BURLESON, TX — Heavy rain couldn’t extinguish the IGNITE Passion, Compassion, Justice festival, one of the Southwest’s biggest Christian music festivals recently. The soggy conditions also failed to short-circuit the wide-screen LED visuals provided by Keller, Texas-based GoVision. Staged at Burleson High School, the event featured a lineup that included Chris Tomlin, The David Crowder Band, Flyleaf and Sanctus Real. Special guests included Kirk Cameron, Francis Chan, Bethany Hoang and Zach Hunter.
The performers were backed up with a three-screen video wall comprised of a 19-foot-by-33-foot high-definition GoBigger mobile video screen. It was flanked by two 9-foot-by-16-foot Daktronics PST HD-12 LED panels.
The video production allowed the three screens to operate independently and simultaneously. Computer-generated graphics and other video elements were incorporated throughout the show via GoBigger’s on-site studio. GoVision’s production crew shot the festival using five mobile cameras, including two on-stage jibs.
“We wanted to create one of the most unique and exciting visual displays ever seen at a Christian music festival,” said Jeff Werner, video producer for the event. “GoVision not only offered the best equipment, but the outstanding production capabilities we needed to pull it off — even under some pretty severe weather conditions.”
“Make no mistake,” said Chris Curtis, CEO of GoVision. “The IGNITE festival pushed the envelope on the application of cutting-edge LED technology at a live event. This wasn’t just big for the Christian music scene. U2 would have been impressed by this operation!”
The IGNITE Passion, Compassion, Justice event brings the CW Festival together with the International Justice Mission, a Christian-based human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression.
