Weather Festival with Chauvet Épix Strip IP

Vincent Rautureau and his team at Giglam SA lit the Weather Festival, which returned to Paris’ La Seine Musicale on Saturday April 27 after a two-year hiatus. Rautureau and his associates endowed the stage with dynamic looks to support the sounds of international EDM and alternative music acts, but their creative vision also extended beyond the immediate performance area.

Seeking to engage the festival crowd on multiple levels, they turned much of the event’s island venue into a panorama with help from 140 Chauvet Professional Épix Strip IP fixtures, supplied by Alive Events Angers.

“We positioned the Épix Strips on all of the festival site’s bridges,” says Andreas Monschauer, Lighting Engineer at Giglam. “This turned the bridges into graphical elements, which really integrated the whole festival into one panorama. Using the strips this way gave our design a whole other dimension.”

Video images and patterns that Giglam pixel mapped on the one-meter RGB LED strip fixtures, using a ChamSys Magic MQ500 console, complemented the Épix Strip IP fixtures. “Displaying the graphic effects on the Épix Strips was very important to creating an overall look that tied the festival together,” says Monschauer.
