Each night, whether he’s performing in a theater, arena or amphitheater, Jack White treats his fans to a one-of-a-kind musical experience, with no fixed song list and plenty of improvisations within songs as well. As such, Michelle Sarrat and David Leonard serve up unique lighting and video looks each night as well, flowing with Jack White’s musical lead. But to help keep lighting, video content, live cameras and automation in synch, Luz Studio’s Matthieu Larivée notes the creation of “aesthetic blocs” that Sarrat and Leonard can discuss and opt for to guard against creative chaos. And with the palette limited to blue and white, the colors never clash.
