Professional Lighting & Production - Summer 2018 | Page 17
Canadian pop singer Carly Rae
Jepsen counted on 14 High
End Systems HEX fixtures for
different stage lighting looks
for her supporting act on Katy
Perry’s Witness: The Tour across
North America. LD Charles
Ford’s challenge was creating a
design in the space – or “iris” –
of Perry’s cat’s eye-shaped set.
Deploying eight HEXs vertically
on trusses and another six on
the floor positioned horizon-
tally, Ford’s flexible rig gave an
illusion of having more fixtures.
With the winter season in full
swing, Ontario production compa-
ny Ottawa Special Events (OSE)
increased the scope of its service
to corporate clients by investing
in 12 of GLP’s large Air Dome
850s supplied by GLP’s Canadian
dis tributor, AVL Media Group.
OSE Production Manager Joel
Deslauriers says the Air Dome 850s
were the only domes that could
accommodate their larger Elation
Platinum HFXs, and they were put
to immediate use during the
Ottawa Winterlude Festival.
