Arkaos Pro used at Badlands Pawn
Badlands Pawn, Gold & Jewelry opened its doors on Thanksgiving Day (26 November) 2015. Pawn shop, gold foundry, gun range, rock radio station, TV station and a tattoo shop by day, the 70,000 sq ft ‘entertainment fortress’ transforms weekly into a rock venue at night.
The $2-million, 32ft x 24ft concert stage has a 26ft x 14ft LED screen, VIP viewing rooms, and seating for 1800, and has already hosted Kiss, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Rick Springfield, Rival Sons and Europe. More national headliners, amongst them Night Ranger, Steppenwolf, April Wine, Megadeth and Grand Funk Railroad, are lined up for later this year.
Badlands Pawn’s owner, Charles Brennan, brought in Las Vegas lighting designer, Drew Giancarli, to design a lighting rig for this venue, the highlight of which is a customised lighting truss that is pixel-mapped to run full video effects.
Giancarli approached Blue Planet Lighting with his idea for a lighting system. In an industry first, Blue Planet Lighting suggested outlined the entire truss system with 900’ of LED pixel tape, with two runs inside each section, and pixel-mapping it to run full videos and effects across the entire rig.
Blue Planet Lighting designed, installed and programmed the system and provided all the equipment, which included 450’ of 12’ x 12’ customised Cosmic truss, custom-built Blue Planet media servers running Arkaos MediaMaster Pro software and a GrandMA Lite lighting console.
Programmer Kelsey Koster used MediaMaster Pro’s LED Mapper feature to map 66 universes (6,500 pixels) of Elation Flex Pixel WP LED pixel tape via ArtNet. “I used the GrandMA Lite to send ArtNet to the server with Arkaos MediaMaster Pro installed,” says Koster. “This allowed us to view CITP thumbnails of the media on the console.”
Giancarli and Koster were able to pre-map all the LED with MediaMaster at Blue Planet’s pre-viz studio. “Once they arrived on-site, it was simply a matter of installing the LED pixel tape and plugging in the server,” says Blue Planet’s President and Assistant Lighting Designer for the project, Kelly Koster.
