Cody Lisle chooses Chauvet fixtures for Gem and Jam Festival

The Gem and Jam Festival took place over three days at the Pima County Fairgrounds, Arizona, in a peaceful setting that included campsites and art displays. Part of the Tucson Gem Mineral and Fossil Showcase, the festival also mesmerized with some glittering displays of gemstone artwork. Reinforcing this theme its stages had names like Emerald, Onyx and Quartz.

Cody Lisle designed the sets and did the programming for the main stage. He worked alongside guest LDs like Tiberius Benson, who came with STS9, and Chandler Thomann, working for Sunsquabi. While Lisle took care of things on the Emerald main stage, the LIT Lighting team helped to ensure that the same mellow mood permeated the entire festival. Rodger Pugh worked the Onyx Stage indoors, supported by visuals from Dakota Gidley, while Jack Watson ran the Quartz Stage.

LIT Lighting supplied a collection of more than 150 Chauvet Professional fixtures, including 18 Maverick MK2 Spot fixtures and six Strike 1 units, along with 24 Rogue R2 Washes, and 16 Rogue R3 Beams on the Emerald Stage, four Rogue R2 Washes on the Onyx Stage, and 18 Épix Strip Tours as well as 18 Rogue Outcast 1 Beams, four Rouge R2 Spots and four Rogue R2 Washes on the Quartz Stage.

The team also used 15 Well Pad battery powered units, 24 Colordash Par Hex 12 IP fixtures for site lighting. Splashing mesmerizing colors throughout the festival grounds created a wonderland atmosphere that extended the spirit of Gem and Jam beyond the stages. “Pretty much our entire inventory of Chauvet Professional gear was out that weekend”, says Chris Brodman of LIT, noting that his company also had fixtures at the Cali Vibes Festival in Long Beach, CA, at the same time.

On the festival’s main stage, Lisle used a good share of these fixtures. Flown on three rows of overhead truss and positioned on vertical structures that flanked the center-stage video wall, his Maverick and Rogue fixtures were used to create crossing patterns, aerial effects and textured gobos. The Strike 1 units, arranged in a straight row across downstage truss on the main stage, lit the crowd.
