Robe Lights Up TPi 2013

News Image
Last week's Total Production International (TPi) Awards were lit up by Robe lighting, who supplied over 350 fixtures to brighten up the proceedings.
TPi 2013 was staged in the Ballroom of the Novotel, West London and was attended by over 1000 leading industry professionals.
The show’s visual design this year was created by Tim Fawkes from UK rental company HSL, who supplied all the rigging and other technical infrastructure needed to rig the lights, plus a crew of eight.
The Robe fixtures were all delivered directly by Robe UK to the TPi Awards for show producers Mondiale Publishing.
The pressure was on for Tim to produce something amazing with the lighting. His aim was to bring a contemporary 'rock ’n’ roll' look to the space and to "make it a funky and fun environment to reflect the party atmosphere."
The fabulous 'beamy' looks he wanted were achieved with the use of 132 x LEDBeam 100s most of which were arranged in clusters of four, ACL style, in between the onstage screens and strategically positioned all around the room.
"The speed and great colours of these are excellent and ideal for creating both traditional ACL looks and scenes with a very modern touch," Tim said.
Robe’s versatile multi-purpose CityFlex 48 flexible LED fixtures were dotted around the room, with 24 run in hi-res mode to contrast against the black areas of the back wall and the rest up-lighting a complete voile wrap around the room’s perimeter.
Thirty-two of the Award Winning ROBIN MMX WashBeams – which collected a coveted Etoile du SIEL 2013 Award in Paris just the week before – were used over the stage and around the room for breakups and beam effects, as well as for picking up winner walk-ups and to spot colour and texture the tables around the whole room.
Another Robe product, the ROBIN DLF LED Wash, was used as the primary stage lighting tool. Tim found the internal barn doors very useful in shuttering off the light neatly when working with the onstage LED screens.
The ROBIN LEDWash 600, which has collected several awards in addition to being one of the most popular LED wash luminaires worldwide, was used for the main layer of table lighting around the Ballroom.
Robe’s CEO Josef Valchar and Sales Director Harry von den Stemmen flew in to attend the event, where Josef presented the Award for the Favourite Lighting Rental Company, won by PRG.
Mondiale’s Event Manager was Ben Chadwick and HSL’s Project Manager for the show was Spantax. The 2013 TPi Awards were presented by singer, TV personality and radio DJ, Lauren Laverne.
