Flashlight/APR on Ice with Digidesign
The Flashlight/APR Group have again appeared on the world map — handling the production on not one, but three Holiday On Ice world tours simultaneously.
Starting originally in 2005 the Peter Pan On Ice tour first travelled through Europe and South America before doing a second season in Spain. This show, aimed mainly at a younger market, was a relatively straightforward theatre show.
Flashlight/APR then moved on to Bugs Bunny On Ice — a new spectacle for kids, created around a number of Warner Brothers comic personalities, and receiving its world premiére in France. Because of the complexity of the show Flashlight/APR opted for a Digidesign Venue digital mixing environment (with D-Show console) as it would interface directly with Pro Tools and was easy to use. Another important factor was the ease of console set-up and the repeatability of a show which is still touring today.
At the same time the third, and most spectacular of the three shows (named Mystery) was launched. The production featured an enormous amount of Vari-Lite moving head lighting, with custom trussing and an assortment of LED fixtures and much more. The sound equipment maintained the high specification and included a similar Digidesign Venue/D-Show rig, including a Pro Tools rig, to play back the sound effects and backing tracks for this ice skating extravaganza.
