Radio City Christmas Spectacular
Lighting Designer: David Agress
Asst. Lighting Designer: Mike Jones
Programmer: Paul Turner, Hillary Knox, Steve Garner
Venue: Multiple
Problem:
Wanted to change the show's 95 point focus map to XYZ programming on the Hog II, which would have taken forever in an actual venue. Needed to bring a new assistant LD and a new programmer up to speed on the show. Needed to update programming for a number of new venues.
Solution:
Come into Prelite. The ability to see from anywhere on stage or in the house made it much easier to be incredibly precise with the XYZ programming. The new Asst. LD and new programmer could come in, and, sitting beside the LD, see how the show was put together, hear why certain choices had been made, and run the actual cues, which were running a virtual version of the show alongside a picture-in-picture video of the previous year's show.
