<< NEWS /  SPICE GIRLS CHECK-IN WITH VIRGIN ATLANTIC

Date entered: 28/01/2008

Robe moving lights and an Avolites D4 control console took centre stage as the Spice Girls hit the button with Richard Branson to launch the new Virgin Atlantic check-in at Terminal 3 of London's Heathrow Airport. Lighting equipment was supplied by Southampton-based GLS who were working for event producers Watermark Event Management. GLS brought Peter Canning and Nic Ayres of Anglo-Irish design practice High Resolution Lighting onboard to produce the creative elements needed to really make the presentation fly. "They were an obvious choice as Virgin Atlantic like a rock ‘n' roll edge to their shows," explains GLS's Ian Turner.

Challenges included the back wall of the venue being an 80 metre wide by 20 metre high glass wall, which effectively meant that the show - which took place on a 12 metre deep stage built in front of this - was in daylight. No available flying points dictated that they had to use a 6-leg ground supported box truss for most of the lighting rig and video elements - the latter of which were also supplied by GLS.
