                            This would require a large amount of rigging points and motors.
                             Instead a mothergrid was drawn above the 5 main lighting trusses
                             reducing the motor count by 12.
                             This reduced the time it takes to get the rig in the air and show
                             ready. This also made cabling and patching the rig more efficient and
                              cost effective.

The problem presented with Mint Festival was the weight restriction on the singular truss
hanging between the roof in the hanger arena. This restricted the lighting fixtures we could
hang on the truss. The answer was to put all the main lighting fixtures and video screen on
ground support towers spread across the stage.
 This created the feeling of space around the performer while restricting stage access to their
guests and the additional god lights behind enhanced those “hands in the air” moments.
The other stage was hosted by Elrow with a breif of making it as colourful as possible to
compliment their large ammount of decor to brand the stage. Mission accomplished.

  Coloursound were approached by E3UK Live to provide full production for their
  forthcoming event in Birmingham. The design incorporated 6 upstage hung
  video screens, 4 truss ladders and 4 overhead trusses creating a dymanic
  lighting rig for every artist performing.

Mabel required a touring floor packag

  however wanted to scale the design up
                                           for the bigger shows. 2 lighting
  rigs were created with similar fixture
                                         s so the programming for the tour
