Blackpool’s Winter Gardens hosted International Fitness Showcase (IFS), the UK’s largest event for fitness fans, and used a collection of CHAUVET Professional Rogue R2 Wash, COLORdash Batten-Quad 6 and Rogue R1 Spot fixtures for the event.
Assistant production manager Ollie Wilkinson and Thomas Beattie, production manager at Arranpaul, designed the lighting concept for the showcase.
“As this was the sixth year that Arranpaul provided production for the IFS, we wanted to make this year’s design special,” Wilkinson said. “With our huge arsenal of Chauvet, we were able to create vibrant looks throughout the whole complex to bring out the energy in the show.”
Fixtures were spread over the 14 rooms, scattering 12 Chauvet Professional Rogue R2 Wash, 12 COLORdash Batten-Quad 6, and six Rogue R1 Spot moving head fixtures throughout the building.
“The combination of CHAUVET Professional Rogue R2 Wash and COLORdash Batten-Quad 6 fixtures delivered an incredible mix of saturated wide spread and linear wash lighting to provide exceptional visual consistency throughout the event,” commented Wilkinson. “Working in tandem with the Rogue R1 Spot fixtures, they gave us an ideal blend of color mixing and movement we needed to create a lively, invigorating atmosphere.”
CHAUVET DJ fixtures also added visual accentuation in the various rooms of Winter Gardens, from areas with trade stands to fitness studios.
“The CHAUVET DJ fixtures are incredibly versatile,” Wilkinson added. “They ensured we could provide the various rooms with the perfect balance between uplifting and tasteful lighting to complement various activities.”
