Fujian Television’s Spring Tribute

Fujian Broadcast and Television Group is a popular Chinese television station and like most television stations today broadcasts a large variety of programming and special events. Martin Professional’s Shanghai office recently supplied 60 intelligent fixtures for a recent tribute show in celebration of the station’s founding.

Lighting Designer Zhao Vanan of Fujian Television created a magnificent, contemporary look for the show that was highly complementary to the ultramodern set design. Behind three large set pieces hung a massive 12-meter wide by 10-meter high wall of lighting that included MAC moving heads, moving mirrors and conventional fixtures.

MAC 2000 Profiles served as backlighting with stage-positioned MAC 2000 Profiles used for pattern projection onto the large set pieces. MAC 600s colored the scenery from different angles. The large, black, empty space above the stage was solved using a large triangle truss of MACs and conventionals with additional conventionals used as truss warmers.

The intelligent fixtures not only allowed for a large variety of looks but their high tech functionality and design fit in ideally with the party theme and futuristic set pieces.
