Lighting designer Jonathan Lipsy of Integrated Solutions Group recently created a free-standing video production studio for EMC, the world s largest provider of data storage, using a collection of fixtures from Chauvet Professional.

EMC wanted its video production facility built in a 20,000-square foot-warehouse with a 35-foot ceiling. Due to the way the space is used in this facility, they needed to build a 45-foot by 30-foot free-standing production studio in the centre, unattached to any of the walls or ceiling, recalled Lipsy. This in itself caused a few challenges structural integrity, power distribution, lighting design flexibility and production flexibility, to name a few.

To attain the rigidity it required in order to handle the rigorous lighting changes which EMC would be doing in the studio on a regular basis, Lipsy mounted a Sch-40 aluminum pipe to the top of the structure in a 3-foot by 3-foot pattern.

Power draw was the next challenge and so he elected to limit the studio rig to LED and fluorescent fixtures. Looking for a LED fixture that was powerful, less expensive and had proper quality of light, I chose the Chauvet Ovation line of LED fixtures, said Lipsy. The Ovation line offered me the F-95WW Fresnel, the F- 165WW Fresnel and the E-190WW ellipsoidal. So, I was able to find powerful cost- effective luminaires from a single manufacturer that produce a beautiful light.

Lipsy s EMC lighting package includes 14 Ovation F-165WW Fresnel fixtures, 16 compact Ovation F-95WW Fresnel fixtures and four Ovation E-190WW ellipsoidal fixtures. In addition to the Ovation fixtures, Lipsy s EMC rig has nine COLORado Batten 144 Tour LED batten-style wash fixtures that are positioned along the back of the set for colour changing. Another non-Ovation fixture is the SlimPAR QUAD 6 IRC, a low-profile par-style fixture that serves as a truss warmer.

We use 16 SlimPARs as truss warmers to make our free-standing structure look visibly appealing to anyone who sees it from a distance, said Lipsy. These fixtures create a glowing effect and allow my client to change the colour of the truss structure for different events that take place inside the building that houses the free-standing studio. They can change the colour to match their corporate logo or to match a specific theme.
