Robe illuminates 2016 Halberg Awards

The 53rd Halberg Awards was a collaboration between the event’s lighting, audio and LED screens supplier, Oceania, broadcast partner OSB and broadcaster Sky TV which runs the show and manages content for the three-hour live telecast. The lighting rig included Robe BMFL Spots and Pointes among other fixtures, all of which were rigged in the Vector Arena, Auckland.

The overall event production design was produced by Steve Shields for Sky TV. Simon Garrett and Jeremy Fern headed the design team for Oceania. Fern had a lot of input into the show, set and backdrop which comprised projection and LED panels bordered with truss and lighting elements, all centred around a 6 m x 12 m high tower of 4.5 mm LED rigged in portrait format which split in two to create a presenter entrance on demand.

Flanking this panel were a pair of 24 ft 16:9 IMAG projection screens fed by 20k Christie machines, and filling the void beneath were 10 vertical towers clad with 12 mm pitch VuePix LED mesh, tapering in size. In addition to the 30 x BMFL Spots - dotted around on three V-shaped trusses over the audience with eight on an upstage truss - 20 x Pointes were on the show together with other lights. A GrandMA2 console was programmed and operated on the night by Oceania’s Joel Stanners.
