A creative show design team from Painting with Light, led by Luc Peumans, delivered the set, video and lighting that helped present a live version of Belgian comedy TV show “Tegen De Sterren Op” (TDSO) at Antwerp Sportpalais for two performances of the satirical impressionist show.

 

It was the third time that production company Deds IT has staged the ‘live’ TDSO show for broadcaster VTM, and the first time at the Sportpalais venue. Peumans created a digital scenery concept for the first TDSO live show a year ago (at the nearby Lotto Arena) and this was utilized again to replicate the large golden portal/pros arch that is instantly recognisable from the TV show.

 

In the Sportpalais, this measured 18 metres wide by 9 high, and upstage was an 18 metre wide by 9 metre high block of LED screen which split in the middle and tracked apart for entrances and exits. The two curved staircases either side of the main arch were also provided with smaller matching LED portals, and two side IMAG screens ensured the action onstage reached everyone in the arena. The two band risers - downstage left and right - were also clad in the same LED surface - a 7.5 mm Roe product.

 

All the playback video content like intro loops, stings, logos, motion graphics and digital branding used in the show was created by Painting with Light’s Michael Al Far especially for the TDSO live show, and they also edited and reworked some original VT clips that were provided by Deds IT. Michael Al Far was supported by visual artists Katleen Selleslagh and Aitor Biedma. Jo Pauly programmed the D3 4x4 Pro media server used for control, which was supplied to the production by Painting with Light and run by Yo.

 

The lighting scheme was created by Luc Peumans and programmed by Carlo Zaenen as the ‘executive LD’ working closely with operator Leon Driesson. The moving lights were a mix of VariLite 3500 and 3000 Spots for keying and VariLite 3500 Washes for the back and over-stage coverage, combined with Sharpy Washes - around 128 in total of all these types. There were 26 x 4-lite blinders and additional VL3500 washes to illuminate the audience and involve them in the action - literally and on camera.

 

One PRG Bad Boy operated via a Ground Control system was used for rear follow spotting and specials together with four Robert Juliat Cyrano followspots out in the house. As with all Painting with Light projects, lighting was run on a GrandMA2 console, operated by Leon. PRG delivered all the technical equipment - lighting, sound and video - with Painting with Light supplying playback video control.
