue R2 Washes. The remaining Maverick and Rogue R2 units, along with the Legend fixtures, were positioned on 12’ truss towers stage left and right. Thompson credits his light tech, Mark Kuepker, and the production manager of the show, C.J. Stasinos, with helping the show run smoothly.
