Chauvet shines a light on Music Meets Runway
Published: MEA
NIGERIA: A large collection of Chauvet Professional fixtures was used to light the annual Music Meets Runway fashion and music celebration in Lagos. The lighting rig provided for the event by local A/V specialists, Pro-Broadcast Light and Sound (PBLS), included 24 of the manufacturer’s Rogue R1 Beam fixtures, 10 Rogue R1 Spots, and 10 Q-Wash 560Z-LED RGBWA moving wash fixtures.
‘As the official Chauvet distributor in Nigeria, we knew that our own selection of Rogue R1 Beams would be versatile enough to provide looks for both the catwalk and live music accompaniment,’ commented Martins Ekueme, production manager at PBLS. ‘Offsetting the beams on the floor with the beams hanging from the truss, we were able to create a kind of criss-cross scissor effect that really accentuated key parts within the show. The narrow beams were ideal for this. The R1 Spots have amazing gobo effects. We utilised the gobos to their full extent, showering the catwalk and stage with beautiful patterns. The R1 Spots worked perfectly in conjunction with the R1 Beams.’
The event itself is designed to support up-and-coming fashion designers, musicians, models, stylists and make-up artists in Nigeria. ‘Thanks to Chauvet Professional’s fixtures, we were able to award the show with the grandeur and style it deserved. We’re happy that we have played a part, however small, in giving these young designers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shine,’ concluded Mr Ekueme.
