Meeting de Paris Indoor Gets Illuminated by CHAUVET Professional

The Accor Hotel hosted the 2017 Meeting de Paris Indoor, a one-day track and field event with some of France’s top Olympic athletes, using CHAUVET Professional fixtures supplied by Algam. 

Franck Sono created visuals for the event with 15 Maverick Hybrids, 16 Rogue R1 FX-Bs, 15 R1 Beams, and 18 Nexus 5×5 fixtures.

A matrix of Nexus 5×5 fixtures from Algam and two rows of Rogue R1 FX-B fixtures lining the red carpet illuminated the main podium.

“As the podium was particularly crucial to the overall visual concept of the event, it was decided upon a combination of fixtures to provide interesting contrast and energy,” commented David Deforge, chief of production at Algam. “The resulting synergy between the Rogue R1 FX-B and the Nexus fixtures looked spectacular.”

The Nexus fixtures created the visual backdrop of the podium during the award ceremony. The Maverick MK1 Hybrid and Rogue R1 Beam fixtures were used for aerial effects during different events, such as the 60-meter sprint, hurdles, and pole vault.

“We wanted to achieve pulsating looks throughout the stadium to provide accentuation to key moments on the track,” said Deforge. “With the beam, spot and wash combination of the Maverick and Rogue fixtures, we were able to create some extremely strong looks to accompany the events.”

The Maverick MK1 Hybrid fixtures were placed behind the six starting blocks, as well as throughout the upper tier of the stadium, offering multi-facet prisms, versatile gobo wheels, and excellent zoom. The Rogue R1 Beams offered side lighting and further aerial effects to complement the Maverick fixtures.
