The Claypaky A.leda B Eye K20s were most impressive and stole the show with stunning features. They are top performance wash lights, breathtaking beam lights, and spectacular, original visual effects generators. Their versatility makes them an extremely interesting creative tool for lighting designers.
"I used the A.leda B Eye K20 massively. Let's say they played one of the leading roles in the effects during the show," says the designer.
The classic requirements of a lighting plot were borne in mind, including the kinds of lights to choose on the basis of the primary roles they have to play, such as key lights for front-lighting the leading players on the stage and lighting the audience, and diffuse lighting, ambience lighting and tracers. "In this project, I wanted lights which could ensure high performance on the effects front, so I went for Claypaky A.leda B Eye K20s to have units that would actually offer several possibilities.
"They have an electronic array for creating very spectacular dynamic visual effects, which is the reason for the success of this light. However, the array must be understood and used with moderation. As all my colleagues that use A.leda B Eye K20s know, you can even get lost in the hundreds of effects available."
Mamo Pozzoli generated visual effects with movements with the A.leda B Eye K20s that were entirely consistent with the changes generated by the videos at the same time, precisely in order to represent a single world of colours, movements and shapes. This generally very complex operation succeeded particularly well thanks to the 24 B Eye K20s Mamo could control.
"Their most classic arrangement is as back-lighting. There were six lights at the back of the stage. However I used some of the lights on a slope in the wings. Although they were at the sides, I often used them as key lights and front lights on the artists who were in that particular part of the slope (dancers and often Emma herself)."
