This year’s TV Week Logie Awards Red Carpet was designed by Daniel Saveski of GTV9 Lighting Melbourne.
When told the event was being held in Queensland, Daniel chose Creative Productions as lighting vendor.
“I have always kept up to date with Creative, following their new gear Friday posts, so I knew I had a company with great toys to play with!” said Daniel. “The crew, led by my systems tech Scott Black, were outstanding. Their ‘can do’ attitude and level of quality made the entire experience fantastic and I will be definitely using these guys again.”
Gear used was a mixture of Portman P1 Retro and P2 Hexaline, Robe Patt 2013, Robe BMFL Blade, GLP X4 Bar20, GLP X4 L,TourPro zoom PAR jnr, LED pin spots, Sky Panels, Claypaky Sharpys, lots of warm white festoon and an MA3 light for control.
Daniel described why he chose Portman, “First of all I love the old-school look of the fixture. It’s beautiful to look at, sleek, big and the best part is you don’t need external dimmers to run it which means less power. I wanted to add a Retro look to the rig, not only for the wide Jib shots coming in and out of breaks but also to make the talent feel they’re attending something high profile.”
“When you say red carpet, you want it to feel glamorous and The Portman P1 Retro and P2 Hexaline combined made that happen!” Daniel concluded.
