HOLLYWOOD, CA — Veteran television and live event lighting designer Lee Rose of Design Partners once again lit the Hollywood Party for Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve, an event he has been associated with since 1985. This year Lee included the Ayrton MagicPanel602 LED luminaire in the annual celebratory looks. Morpheus Lights of Las Vegas provided the fixtures.
More details from Morpheus Lights (www.morpheuslights.com):
Lee states: “I had used the MagicPanel fixtures on this year’s MDA Telethon and loved how they worked and looked on camera. When I was looking at the design for New Year’s Rockin Eve I knew that I wanted to surround the center video screen on each of the two performance stages. We were able to achieve some great video effects with the fixtures’ pixel-mapping capability, both with extending the screen content and playing separate video content directly to them. The MagicPanel fixtures’ killer 7.5 degree beam gave me bold geometric effects in atmosphere and the ability to have different parts of the 36 LED’s in different colors made for some one of a kind looks. Their ability to do continuous pan and continuous tilt give a new dimension to movement cues. They also provided an effective framework around the primary performance areas by solidly defining the space.
“The fixtures are extremely reliable, fast, very punchy, and blended beautifully with our other lighting elements. They’re a great addition to the designers’ toolbox!”
