Colours of Ostrava in the Czech Republic hosted bands like Imagine Dragons and alt-J with CHAUVET DJ Intimidator Spot 375Z IRC and CHAUVET DJ SlimPAR Pro H USB fixtures.
Lighting designer Martin Vocetka supplied the fixtures and used four Intimidator Spot 375Z IRC fixtures from CHAUVET DJ, which used dual rotating prisms to create aerial effects and looks with refracted colored beams of light.
“The Intimidators provided extremely powerful and versatile looks throughout the whole stage area,” commented Vocetka. “We were able to create huge aerial effects by reflecting the spots off the large mirror, which created a cornucopia of colour and energy to support the music.”
Vocetka also specified 16 CHAUVET DJ SlimPAR Pro H USB fixtures to provide saturated and atmospheric wash lighting to illuminate the large stage structure.
“The SlimPARS also provided saturated and evenly distributed wash effects to illuminate the whole stage structure, providing a perfect contrast to the energy of the Rogues and Intimidator combination,” added Vocetka. “It was a vivid visual contrast to have our sleek stage lighting against the backdrop of the historic buildings. People commonly refer to this festival as ‘Colours.’ With the output we got from our rig, the Absolut stage more than lived up to this label.”
