Chauvet fixtures illuminate Rio carnival Christmas party

Two million people travel to the Rio de Janeiro carnival in Brazil each year, and the team at Vivid Experience decided upon this exotic South American festival atmosphere as the theme for the Athena Christmas party in the East Midlands region of the UK.

Production Manager Jake Moore and Production Engineer Chris T-Smith devised a plan to support Vivid’s creative concept of a carnival-like atmosphere at the Athena event, complete with a makeshift street filled with various pop-up bars, Brazilian artifacts and Samba dancers on stage. Contributing to this environment were colorful lighting displays from 12 Chauvet Professional Maverick MK1 Spot and 12 Maverick MK2 Wash fixtures.

Central to awarding a more theatrical element to the evening was the wash unit’s 7° - 49° zoom feature, which enabled Moore to provide dynamic front light for the artists on stage during the dance performances. Punching through the colors were the targeted throws of the spot fixtures, which were mostly positioned in the wings of the venue to provide a contrasting set of effects.
