Perth’s One 20 Productions have added some serious firepower to their lighting arsenal with the addition of eight Martin MAC Vipers and twelve Clay Paky Sharpys.
“We purchased the Vipers knowing there weren’t that many in Perth and that they would be a highly specified light,” revealed Damian John, managing director of One 20 Productions. “While not many of our shows are spec-driven, we knew there would be a sub-hire demand for them. Also, as our shows are getting bigger in size, we knew we’d need a larger fixture to supplement our MAC700 fixtures.”
With One 20 Productions’ MAC700 out working nearly every weekend it was time to add more Martin fixtures and the Vipers were the ideal solution.
“We have a strong brand loyalty to Martin and company loyalty to Show Technology,” said Damian. “We also looked at a Vari-lite fixture but the support we get from Show Technology really got us across the line.”
The Vipers have been busy since arriving in the warehouse a few months ago and Damian reports that they swiftly became a hire favourite and that his guys love their speed, brightness and reliability.
In addition to the Vipers, One 20 Productions took delivery of twelve Clay Paky Sharpys just before Christmas.
“They are without doubt, the best fixture in our inventory!” Damian declared. “They go out every weekend without fail. They’re simply fantastic fixtures; people love them, we love them.”
