Hairston Touring Production lights up Rhett & Link with Chauvet

The design team of Rebecca and Bryan Hairston - owners of Hairston Touring Productions - delivered the lighting design for comedic musicians Rhett & Link when they stopped at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans this fall. Helping them were a group of Chauvet Professional Maverick, Rogue and Ovation fixtures supplied by See-Hear Productions.

The Hairstons’ rig featured 20 Maverick MK2 Spot fixtures, ten Rogue R2 Wash units, and six Ovation 910-FC ellipsoidals. They flew 12 of the Maverick units, along with the ten Rogue fixtures and four of the Ovation ellipsoidals, on overhead truss.

Drawing on the six position rotating gobo wheel of the Maverick MK2 Spot, they used the 440 W LED moving fixture to create mood-setting patterns on stage. At other points in the show, they served up concert-style looks.

Complimenting the Maverick units was the color wash from the Rogue R2 fixtures. Also contributing color to the stage, in addition to key lighting the artists, were the RGBA-Lime Ovation ellipsoidals. The remaining eight MK2 Spot fixtures and two Ovation 910-FC units were placed on deck, adding further depth to the middle of the stage.

With tight closeups of Rhett & Link showcased on a large split screen video, it was important for the lighting to carve out the duo visually when they were in front of this wall. The Hairstons used the Ovation 910-FCs to shape the direct environment, establishing front and back specials via profiles on the performers. The Rogue fixtures were used for front and back washes and to smooth out any unwanted shadowing.
