Premier line-up by HSL

HSL supplied over 80 moving lights and nearly 150 digital lighting fixtures for the recent Premier League All Stars tournament.

This was staged at the state-of-the-art David Beckham Academy in Greenwich, London, broadcast on Sky One and attended by bumper live audiences.

The competition was part of the Premier League's 'Creating Chances' initiative, uniting football legends, celebrities and fans in a 7-a-side knock-out contest that saw Middlesbrough triumph 3-1 over West Ham in the final.

The moving lights were all Robe and comprised 30 ColorSpot 1200E ATs, 32 ColorWash 1200E ATs and 20 ColorSpot 575E ATs, all of which were hung on trussing rigged above the 60m x 40m pitch.

They were used for numerous effects - the washes covered the entire pitch in different colours, while the Spots were used for gobo projections and other eye-candy style effects for the team entrances and exits.

The 144 JTE PixelLine 1044s were all rigged above the audience seating stands in the horizontal position off a series of vertical scaff bars, with seven fixtures per section of scaff tube.

These were used for flashing, strobing and high energy chase effects when teams came on and off the pitch and for dramatic wide sweeping looks in and out of the audience shots.

HSL also supplied the new I-Pix BB Wash Lights, used to flood the whole pitch, plus many individual PAR cans, large quantities of 6-way par bars, ETC Source Four Zooms and Robert Juliat Ivanhoe follow spots, as well as six 48-way Avolites ART dimmers.
