Leading Slovenian lighting designer Crt Birsa was asked to create a dynamic production lighting scheme for the main stage at the 2015 Schengenfest event, Slovenia’s largest festival, staged at Vinica, Bela Krajina and attracting up to 10,000 music fans each day. They enjoyed a series of rousing performances from a selection of top international artists and local heroes including Rudimental (DJ set), Asian Dub Foundation, Magnifico, Siddharta, Stahlzeit and Guano Apes.

Crt chose to use close to 80 x Robe moving lights which were mostly supplied by rental company Intralite. This included 20 Pointes, 16 x Robin 600E Beams, 20 Color Spot 1200E ATs, 20 Color Wash 575E AT Zooms and three ColorSpot 700 E ATs all right at the centre of the design, which also utilised a number of other lights. Crt and programmer/operator Nikola Podlesnik worked closely on creating a range of good looking shows for all the bands not bringing their own LDs. Both are busy freelancers, and on this occasion, were asked to take care of the Schengenfest lighting by Intralite.

Intralite has a large stock of Robe fixtures, however the Pointes were cross rented as they were a key to Crt’s design. The Robes were placed all over the stage to give different layers and levels of lighting that could produce big, bold, impressive pictures. He laid down the base washes and specials and then created the unique looks over the top using the Pointes. The Pointes were the real centrepiece, giving Crt the latitude to create different lighting looks and scenes for every act appearing on the stage.

Crt has used Robe products in his work for some time, and observes that the compatibility between fixtures makes them all the more usable when combining different generations of fixtures. On this, the Color Spot 1200E ATs’ red/UV gobo combined nicely with the red gobo to the 600E Beams.
