Film and Touring with Utopium

Utopium Lighting Ltd. were amongst the ‘stars’ at this year's BAFTAs in Leicester Square. Dave Bryant and West Design worked with Utopium for the lighting and presentation at the Odeon Cinema in London’s West End. The lighting kit, including a selection of Dominators and Studio Due CS4 Spot Lines was installed over the preceding four days.

And whilst the stars were at Leicester Square, Utopium Lighting were busy at Grosvenor House adding the final touches to the after-show party. Produced by AD Events the dinner and party added the glitzy finale to a long week in the movies.

Over this period Utopium Lighting Ltd. were also lighting the film premieres for ‘Shall We Dance’, ’Bee Cool’, ‘Kingdom of Heaven’, ‘Robot’ and most impressively the Will Smith movie ‘Hitch’.

AD Events chose Utopium to rig and light for ‘Hitch’ three events in one day. In the morning it was Manchester at The Print Works for the Red Carpet Event. By lunch time Mr.Smth was in Birmingham – on a mobile stage complete with lighting rig in Broad St at the UGC cinema. The day ended in London with Utopium’s custom ground support towers. Each of the three systems used a combination of X.spot Extremes, Cyber Turbos, Studio Beams and 100 Pixelines.

On the touring market Utopium have been busy with ‘Secret Machine’ (LD Ricardo Lorenzini) and ‘Goldie Looking Chain’ (LD Chris Bushell) with SGM Palcos and Studio Due CS4 Spot Lines.

Metropolis Music & Massive Attack asked Utopium Lighting to service the Tsunami Appeal Event that stared, Portishead, Robert Plant and Coral. Tony Austin and Andy Mountain (LDs) had Utopium Lighting Pixelines for the Webcast – in addition to the stage lighting equipment.

ACP also used Utopium to light their shows for Radio 2 at the Mermaid Theatre for Alison Moyet, Michael Buble & Rick Astley.
