“Wild Boys” are Back with grandma

After becoming famous in the eighties, 'Duran Duran' is back! In the second half of September they performed a gig in Warsaw, Poland. Lighting designer, operator and programmer for the concert was Pawel Pajak. To control his rig he specified one grandMA full-size, one grandMA light, grandMA onPC with NSP and grandMA 3D.

“I decided to use the grandMA control and pre-programming system because it always gives me an opportunity to save time at the venue,” states Pajak. “I’ve used grandMA 3D to set-up the stage positions for the lights and then to program all the necessary presets, effects and scenes. Then I create the whole lighting for each song. In this project my co-programmer, Tomasz Szwelicki, and I used the ‘world function’ to work separate on two consoles. This option is very useful because it saves a lot of time. This was an advantage because I had only one rehearsal with the band. There was no time during this to think about programming presets, positions, effects etc. The versatility and possibility of using the network connections together with the NSP and grandMA 3D software were just great.”
