The 2010 production was lit by Mark Hammer with Bytecraft supplying all of the lighting and crew. The whole floor of the entertainment centre is used for the production, so Hammer needed a lighting system that was versatile and delivered many different looks. A total of 37 VL3000 Profile and 37 VL3500 Wash helped him to do just that.
"The VL3000 Profiles are almost like the industry standard at the moment," comments Hammer. "They're very bright, have a great range of gobos and some great onboard effects. For a production like Star Struck they were ideal as they could give me different looks on the floor. Also, with the VL3000 Profile you can get a good, hard edge to pick out certain areas or items."
Hammer was equally impressed by the performance of the VL3500 Washes which he describes as extremely powerful. "I think they are the most powerful wash light I've ever used on one of these types of event," he adds. "They have great colours - as does the VL3000 - with the mixed colours and the colour wheels delivering fantastic results. Coverage, intensity and colour - it's all there."
