“For Panic at The Disco, I rely a lot on what I learned in the theatrical community. It’s less about big movements and big graphic aerials with moving lights, and it’s more about intensity and color changes from static positions to create deep, layered looks. That’s one of the things that sets this apart from other designs. A lot of other shows that I see are relying on spots for front light. I try to find a different and unique system for key light. On this tour, we added Martin MAC TW1s so I could have that warm, soft, side light system, and that’s one of the things that really makes the show look different and keeps it theatrical and bright, as opposed to the other shows that are more flashy and strobey.”
