MJ lights up Cashbuild Hall of Fame Awards
- Details
The annual Cashbuild Hall of Fame Awards were hosted at the Maslow Hotel in Sandton to recognise the top performers among its 4,700 employees based at stores in South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana, Swaziland, Malawi and Zambia.
Commissioned by Trace Elements, MJ Event Gear has provided the full technical for the event since 2010. MJ’s Theo Rood ensured the event, which catered for just over 200 guests, was stage manager for the awards. He relied on Robe moving lights, programmed by LD Gary Sam on a grandMA2 light, to create the fire and ice theme that lit the ballroom.
Gary Sam said: “It’s always such a pleasure to work with the MJ team. Equipment-wise, the grandMA2 light worked well for me as I enjoy the MA platform. A lot of the time, when it comes to lighting, I try and balance complimenting shades of colour, and then sometimes I go the complete opposite with things that don’t match for effect. The Robe fixtures did their job!”
The lighting rig comprised of 24 Robe LEDBeam 100, 18 Robin 600 LEDWash, eight Robe MMX Spots, 24 Thomas PixelPar, 24 Longman ColorMe, four Claypaky Sharpy and a Le Maitre MVS Hazer. Prolyte X30V truss was used for totems and goal posts.
MJ also made use of the professional services of AV Systems who supplied the LED screens and Just Sets for the stage and steps.
