One of the most significant uses of Clay Paky lights at this year's IAA was at the Mercedes-Benz stand, but Lightpower equipment was used to illuminate the cars of several other manufacturers at the show.
Rgb gmbh studio für lichtgestaltung und technische konzeption dealt with the lighting design and rig programming, on behalf of Daimler AG, for the Mercedes-Benz Media Night and the Mercedes-Benz and Smart press conference. Both events were held at the Mercedes-Benz stand in the Frankfurt Festhalle.
One of the highlights this year was the world premiere of the S-Class Cabriolet and C-Class Coupé. Andree Verleger's agency abc-eventproduction designed the set for the presentation of the IAA Concept prototype, in conjunction with Cologne-based OSK Oliver Schrott Kommunikation.
The lights used for this event, organized by the company from Stuttgart, included 36 Clay Paky Mythos units. Four grandMA2 full-size consoles and two grandMA2 fader wings were used for the programming.
Rgb gmbh's CEO, Dirk Feuerstein, was lighting manager, assisted by Lucas Conradi. The lighting operators were Thomas Krautscheid and Marcus Krömer, and Sound & Light Veranstaltungstechnik GmbH provided the lighting and rigging equipment. The lighting for the show and events on the opening days was designed by TLD Planungsgruppe.
