Blinding show from Razorlight and Specialz*
Razorlight’s recent tour and forthcoming summer shows can be already construed as absolute ‘blinders’.
Lighting designer Max Conwell came up staging concept which required eight, 2m by 8m drop, DMX controlled Venetian blinds, behind which were flown eight tracking video screens. Additionally the Venetian’s 80mm wide louvres had a finish that took colour well and allowed for both colour effects and projection to used on the closed louvre slats which gave a variety of very different and powerful looks.
Conwell also commissioned a 5ft high 24ft long ‘RAZORLIGHT’ sign with 800 bulbs which was flown from the front truss. Not wanting the branding to be overpowering, the sign was made out of polycarbonate and when not lit either with its integral lighting or the main show lighting, blended into the rest of the set seamlessly.
Max Conwell commented: “Specialz is the first call to make for me when I need bespoke and unusual fixtures and scenic elements. I am always safe in the knowledge that the finished construction is exactly as promised. As a designer I am always judged both on the suppliers I use and on the quality of the finished design and I always feel assured by Dave and Keith’s professionalism and experience. There really is no-one around who offers a similar service or who produces the same quality.”
Kumar Kamalagharan, tour manager for Razorlight quipped: '' With the help of Specialz, we really have pulled a blind(er) on this tour!”
