A hard rock band called Alisa, from Russia, recently released their 21st studio album Circus. This album was launched at the Palace of Sport in St. Petersburg. It effectively mimicked a circus tent experience on stage.
The event attracted 8 000 fans to this special concert, and the scenic dynamic had to be extraordinaire. For their stage lighting set, the design crew, consisting of lighting designer Andrej Lukashov, production manager Anton Gerasimov and performance designer Aljiona Morozova, chose the LB-100 LED balls from SGM as their lighting centrepiece.
Each LB-100 string is 850 mm long and composed of seven RGB LED balls with a pixel pitch of 120 mm. Rental company Euroshow supplied the 864 strings of LB-100, creating a large-scale graphic LED curtain comprising 6 048 LED balls, and this was run off 18 drivers.
“With the ability to control the lighting effects, we could create saturated and bright colours for a vibrant graphic element of the show,’ comments Alexandr Blednykh, director of Euroshow. System engineer and console operator Alex Evstifeev deployed the principles of pixel mapping via DMX.
“Many people and colleagues were impressed by the implementation of the equipment, particularly the LB-100, which made it possible to produce such beautiful scenery and mid-air dynamic effects,’ notes Alexandr.
