"We chose to use the ZCL 360i because we needed a stand-out lighting element that had a variety of effects and one that could respond to the demanding cadence structure of the song's tempo," said Michael Keeling, vice president of entertainment at SEIBO LLC, a leading production and event company based in Palos Verdes, California.
"For those that know my design work, I like to have an illumination source that provides a simple but dominate statement," Keeling adds. "The ZCL 360i was that highlight that I was looking for to support the balance of the visual design."
SEIBO served as line producers and general contractors for the show and supplied the fixtures through sub-contractor BML-Blackbird Theatrical Services. Keeling served as creative producer/production designer on the show with programming done by Brian Spett.
The ZCL 360i is a single beam moving effect with 4° to 44° zoom in Elation's new ZCL Series of high-output ACL-type LED effect lights.
Keeling used 36 of the units for the performance, displayed in vertical array columns. "It was the real-time on-demand responsive and reset function to the unit's pan and tilt features that I was very impressed with for this application," he said. "It's a great unit and I will use it again in the future."
