The Band Camino with Chauvet at Bonnaroo

Nashville-based indie/rock trio The Band Camino made their first appearance at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival this June. Lighting designers Tyler Shapard and Dayne deHaven, of the newly formed District 5 studio, ensured that their pre-sunset show packed a punch by minimizing moving fixtures, and focusing on brightness.

“We designed this rig for a daylight/dusk festival spot specifically”, says deHaven. “We wanted to have a look that could punch through even in bright sunlight.” The two designers accomplished this with the help of a rig anchored by Chauvet Professional Strike Saber and Color Strike M fixtures supplied by 4Wall Entertainment.

Arranged across the entire upstage deck in a vertical configuration, the 66 Strike Sabers created a dynamic wall of light behind the band. Working with lighting and video director Alec Molinaro, Shapard and deHaven pixel mapped the linear fixtures to create a series of effects and chase sequences that moved in sync with the music.

Framing the Strike Sabers along their top and bottom borders were horizontal rows of Color Strike M fixtures. Drawing on the pixel mappable RGB face of these fixtures, the designers added an array of bright colors to their backline display, complementing the white-amber light of the linear units. At other points in the show, Shapard and DeHaven turned up the motorized strobe’s white LED tubes to create blinder effects and audience lighting.
