Tasked with this mammoth task was Termoli-based veteran full-service production company Rooster s.r.l.

HALUPIX fixtures were used, featuring a cutting-edge optical design that combines a 2800 Kelvin warm-white LED source with special 8° optic reflectors providing a long through projection of sharp beams in the air. The HALUPIX LED matrix modules gave designers the ability to project volumetric graphics and simulate a 3D effect.
In addition to this, the new-generation LED work-horse, the PROLIGHTS Stark series featured prominently with 42
STARK1000 and 18
STARK400 commissioned. The powerful PROLIGHTS Stark series repeatedly delivered outstanding results whilst also housing an extensive toolkit providing the designers with much-needed flexibility without compromising reliability.
To complete the line-up were 48
SUNBLAST3000FC. The incredible 180,000 lumen punch delivered from the compact IP65 strobes put the “final touches on the performance”.
Emilio Lombardi from Rooster s.r.l explained, “the expectation grows year on year with this production and the challenges faced are very real. The fixtures are pushed to the limits repeatedly and not only did the PROLIGHTS fixtures perform beautifully every single time, but the feature-set gave us the opportunity to push limits. The fantastic design team, crew and the faultless performance of the PROLIGHTS fixtures provided us with a spectacular show at the end that everyone was proud of”
