The VCU Men’s Basketball team\u00a0recently filmed a promotional video that introduces the players before each game. V2 Content<\/a>, a talented video production company based in Lincoln, Nebraska, brought us in to help with the lighting. The Lighting & Sound Co was on location at the Stuart C. Siegel Center<\/a>, providing film lighting and making sure the players looked great.<\/p>\n

From render to reality, the VCU Basketball rig featured 36 1000W Par cans- that’s a lot of firepower!<\/p><\/div>\n

We provided a giant wall of light using classic PAR64s in pre-rigged truss. With 36 individually controllable units adjacent to each other, it was easy to achieve many different patterns and effects. A handful of moving head profiles provided additional air light effects. Of course, the video wouldn’t have looked nearly as awesome without a fine haze to show the beams of light. Our favorite hazer, the Look Solutions Unique 2.1, filled the entire gym within a few minutes.<\/p>\n

This lighting required about 37,000 watts of electrical power, which is more the amount of power that your entire house needs. While that much power is available in the main Siegel Center arena, the shoot was taking place on the opposite end of the facility about 600 feet away. Running long feeder cable to get the power where it was needed wasn’t feasible, but fortunately our friends at Temp-Power <\/a>provided a generator perfectly suited for the job that could be placed much closer.<\/p>\n
