Double Knight of Illumination winner, Will Potts designed the visual element of the show, with assistance from lighting director Adam Power. Will said, "Designing a rig which fits into numerous venues was the main consideration for this project. I chose to leave the physical design work flexible and in Adam's hands for the shows. He knows what each fixture has to achieve, so it's up to him to use the spaces and characteristics of each venue to the design's advantage. Having such a flexible approach is the most economical way of scaling the show up and down."

Will and Adam knew exactly what they wanted to achieve with the design, and were open to discussion on which products and process

Lighting director Dave Evans has used plenty of strong colours to complement the set with high contrasts and clean lines to keep the viewer free from distraction and focussed on the discussion.

The LED Creative Alpha 60 RGB system, paired with the company's silent running BIT1200 controllers, has been cleverly combined with the clean architectural lines of the set pieces, to add intense illumination along its edging to provide a modernistic neon glow.

Flexibility is at the heart of the design as the show will broadcast from a selection of studios around the London area, with the layout changing weekly. The set and the lighting therefore need to be

As the project went on, and without knowing how he would implement the plan, Marcelle had an idea. 'What if he could create something w

Okulus, which has worked for the likes of Zac Brown Band, Chvrches and Bring Me The Horizon, specified 20 of the moving head fixtures from leading UK rental operation Siyan Ltd.

"We wanted a spot fixture that was not only bright, but one that would also complement the subtler songs in the set," says Oliver. "Thanks to the Scenius Spot's strong output we could use the gobos with dark, moody colours without having to reduce the rest of the rig's intensity to make them prominent. Not only that, the white is leagues ahead of any other fixture on the market."
