Impressions on Parade at MTV Italy's TRL Awards 2009
Lighting Designer Giovanni Pinna chose impression and impression XL as key elements for the TRL Awards 2009, staged by MTV Italy at the Piazza Unità di Italia in Trieste. For the first time on Italian TV, impression XLs made their mark at the open air event, where the hottest Italian artists converged for a wonderful evening.
Giovanni Pinna selected 12 impression and eight impression XL fixtures - together with standard video and lighting equipment - all supplied by Milan based MMS.
"I really love the impression's rich colours, the colour mixing and the beam quality," he said. "I believe this to be the only professional moving head LED at present ... and they look beautiful on TV." He added, "We had two impression XL at front-of-house shooting a blue front light at a 45 meters distance - but we had to dim them to 50% for the cameras!"
The impressions were used as wash lights, as well as for show and peripheral effects. They are highly efficient when it comes to power consumption - which is especially vital for outdoor shows and events where mobile generators are used, as well as being advantageous in supporting the Trieste environment.
As one of the riggers said: "It is a real pleasure to handle the impressions - the output per kilo is amazing."
GLP's Harry De Lon and Kasper Gissel were present at the impression debut in Italian TV.
