Bandit Brings Destination Imagination to Life at Neyland Stadium
Bandit Lites recently lit D2K7, the global finals for a program called Destination ImagiNation. Global Finals is a culmination of the creativity competition year.
It brings team winners representing their state, their province, or their country to compete together at the annual international creative problem solving tournament.
Due to the renovation of the Thompson-Boling Arena, this year the event took place at University of Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, TN. Only two other non-collegiate events have been held at the stadium: Michael Jackson and Kenny Chesney concerts.
Destination ImagiNation Global Finals is the largest creativity competition of its kind held anywhere to-date. The challenge in lighting this event was to try to achieve the same level of intimacy as a full Thompson-Boling Arena (26,000 person capacity) in the significantly larger Neyland Stadium (over 100,000 person capacity).
Veteran lighting designer, Will Twork was able to overcome this challenge with the use
of more equipment and strategic lighting placement. To light the event, Twork used Martin MAC 2000 Profiles, Performances, MAC 500s, 600s, and Martin Atomic 3000 Strobes to light the event. Lighting was controlled by a Whole Hog II console. The rig included 28 pieces of truss. Destination Imagination custom gobos were also included to add an extra spark to the
overall lighting design.
