Berret Goes Rogue At The Aiken Bluegrass Festival

Lighting this year’s Aiken Bluegrass Festival, John Berret reflected the heartfelt spirit of bluegrass music with a collection of CHAUVET Professional Rogue fixtures, all supplied by Quest Sound Productions.

“I really needed to be cognizant of the relatively limited space I had available while designing the festival rig,” said Berret. “At the same time that it had to be compact, my rig also needed to be versatile enough to create unique looks for 19 different groups representing different generations of bluegrass.”

With limited height and room for his design, Berret optimized the placement of all fixtures to enhance the impact of his lighting. He hung six Rogue R2 Spots and two Rogue R1 Beams on upstage truss, as well as ground stacking four Rogue R1 Beams on totems below the truss and four Rogue R1 FX-B fixtures about 3’ in front of the R1 Beams.

Adding the four Rogue R1 FX-B units gave Berret the impact of 20 moving lights, since each fixture has five independently controlled LED heads. Berret had these heads going in different directions at some points, then had them act in unison at others, to reflect the music being performed.

“The color mixing, dimming and shape of the light from the Rogue FX-B gave me so much more freedom throughout the festival,” said Berret. “I was able to drive all the tripping concert goers over the edge with the seamless rainbow of colors and beams they produced. They paint air exceptionally well.”

Berret used the Rogue Spot and Beam fixtures for color, backlighting and aerial effects. “The goal was to create the feeling of the stage being way bigger than it actually was,” he said. “The Rogues allowed for an infinite variety of looks, using split beams, cross light and backlight, projected crisp gobos on the floor of the stage, and also offered stunning aerials that really added the texture and dimensionality I wanted.  Being able to layer all these looks together added even more impact to the performances.  I was super pumped about the overall look!”
