Robe BMFLs light FNB Stadium for Daimler event

Technical production and solutions specialist Solid Rock Event Technical, working for Blue Platinum Events, provided the technical production - lighting, sound and large format video projection - for the Daimler Trucks & Buses Event at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. Twenty-four Robe BMFL Spot moving lights were on the lighting spec for filling the environs of the 95,000 capacity venue with lumens.

The performance was an audio visual experience with projections mapped to the large pitch area supported by lights shooting around the entire building, pyrotechnics and a skydiving display team. This was unleashed on guests who were helicoptered in to the ‘secret’ location from nearby Midland.

The idea to stage this extravaganza as the entertainment segment of the event was originated by Solid Rock’s Keith MacIntyre, and the BMFLs were already on the lighting spec which was compiled by MacIntyre, when Kurt de Preez of Pan Tilt was asked on-board as the lighting designer.

The BMFL Spot units were positioned along the floor of each layer of tiered seating in groups of 4s, 6s and 8s. The beams threw beams of light across the stadium to the opposite sides. Twenty-four Robe Pointes were also used, located at the top of the stadium seating stands. Kurt de Preez controlled the BMFLs and other lights using his own M6 console.
