Element Labs Versa TUBES Provide Breath-Taking Backdrop at Grammy Awards
The golden anniversary Grammy Awards ceremony (the biggest in the event’s fifty year history) was all about glamour and elegance – both on- and off-stage. The award ceremony’s spectacular stage set-up featured Element Labs’ renowned Versa TUBE HD product, which provided both lighting and video effects as backdrop to the acts and award presentations.
This year’s show, which featured over 1,700 Versa TUBE HD modules, was designed by Bob Dickenson, also known for his work as lighting designer on the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, the 78th Annual Academy Awards and the Athens Olympics Opening Ceremony. Dickenson chose the Versa TUBE HD in order to have a product that could function as both video display and lighting device. The Versa TUBES on the set were consistently white-balanced to accomplish very dynamic lighting effects during performances, while providing video background during the award ceremony presentations.
The Versa TUBE HD offers an eye-catching LED lighting module that brings enormous flexibility and creativity to a designer’s toolbox. By using video signal for control, the Versa TUBE HD delivers countless looks from vibrant patterns to organic flows. A special diffusing lens ensures smooth light output and durability. This cutting-edge product gives designers content creation capabilities with an expansive color range and high light output.
The flexible nature of Element Labs’ Versa TUBE HD makes it a favorite among designers throughout the world for such varied applications as touring stages, illuminating media facades, film and television sets, architectural treatments, and tradeshows.
Nils Thorjussen of Element Labs says: “This is a stunning application of the Versa TUBE HD that really illustrates the product’s versatility and ability to bridge the gap between lighting and video.”
