The company produces a host of different 'Grand' branded TV programmes including all the popular music television shows in the region including The Fantastic Show, People Pie and Grand Stars which are broadcast on the First Serbian TV channel, on OBN in Bosnia & Hertzegovina and Kanal 5 in Macedonia.
Grand Production also manages some of the best known Balkan pop and folk artists. They will often feature on their music programmes which can be an important gateway to stardom. The company's busy schedule also includes other music based showcases like Grand Festival.
This latest installation of Pointes is to support the production of a new series of Grand Stars and the units were once again specified by Grand Production's main lighting designer Goran Kravic and DoP Nenad Miskovic.
It follows highly successful Robe installations in Studios 5 and 7 of the same complex.
The cameras move 360 degrees around Studio 1, so the lighting is designed with this spatial concept in mind, and the new Pointes are helping to make this latest series look great both on camera and for the live studio audiences.
In terms of features and functionality, Goran is impressed with the speed of the Pointe's pan and tilt and the "Excellent" six and eight-facet prisms which can be combined with gobos and haze to "Create gorgeous effects".
