Corona: Heart-shaped Robe lighting rig for #LightItInRed livestream event

Dan Ridd, Steven Haynes and a team from Clearsound Productions in Shipston on Stour, UK, marked the culmination of a week of #LightItInRed “heart” actions around the country with a livestream broadcast featuring mixmaster DJ Benji surrounded by a heart-shaped lighting rig designed by Haynes and featuring Robe moving lights.

With overall direction by Dan Ridd and camera and humour direction by Andy Cox, the multi-camera broadcast included two drone feeds plus assorted visual highlights from the last year of #LightItInRed campaigns. These have focused on keeping the entertainment, production, and performance industry visible and relevant during the pandemic and consequent shut down.

Working alongside Steven Haynes on lighting were two fellow Rose Bruford College students, Sam Jones, who programmed and operated the GrandMA console running the lighting, and technician Daniel Bow, who were joined by George O’Connor of Dragonfly Lighting in Banbury. Also assisting the Clearsound livestream on the night were drone pilot Danny Gibbs and Matt “Toff” Roff.

Seventeen Robe Spiiders were at the heart of the matter, set up in the yard in front of the Clearsound warehouse. The Spiiders marked the outline of the heart contour, with the intervening spaces filled by LED battens and the DJ console right in the centre. The rig was imagined with all the different camera angles in mind, with specific attention paid to the overheads.

Surrounding the heart was an outfield of beam lights made up of 16 x Robe LEDBeam 150s and 12 x MegaPointes, with some LED PARs used to light along the side of the warehouse. The Robe fixtures were all available from Clearsound’s stock.
