Ayrton MagicDot-R makes its US debut at ‘Rock in Rio’
MagicDot-R, Ayrton’s new moving head LED luminaire, made its US debut with Bruno Mars at ‘Rock In Rio Las Vegas’ in May 2015. Lighting designer Cory FitzGerald of Seven Design Works used a configuration of 184 of the new fixtures on the singer’s closing performance at this year’s festival which was hosted for the first time in the US. FitzGerald’s design also featured an array of 128 Ayrton IntelliPix-R panels deployed as fascias fronting the stage-wide risers that backed Mars and his band.
FitzGerald used all 184 MagicDot-R fixtures in the air above the band, rigged on four staggered trusses mounted on variable speed motors. These allowed him to use the bank of MagicDot units in several configurations and positions above and behind the band throughout the show. “We were able to create many different effects this way and at one point had all four trusses moving in a song-length sinewave effect for the song ‘Marry You’,” he says. Beamed laser-like effects appeared during the song ‘Gorilla’.
128 IntelliPix-R panels were incorporated into the ‘Rock in Rio’ design where FitzGerald used them as wrap-around fascias on the stepped risers behind the band. In addition, eight vertical trusses were installed upstage of the risers, each of which carried five more individual IntelliPix-R panels mounted at a 45º angle using the new IP-R mounting frame from Morpheus Lights. FitzGerald chose not to use any of IntelliPix-R’s on-board macros.
