CHAUVET®, a leading manufacturer of professional lighting, won the Best Big Booth award at LDI 2011 in Orlando. The company put a out a massive presentation encompassing 2,700 square-feet divided in three booths with the central theme: “Lighting is INfectious.”

“I am very grateful for all the hard work and creativity that went into this INfectious presentation. Congratulations to all and special kudos to the marketing team, the product team and the tradeshow setup crew,” Vice President Berenice Chauvet said.

Almost 300 CHAUVET® MVP™ video panels were interlocked into a large-scale wall framing out the booth on three sides to create an immersive experience. Against that backdrop, a truss spider held over 200 fixtures, including the premiering COLORado™ Zoom Tour wash lights and Legend™ 412 moving yokes. At the floor level, a runway was flanked by Q-Wash™ 260-LED moving heads and the new revolutionary Épix™ Series of pixel mapping fixtures running on ArKaos Kling-Net protocol.

It took four days for the CHAUVET® team to set up the “infectious” booth, using seven universes of control and rigging about 17,000 pounds of gear—including cables.  “We used 46 pieces of truss, 31 motors, a custom-built motor control and ran about 2,000 feet of cable,” said Mike Graham, product manager for CHAUVET® Professional. 

CHAUVET® also enlisted the talent of lighting designer Chris Lisle, most recently involved in the Miranda Lambert tour, and of Scott Chmielewski, president of Digital Media Designs and a programmer for the band Phish. Chmielewski helmed the controls and video integration, while Lisle spent more than 12 hours programming a show that featured 57 cues controlling 17 different CHAUVET® fixtures.
