Regardes Moi - Rhythm of the Night

Back in early January Tornado Multimedia were contacted by Regardes Moi to provide lighting and sound for their annual production. This time however, they were faced by a new challenge, performing in an old church building with limited power. We arranged a free site visit with the client to discuss possible solutions.

After the site visit had taken place and the production had been discussed, it was decided that although there was limited power this wasn't to be apparent in the lighting design. With this in mind, we specified a variety of multipurpose fixtures, including units from both our RGB Theatre Spot and iColour4 RGBY Flood stock, and also our low power LED fixtures.

Photos of this production are available online on our Facebook Fan Page. You don't need to be a member of Facebook to view these photos.
