Arf & Yes runs 148 universe show for Juhuasuan with ChamSys MagicQ MQ500 Stadium

Arf & Yes from Ghent, Belgium, created the lighting design for Hangzhou, China-based JSTV’s 99 Juhuasuan Shopping Day Show. Hovering over the 40-meter wide by 45-meter deep stage, the show transfixed the audience at this happening by directing colorful beams of light to create a matrix of effects that was balanced against a captivating pixel wall.

Featuring 1,533 moving heads, 800 RGBW scenic lights, the show involved 148 universes and 49,515 parameters. This design was controlled by four ChamSys MagicQ MQ500 Stadium consoles without the need for any distribution nodes. The entire show was programmed on-site in a matter of days.

“There were three moving screens, two moving risers, and two catwalk elevators to give you an idea of the show’s size,” says lighting designer Timothy De Mets from Arf & Yes. “We worked with four consoles on the same network on the same show.”

The triangular configuration of lights on three levels positioned over the stage created a sense of depth. A highlight of the design was the 26-meter by 10-meter pixel wall that the Arf & Yes team created with the inbuilt MagicQ Pixel Mapper. “I used the Pixel Mapper with many layers with the addition of extra normal FX on the duplicated heads,” explains De Mets.
