Johnny Orlando at WE Day
The WE Day tour, staged by Canada-based We
Charity, brings young people together and cele-
brates the actions they have taken towards chang-
ing the world. The Toronto show at Scotiabank
Arena featured Jessie Reyez, Arkells, Johnny Orlan-
do, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jack & Jack, Margaret
Trudeau, and more. Lighting designer and co-owner
of Electric Aura Project Inc., Jason McKinnon,
used Follow-Me’s Remote Follow-Spot Control
software for the show. “Not only does this product
keep the follow-spot operators on the ground, but
it also provides them with the freedom they need
to take breaks,” says McKinnon. “That covers the lo-
gistics, but the real advantage is with the creative
side. I can put a light almost anywhere from any an-
gle and height and track someone with it.”
