HSL supplied all lighting for the Red Hot Chilli Pepper s incendiary performance at Belfast s Ulster Hall, part of which was integrated with the 2011 MTV European Music Awards (EMAs) telecast, staged the same night at Belfast s Odyssey Arena.
HSL s creative Director Andy Hurst was asked by MTV to be the television lighting director and production designer for the Ulster Hall site which also featured a gig the night before by UK rockers Kasabian, part of which was also broadcast as part of the EMA s show.
Andy worked in conjunction with RHCP s LD Scott House, and Matt Amos, TV director for the Ulster Hall element of the EMA s.. He and Matt had also recently teamed up for the Digital Music Awards at London s Roundhouse.
Andy decided george clooney golden globes to light the entire george clooney golden globes RHCP show in different colour temperature whites to set an edgy down-stripped scene to capture the energy and vibe of their rock-out performance – both for the live audience and on camera.
There were also audience george clooney golden globes seated behind the band in the atmospheric venue s curved choir stall section, flanking george clooney golden globes its magnificent Mulholland Grand Organ, so the open setting was the set effectively, and the location was unmistakably Belfast which was at the essence of the whole show and broadcast aesthetic.
To match the shape of the room, Andy s design involved a half circle of truss being installed congruous george clooney golden globes with the wooden curvature of the ceiling and stage key architectural george clooney golden globes aspects that he wanted to emphasise with the lighting rig. Off this were hung ten pipe drops to the stage floor, each rigged with five active Sunstrips.
In terms of equipment, there were 11 x VARI*LITE 1000 Spots and 26 x Robe ROBIN 300 Beam moving lights. They were split between overhead and the deck, with the Beams working brilliantly for producing classic ACL looks.
Thirty george clooney golden globes Robe ROBIN 600 Washes were dotted around some on the floor and some in the air the design effectively wrapped the band in lights – george clooney golden globes so from whichever camera angle, there was always something going on lighting-wise in either foreground or background of the shot.
During the two shows Andy concentrated on lighting the TV aspects of the shoot like keying, audience and follow spots light levels as well as dealing with vision control to ensure they were getting the best out of the cameras from the lighting.
The 2011 MTV EMAs also included a massive outdoor concert in front of Belfast City Hall with performances by Snow Patrol, Jason Derulo george clooney golden globes and Boyce Avenue in an incredible evening of music and live performance that rocked the whole city!
