Sightline Productions chooses Astera

Sightline Productions is a New South Wales-based AV and rental company specialising in delivering technical production values to corporate and B2B clients across Australia, New Zealand and further afield with a variety of international work. Sightline founding directors Adriano Candeloro and Joe Murray have been using solutions from the Astera product range for some time and intend to continue doing so.

They first started hearing about the brand a few years back when the neon lighting look was very popular in Australia. The first Astera products to arrive at Sightline were AX1 PixelTubes that joined the inventory in 2019, a figure that’s now jumped to over fifty fixtures. In addition to these, they also have AX2 LED battens, AX3 LiteDrops, AX5 TriplePARs, AX9 PowerPARs, as well as the two-metre Hyperion Tubes and the half-metre Helios Tubes, totalling over 200 Astera battery-powered LED products.

These have been in use for all types of event scenarios and the continuing commitment has recently seen two cases (sixteen total) of AX3 LightDrops added to stock - joining eighty domes for the AX5s which can be used as set enhancements. They are now looking at Astera’s Fresnel series.

Sightline’s biggest project to date using Astera involved over 200 AX1 tubes that lined an interactive entrance tunnel to an event for software and graphics brand Canva, at The Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, Technically Directed by Sightline’s Kim Louey-Gung. AX1 tubes were also used for the Netflix season launch of the newest “Stranger Things” series where they - together with other Astera fixtures - help to create an “upside down world”.

AX3s were recently used on a corporate event fitted to the top of a set piece due to their size, and they are regularly dropped into stage, while the AX5s and AX9s are frequently used for set and key lighting on stage and in studios. Mostly the Sightline crew will use the Astera App on an iPad for controlling the fixtures. On average, Sightline will supply equipment to around thirty projects a month of different sizes, often including the lighting design.
