4Wall Entertainment provided a lighting rental package to LD George Gountas for Trevor Noah’s third comedy special on Netflix, I Wish You Would. The special was directed by Noah’s The Daily Show colleague, David Paul Meyer, and filmed at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.
The moving lights portion of the rental package featured 16 CHAUVET Professional Maverick MK3 Wash, 50 Elation Professional Artiste Picasso, 20 GLP Impression X4 S, 7 High End Systems SolaHyBeam 3000, and 14 Robe MegaPointe fixtures. Chroma-Q Color Force II LED battens were used on the front of the stage and uplit the comedian. Gountas deployed several Robe RoboSpot FollowSpot systems to highlight Noah. The stylish Robe PATT 2013 and Robe picklePATT fixtures were located stage right and stage left and created a stunning, floating backdrop.
A day after announcing on air that he’d be departing The Daily Show after seven years, Noah made his way to Toronto to film this special. I Wish You Would premiered globally on November 22, 2022, and is available to watch now on Netflix.
