some Vari-Lite VL3500 wash luminaires in weatherproof mounts as well as Color Reaches supplied by Vincent Lighting and Philips. Some of the additional equipment was added to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and to City Hall. City Theatrical Yagi antennas were used to send and receive the SHoW DMX signal to various targets.
The show was controlled by a Strand Light Palette located at the University of the Arts and was programmed by Matt Klasmeier from Vincent Lights. Universe 1 ran all the City Hall roof fixtures and Universe 2 ran all the SHoW DMX gear on the Ritz-Carlton and daisy-chained to a serial device that triggered cues in the Light System Manager controlling the facades of the initial fourteen Avenue of the Arts buildings. Jonathan Hoyle of The Lighting Practice said, “It was a blast. It was great working with the students, Vincent Lighting, City Hall, Starlite and everyone involved.” Hoyle went on to say that the only thing he would have changed would be to allow more time for programming.
While designing the show, the team was
able to set light intensity, colour, gobo, shutter cuts, movement and speed, rotation, zoom and finally focus for every cue. Over the course of the 61 minute show thousands of different lighting cues were used to create the effects, each one set to play at an exact second, or fraction of a second, within the embedded music timecode. The automated computerised system was also required to sync with the existing Avenue of the Arts controller. An additional 500 cues were written just to control the lights across those South Broad Street buildings. Over 250 donated man-hours were devoted to writing the programs, which equates to about one hour of programming for every fifteen seconds of the show. Countless hours of work also went into the load-in of all this equipment, designing of the show, coordination with many different building owners, city departments, and other stakeholders to create this unique piece of art.
