Chauvet fixtures installed at First Baptist Church Pensacola

In addition to its Sunday services, First Baptist Church Pensacola (Florida) offers a host of events, from women’s conferences and mid-week learning sessions, to sports activities for people of all ages.

Last year, the AVL system in their contemporary worship space, Chipley Hall, was starting to become outdated, so the church’s leadership asked Greg Klimetz of Relevant AV Solutions to come up with an upgrade plan.

Klimetz handled all of the rigging and audio himself, but for the lighting part of the project he turned to his friend Craig Rutherford, who then developed a design that featured 60 Chauvet Professional fixtures, supplied by Relevant AV Solutions.

Key to accenting the stage’s contours was Rutherford’s positioning of 18 Colorado 72 Batten Tour fixtures along the upstage edge and on the stage left and right curves.  Used primarily as cyc lights, the Colorado units were pointed upward toward the wall.

Rutherford’s design called for moving fixtures to be positioned upstage so they could provide dramatic backlighting, aerials, textured looks and specials. The most prevalent moving fixture on the backstage truss is the Rogue R1 Wash. Rutherford hung twelve of these units along the truss structure, from where they are used for  aerials and backlighting, in addition to painting the stage with color.

Joining the washes on the upstage truss are eight Rogue R2X Spot fixtures. The church draws on the gobo morphing capabilities of these 300 W LED spot units to create textured looks.

Rutherford also specified 14 Ovation E-910FC ellipsoidal fixtures for the downstage truss. These units serve as the primary key light on stage. Completing the downstage arrangement of fixtures are six Colorado 1-Quad Zoom VW fixtures. These units help fill in the far downstage edges to eliminate shadows.
