Prague’s Barandov Studio’s ‘SuperStar’ production is a joint Czech and Slovak production; it was broadcast on Czech TV channel, Nova TV.
Pro JGS supplied 40 Alpha Profile 1500s, 20 Alpha Spot HPE 700s and 20 Alpha Wash 700s.
JGS’ Julius Szaraz said, “SuperStar is a popular TV show here in Czech and the producers wanted to ensure that they got that all important live music vibe going. MediaPro Pictures already stocks a large number of Clay Paky luminaires and for Superstars they felt they were the obvious choice.”
He added, “The client has been delighted with the outcome and very much appreciates the high quality and performance of the Clay Paky fixtures. In addition they look for high quality service and support, which JGS offers across both markets of Czech and Slovakia. Increasingly we are seeing more and more professional hire companies wanting to stock Clay Paky fixtures, primarily because more and more lighting designers are specifying them and because they are robust, compact, easy to set up and offer a raft of features that no other equivalent fixtures in their class can.”
Alberico D’Amato, Clay Paky sales manager, says, “This is an important market for us and we are delighted to see popular TV shows like SuperStar embrace our product range so fully. We are also proud to hear that such a large TV production company sees fit to invest in Clay Paky fixtures and that they are using the fixtures on such a wide range of productions and in so many different ways and we thank JGS for representing and supporting our products so well in the region.”
