Corona: Chauvet fixtures utilized for Bethany Church livestreaming

Bethany Church of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is livestreaming four virtual services every week. Chauvet Professional Rogue fixtures in the church’s rig are used to convey a range of looks for those online services.

In a time of lockdowns, the church is taking a more basic approach to visuals. This is even reflected in the camera angles used in the livestream. Not shying away from revealing empty spaces in the large church, and with minimal scenic elements, the videos convey a pure, straightforward image.

At one recent Sunday service, the livestream rig featured 10 Rogue R2X Wash and 10 Rogue R2X VW fixtures. The R2X Wash units were positioned on mid-stage truss and used to create backlight that filled the space behind the band in the absence of scenic elements, while the R2X VW fixtures were called upon to light the scrim above the band and to provide a soft key light.

Also being proven during this period is the resiliency of Bethany Church and the cohesiveness of its team members. “I like the saying ‘it takes a village,’” says Ryan Rider, Central Lighting Director at Bethany. “Our Experience Director Dustin West, Camera Director Taylor Coleman, Lead Audio Engineer Brian Edwards and the whole team come together to support the message of Pastor Jonathan. It is like a family here.”
