BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Robe moving lights were in action on the Slovakian launch of the new Audi Q5, staged in the former factory for Cvernovka fabric and produced by Promea for Porsche Interauto Slovakia. LD Tomas Lecký specified the Robe moving lights rigged on a combination of flown trusses and an eight-meter-high ground support system measuring 24 by 10 meters that was installed onto one of the derelict factory’s old halls. The offbeat location was transformed into a temporary showcase area for the reveal of the various Q5 models.
Lecky used a total of 10 Robe ColorSpot 1200E ATs, 16 Robe ColorWash 1200E ATs, 12 Robe ColorMix 575 ATs and 4 Robe Scan 575 XTs. There was also a large LED video wall in the hall.
The lighting design was geared to highlighting the building’s architecture and industrial features along with the new cars. It started with lasers, and each car was then revealed with its own lightshow sequence. Among other specific effects, Lecky made use of the Robe’s Congo Blue color range and strobing effects.
“They are great lights,” said Lecky, who has used them for a variety of events over the past several years. “They give me all the creative flexibility I need and have proved reliable in all circumstances.” The Robes, along with all the other lighting and audio equipment for the show, were supplied by Q-99.
Lighting was programmed and run from a grandMA full size console by Michael Schmidt, and a grandMA light was used for controlling the LED and video. Lasers were supplied by Kvant and programmed by Martin Kubánka, and the show’s creative director was Martin KákoÅ›.
The Audi Q5 event took place over three days, and was attended by Audi dealers from across Slovakia.
