The Criminal Chaos utilize Chauvet fixtures for music video

Italian rock band The Criminal Chaos recorded their latest music video at Fumasoli Audio & Lights Rental’s studio in northern Italy’s Aosta Valley. Patick Iavarone designed the lightshow for this production.

Making ample use of shadows to add a sense of mystery to the recordings, Iavarone pierced these dark spaces with bright, boldly colored light, often in monochromatic hues. Providing these illuminations were 32 Chauvet Professional Maverick fixtures from Fumasoli’s own inventory.

Iavarone arranged eight Maverick MK2 Wash and four Maverick MK2 Spot fixtures on the upstage truss, and eight washes on the middle truss, as well as four spot units on the downstage truss. He also positioned four of the Maverick washes and an equal number of spots on the floor on the studio’s 10-meter by 7-meter stage. The studio itself measures 20 meters by 10 meters, providing a variety of camera angles for video and livestream sessions.

From these positions, Iavarone lit the five band members from side and back angles to accentuate the haunting atmosphere of the video. “The concept by the designer and the band was to have a lot of back lighting”, says Marco Zaffuto of Fumasoli Audio & Light Rental. “The use of front lighting was kept to a minimum.”

The Mavericks in the rig worked in close concert with a center stage video wall. Back light angles and video images flowed through a continuous series of changes throughout the seven song video.
