Soft-LED drapery flies high on Rocky Balboa

Details: 14 March 2016

USA - Directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa opened in theatres last december and was released to DVD in March. This new Rocky movie features eight 8' X 33' Main Light Soft-LED dynamic drapes above the ring in the fight scenes. The draperies and content control system were supplied by Main Light and programmed by Giovanni S. Ciranni for the shoot, which was held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas.

Production designer Franco-Giacomo Carbone said, "I would say that the Soft-LED visually brought the emblematic boxing ring and the Rocky series squarely into the 21st century."
