PRG Distribution NA and Clay Paky Light the US Figure Skating Championships
The 2009 US Figure Skating Championships were held January 18-25 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. Held annually since 1914, it is the nation's most prestigious figure skating event, awarding 12 national champions in ladies, men's, pairs and ice dancing on the senior, junior and novice levels. The event was broadcast live all weekend on NBC, with the Ladies Singles events appearing in prime time on Saturday and Sunday nights.
William Brennan, long time lighting designer for NBC Sports with credits from the Los Angeles, Atlanta, Sydney and Salt Lake City Olympics, and most recently hired to consult for the Vancouver Winter Olympics, used 50 Clay Paky 1500 Beams. The lights were specially fitted with frost for this facility and for broadcasting this event.
"The New Clay Paky 1500 watt beam is powerful, predictable, and versatile," explains Brennan. "The fixture will very likely be the new solution for large scale lighting designs specified for special events broadcast special from stadiums and arenas."
