The band's lighting designer is Pablo Levrao, and Francisco “Pincel” Gabriel from Apple productions was the DoP. The DVD production company was Jota Eme and the shoot was directed by Ailton de Souza. Edivaldo "Magoo" Dias was the show's production manager, and the person responsible for co-ordinating all the lighting, sound and video equipment.
The lighting rig featured 110 Robe fixtures in total, comprising 24 x ColorSpot 700E ATs, 48 x ColorSpot 1200E ATs, 8 x ColorSpot 2500E ATs, 24 ColorBeam 700E ATs and 6 x ColorWash Wash 1200E ATs.
They were arranged on 160 metres of overhead trusses rigged in the venue – 86 in the air, with 24 units on the floor – 8 of the ColorBeam 700s, 8 ColorWash 1200s and 8 ColorSpot 1200s. The lights were used for creating a whole variety of looks and atmospheres, from potent rear beam effects to dramatic wide panoramas for the cameras, basic stage washing and fundamentals like key lighting and specials.
Both Levrao and Pincel have been using Robe for about 5 years. Pincel was first introduced to the brand by Magoo, whose company ELO works closely with Robe's Brazilian distributor Sao Paolo based Newart Iluminacao Ltda as a premium reseller.
Pincel likes Robe for many reasons, a main one being the reliability, and also the brightness and power of the optics. The features are comprehensive and provide a fantastic range of options. For his film and video work (he is also an LD), he comments that the uniformity and matchability of the colours between units is very important.
He is very impressed with the ColorBeam 700E ATs which are Apple Productions' most recent Robe acquisition, particularly with the massively bright beam, the rotating gobos and other additional features rarely found on other beam luminaires.
