The Money Drop Robe and Anolis help to light “The Money Drop” which is soon to be aired on the African continent.
Recorded in Kew Studios in Johannesburg a new version of Endemol’s high-tension TV game show “The Money Drop” is soon to be aired on the African continent. The sets creator is Wayne Sproule from Pendragon Dezign and is based on Endemol’s brief. Built by Dream Sets with lighting supplied by leading SA rental company Blond Productions who commissioned Julio Costa and Peter Furstenburg to
develop the bespoke software and systems required for the game play.
Centurion based Blond Productions were involved right from the outset
through their close working relationship with Endemol South
Africa. Endemol Money Drop Series 52
Producer Josh Feldman comments, “This show is all about lighting and visuals and so it was important that we chose the best suppliers to work with us on it. Blond have done an excellent job again”
Robe moving lights, including the new ROBIN LEDBeam 100s, MMX Spots and 600E Beams plus ColorSpot 250E ATs, ColorSpot 700E ATs and 575 XT Scans were used. The fixtures were a major element of this impressive lighting design by Peter Reick, while Anolis ArcLink optic 4 LED strips were used to illuminate key parts of the set. Twelve Robe MMX Spots were positioned at the back of the set, used for powerful beam light effects shooting forward and through the main playing areas. Twelve ROBIN 600E Beams were rigged on trusses running down each side of the studio for general set coverage, together with the twelve ColorSpot 700E ATs on the front truss. The requirement was for the lighting to be smooth, streamlined and slick for the show’s different sections. The real challenge was fitting the double decker set
into a compact studio space and the lighting thus creating the appearance of an increased height and depth. It was vital that texturing, depth and definition could be added to the set, so Peter Reick and Blond’s MD Christiaan Ballot met with Duncan Riley from Robe’s South African distributors DWR to identify which fixtures might combine best with the set design.
With the set and lighting installed for a month in the studios, the opportunity and the budget were available to ensure that the very best quality solutions were found to all the visual and live staging challenges.
