PRG Lights The Source Hip-Hop Music Awards in Miami
Production Resource Group (PRG) helped lighting designer Tom Kenny "bring down the house" in Miami at the only awards show geared towards Hip-Hop music. With a resume that includes designs for The Who, Santana, David Bowie, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Lopez, as well as numerous award shows, Kenny is well-known for his high profile projects.
"I wanted to fill the venue with lights from every angle without putting together a large rig," explained Kenny. "I collaborated with Tom McPhillips to come up with a design consisting mainly of MAC 2Ks over the stage and Studio Colors and Spots over the audience."
Kenny has been a PRG client for the past 14 years. For this event, his lighting package included 48 High End Studio Colors, 50 High End Studio Beams, 40 Martin MAC 2k wash lights, 32 Martin MAC 2k profiles, two ETC Insight IIx consoles, four Whole Hog II consoles and multiple Source 4 PARs, Lekos and dimmers.
"It was an unbelievably great experience working with Gary Mass, Nick Freed and the rest of the crew at PRG, especially now that they've opened an office in Miami," commented Kenny. "Their equipment is always prepped well and in top shape, and their customer service is fantastic."
"We love working on these kinds of shows, especially in the highly charged atmosphere of Miami," stated Gary Mass, PRG's account executive for the show. "With the opening of our new service office in south Florida, we're better able to support shows there than ever before."
