Over 100 Robe moving lights supplied by Clifton Productions were used to light the 2007 Brownlow Medal event in Melbourne recently.
Awarded to the 'Best and fairest' player of the season, it is the most prestigious annual accolade on the Australian sporting calendar.
It was the first time that lighting designer Robert Coia had used Robe’s new ColorWash and ColorSpot 700E AT fixtures on a major show, and also the first event in Australia to utilise Robe’s powerful new ColorSpot 2500E AT units.
Staged in The Palladium at Melbourne's Crown Casino complex, the 2007 Brownlow Medal dinner was attended by 1500 sporting celebrities and VIPs. It was broadcast live on the country’s Channel Seven TV station, topping the evening’s ratings with an audience of over 1.5 million people.
The stage set was finished in a combination of reflective surfaces and paints that maximised certain lighting effects, and two sets of stairs were internally lit with LED strips.
The Robes were arranged all across a series of room trusses – two running down each side of the space each measured 33 metres and one along the back was 24m long. A 9m diamond shaped truss was rigged in the centre of the room. Robes were also placed on the 7 FOH and 3 over-stage trusses, and on the floor at the rear of the stage.
Selected ColorSpot 700E ATs rigged on the room trusses were also used for close range lighting to highlight specific tables for camera pick-ups throughout the evening. Others made a great job of texturing the walls with soft and subtle gobo looks.
In the Casino’s atrium for the red carpet entrance, 8 Robe ColorSpot 2500E ATs with gobo breakup effects illuminated the huge black marble walls and sweeping staircase leading up to the entrance of the Palladium room.
In addition to the Robe fixtures, the Brownlow rig included over 150 Multi-PARs and 28 2K fresnels in the Palladium, plus SGM PALCO LED wash lights and another 90 Multi-PARs (also all supplied to Clifton’s by ULA, Robe's Australian distributor) out in the atrium to illuminate the entrance way. Fixtures from the atrium’s permanent lightshow were also amalgamated with the production rig for the event.
The Brownlow light-show inside the Palladium was run on GrandMA consoles, together with a Catalyst digital media server driving the onstage LED screen, supplied by Impact Media Images.
A third in-house GrandMA was used to control all the room’s permanent lighting elements, including pin spots, table lights and LED fixtures.
The 2007 Brownlow Medal was won by 23-year old Geelong midfielder Jimmy Bartel, his team going on to win the 2007 Australian Football League Grand Final in Melbourne four days later by thrashing opponents Port Adelaide by 119 points!
