At the 2017 Transmission Festival at the O2 Arena, Prague, Czech Republic, lighting designer Bas Kemper used 24 of Robe’s then just-launched MegaPointe multifunctional moving lights. When he returned to light the 2018 edition of the festival, 60 MegaPointes were prominent on the spec, along with 18 x BMFL Blades, and 20 x LEDBeam 150s, all delivered, together with the rest of the lighting production for this event, by Slovakian rental company Ministry Rental Services in collaboration with RentAll.

 

Bas Kemper also designed the set, working closely with the Dutch VJ Vision Impossible collective on the video design and content production, with additional scenic video deco banners made by Bedrich Vlach of Czech company Promo Production.

 

Kemper had 30 x MegaPointes rigged over the stage, divided into blocks of three, with the other 30 deployed on the deck, also grouped in threes. The lighting design involved mirroring left and right and also, the set, lasers, video, lights and SFX were mirrored 90% top and bottom, hence the 30 x MegaPointes at the top and 30 x MegaPointes lower down, with a similar set up for the 10 LEDBeam 150s top and bottom.

 

The 16 x BMFL Blades lit the set and stage elements, with two fixtures providing front/top key light for the DJs. The video set pieces in the room comprised five large apex-ended video screens flown above the stage and audience area, plus six columns of video hanging out of the roof down the long sides of the auditorium.

 

While the MegaPointes were at the core of the lightshow for this one, Bas Kemper also had a bunch of other lights including beamers and other hybrid fixtures, all pulled from Ministry’s rental stock. Lighting was operated by Zis Ankone and Martijn Deenen utilizing a GrandMA2 platform.

 

The lasers were delivered by Rudo Tucek and his team from Ministry. Ministry also supplied most of the event’s LED screen. The overall technical production was coordinated by United Music Productions.
