Mason Felps turns to Chauvet for Rock The South festival

About ten years ago, Cullman, Alabama native Mason Felps got the chance to work his first major festival when he joined the crew at Rock The South. This August, he returned to his northern Alabama hometown as the festival’s production manager and lighting designer.

Felps and the production team used a lighting rig supplied by Bandit Lites that featured 32 Chauvet Professional Rogue R2X Wash fixtures. “We had a 60’ by 40’ stage with a steel roof”, he says. Felps, who earlier this summer toured with Alan Jackson, spread his Rogue R2X Wash fixtures on either of the performing artists, a group that included Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Nelly, Ashley McBryde and The Marshal Tucker Band.

This arrangement allowed him to surround the artists in light, enveloping them in a glow that stood up against the giant video wall, while also pulling attention to the center of the stage. Sometimes that glow was created with white light, while at others it was done in various colors.

At other points in the show, the Rogue R2X Washes were directed out at the audience to present visual patterns. The fixtures’ zoom range allowed Felps and board operator Chris Noll from the Bandit Lites to vary the areas that they covered in light.
