For this year’s Neon Countdown festival held at Wonder World Extreme Park in Bangkok, Thailand, organizers turned to Morrison, CO-based Collyns Stenzel and Las Vegas-based Ed Shaw for a remote lighting and production design. For all his festival designs, remote or not, Stenzel is a believer in streamlining the challenges facing guest LDs and programmers with a limited number of fixture types. “We knew some of the LDs and VJs doing the festival and we didn’t want to throw them 40 different fixture types,” Stenzel said. “I would rather keep it with one fixture type and make it easily programmable for everyone’s show.”
