The Earth Hunter was a collaboration with Jaguar to launch the brand's first AWD concept car, the C-X17. The space was 'found', designed and the creative concept executed, complete with delicate artworks, in less than three weeks.
Showtime Productions were called upon to design and install the gallery lighting, deciding to purchase 36 ETC Source Four Mini fixtures for the project.
"Aesthetically, the client wanted everything to look very neat and minimize anything that could be obstructive," commented Arian Yeganeh, production manager at Showtime. "It's a compact fixture that's bright enough for this type of application. For a 50 watt fixture, they're pretty amazing. We also had 20 ETC Source Four Jnr Zooms for the larger installs such as the concept car. It was a very successful job, not only for us but for the client."
Since this project Arian reports that he has used their Source Four Mini fixtures on three consecutive shows as they are so versatile.
"They're like a normal down light but with far superior optics and framing so that you can cut out whatever you need to cut out," he added. "In fact, ever since we got our Source Four Mini fixtures they haven't been back to the warehouse, going from job to job."
