Megan Alksninis chooses Chauvet for ‘Spring Invasion’ tour

On the latest ‘Spring Invasion’ tour, coheadlined by Atreyu and Motionless in White, Megan Alksninis of JDI Productions used a collection of eight Chauvet Professional Rogue R1 FX-B fixtures.

“Programming over thirty songs and creating different looks for each show was a rewarding challenge,” says Alksninis. “I had to approach both bands and each song individually, right down to the color scheme. Motionless in White dips into the horror aspect of metal, which leans toward colors like green, congo, and amber, while Atreyu veers towards solid primary colors with white to make it punchy.”

Alksninis placed her Rogue FX-Bs on six JDI-customized lighting carts on stage, and used them as the primary wash light for the floor package. With five individually controlled heads per fixture with full 360 degree pan/tilt, the addition of these eight fixtures offered the equivalent of 32 moving heads.

The otherworldly design, at times reminiscent of a UFO landing in a field of haze, also relied on two Amhaze Whisper units placed at the bottom of two lighting carts. “For Atreyu, I relied on a light haze to showcase the intensity of the FX-B beams,” says Alksninis. “For Motionless in White I increased the haze to create more of a fog effect.”
