At this year’s Belgian summer beach festival “2 Meisjes op het Strand,” Michiel Milbou and his team at Never Fear Shadows designed a stage and lighting design that featured 410 CHAUVET Professional ÉPIX Strip IP fixtures, all supplied by Phlippo Productions.
Never Fear Shadows used an ÉPIX Strip IP structure as a visual alternative at the festival.
“The long and thin batten shapes of the ÉPIX fixtures functioned as ideal building blocks for the structure whilst simultaneously doubling as the lighting sources,” said Milbou. “As a result, we were able to fulfill all practical criteria whilst offering spectators a visually engaging experience. The intense brightness and pixel mappable effects of the fixtures allowed us to fulfill VTM’s wish to create a visually impressive installation – which looked just as good on television as it did live. What’s more, the excellent brightness ensured that we were able to use all of the fixture’s pixel mapping features during daylight hours too.”
Because the festival takes place outside, the Never Fear Shadows team chose the ÉPIX fixtures for their IP outdoor-rated construction that allows them to function in all types of weather.
“In addition to their excellent brightness and pixel mapping capabilities, we chose the ÉPIX fixtures specifically for their ability to perform outdoors,”Milbou added. “Although the weather over the two days wasn’t as catastrophic as forecasted, it was nevertheless great to have peace of mind and the assurance of knowing that we would be ok if it did rain.”
