Lighting design studio LightLab, headed by lighting designer and art director Alexandre LeBrun, created a lighting and stage design for French rapper Nekfeu’s 2018 summer tour based around mobile walls of light and used Elation Professional’s Smarty Hybrid CMY color mixing moving head, supplied by Dushow, to realize the look.

 

“I wanted to create a panoramic light design, horizontal and low,” LeBrun explains, “so I designed walls of light with the idea of only using it on the stage. The idea was to forget about light coming from the top.” LightLab used 120 of the compact fixtures in the design. The fixtures were placed in six frames (2.8 m x 2.65 m), 20 Smartys per frame, with three frames arranged in a diagonal on each side of the stage, visually complementing each side of the DJ booth. Each frame was mounted on rollers.

 

The rest of the lighting rig included ten Elation Proteus Hybrid moving heads, which were floor positioned and used for back lighting, along with five LED strobes. Other spots were used for front lighting and back light with additional spots incorporated from each host festival lighting kit. Lighting operator for the Nekfeu summer tour, Fabrice Pinsard, was the first to work with the Elation Smarty Hybrid on a tour.
