Compulite Vector on ‘The Dome 31’
A Compulite Vector console has recently been used on the RTL television production of The Dome 31.
Filmed on 3rd September at the Frankenhalle in Nuremberg, the three-hour mega show, which has run four times a year since 1997, featured over 30 of the top German up-and-coming pop stars. The line up included UK groups Faithless and Blazin' Squad and US band Maroon 5. With a stage of 450m2 and an audience of 10,000, the show’s producers wanted the best in lighting as well as the best performers, so lighting designer Dave Davey was called on to ensure it would be the most spectacular yet.
With an extremely hectic schedule, Davey recruited Nigel Catmur as show lighting director, Ross Williams as Catalyst operator, Russell Grubiak to run the audience lights and Bill Peachment to run all the moving lights on his Compulite Vector system.
The moving light rig consisted of 33 Martin MAC2000s, 64 Martin MAC550s, 32 Martin MAC600s, 16 High End Studio Beam PCs and 11 Studio Due City Colors.
Peachment commented: “The Vector was fantastic on the show, running nearly 170 spots over 7 full DMX streams with 30 live bands; I could not have achieved so much in so little time on any other console. As always, Stagetec Distribution were on hand in the unlikely event that any support was required.”
