Rosco Gobo Rotators on the Tour de France
The 95th annual Tour de France - the best known cycle race in the world - was broadcast by the Belgian national broadcaster VRT, which presented their programme, including interviews with cyclists and other TV personalities, every night, in a different location along the route. Rosco brightened up the sets by providing gobos and a Gobo Rotator to animate the images.
Projections of a bike, used in the outside courts during the evening, consisted of one fixed gobo of the bike frame, whereas two Gobo Rotators did the moving wheels. There was also one fixed gobo of a bike, projected without moving parts, which was used for interviews and placed in the hotel that the cyclists stayed in.
The gobos and Gobo Rotators proved a hit with the lighting designer Karel Perneel, who's said: "I used them every day without any problem. I was very pleased with the result."
