LSi reports on an industry initiative that saw an inspired crew create an events series in aid of Music Support . . .
"Sonic and visual mayhem on a big scale to match the big beat anarchy and sounds of the Prodigy, the UK’s favourite genre-defying electro anarchists, that was the goal for Lighting Designer Tim Fawkes."
“Thorough and organised” lighting and set designer Tim Fawkes turned for help to his former employer HSL to create “visual anarchy” for The Prodigy who are passionate about lighting.
"Event production company HSL Group recently supplied lighting design to The Prodigy for their No Tourists tour, which has just begun."
"Carefully orchestrated lighting mayhem may sound contradictory but is probably the best way to describe lighting a show by The Prodigy!"
"HSL’s Tim Fawkes managed the project , which involved 5 x 45ft trailer loads of kit, including trussing and rigging, which he also co-ordinated on site, in close collaboration with Electric Fly’s hand-picked crew of lighting technicians/operators and riggers."
"HSL's Mike Oates and Tim Fawkes worked closely with Electric Fly's Nick Jevons and Phil Winward. All the designs were based on simplicity, producing high-impact lighting and effects whilst incorporating rigs devised for quick and easy get ins and de-rigs."
"Controlling the multi-layered, dynamic visual concoction was lighting operator Tim Fawkes, with assistance from Bryte Design’s Cate Carter"
"The show’s visual design this year was created by Tim Fawkes from top UK rental company HSL, who supplied all the rigging and other technical infrastructure needed to rig the lights, plus a crew of eight."
"Tim Fawkes is out on the road operating, using a Road Hog Full Boar console working alongside HSL technician Steve major."
"Hurst worked with programmer Tim Fawkes who also operated lighting on the night using a Road hog Full Boar console"
