director Joana Mazzucchelli, and lighting designer / DoP Marcos Olivio, were
assisted by an MA system consisting of 2 x grandMA2 light, 1 x MA onPC command
wing, 1 x MA onPC fader wing, 2 x MA NPU (Network Processing Unit) and 4 x MA
2Port Nodes onPC PRO. This setup was used to control around 488 fixtures
including loads of LED sources.
Marcos
Olivio commented: “First of all the MA system is the most reliable on the
market which was key to us. Second we used grandMA 3D for preprogramming which
gave us many benefits in terms of the time schedule and pre-visualization of
the show. Third the grandMA2 offers a powerful solution to control lighting and
video with just one tool. In the end we worked with multiple stations in the
same session to integrate and control everything which gave us a clear
advantage because of the faster programming.”
