Stu Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Just looking at pics from the new Queen tour and they've got 4-6 huge Syncrolite type lights along the back of the stage, but I don't think they are Syncrolite's because they are more smooth and sleek and minus the gel scroller. Here's a pic for you all to look at Pic 1Pic 2 Anyway hope someone can help. Seriously bugging me now.. StuPS. Only a few months til I'll be there rocking it out in Hyde Park! :)!

Rob Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Look like space cannons to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 You are right they are defiantly not syncros, look more like Space cannons.The LD and crew are friends of mine, will try to find out if you like.Last I heard they were in South africa mind you.Bandit Lites UK are the suppliers.

Stu Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi Don.Yes, if you do manage to find out any more info about the rig I would love to know. I kinda miss the big Par rigs of Queen yesteryear, but the world moves on and from what I've seen video clip wise from Reueters the lighting looks amazing! Yeah they (Queen) were in South Africa for 46664 last week, Brixton on Monday and Paris tonight. Sorry, bit of a huge Queen fan! Cheers for your help, and ditto to Rob.Stu PS. I feel sorry for Roger having 7kw of light sat about 6ft from him! :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Yup, thats the one. They're huge and incredibly bright. Essential Lighing used loads of Space Cannons for the Oxford Street Christmas lights last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I must say as technology gets better, most things get smaller, apart from lights!The show I am doing at the moment in Denmark has 14 Megalights which are 9x 2k floods in one unit, with a huge scroller on the front - try swapping one of them out 40ft in the air! Anyway back on track, Queen is essentially a Martin rig and they are indeed Space cannons.Chances are the rig for Hide Park will get bigger to cope with the needs of an outdoor show.Looks great, saw the Cad drawings a while back - good stuff, I'm sure you will enjoy the show.Keep a lookout in Lighting and sound international for a review. if you like the rock and roll par can look, try to find some pictures of the recent Darkness tour, massive par rig with a High end studio beam back wall which you could write words with.

the kid Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Don't know if anyone saw it but Newsnight had a review on the tour, some of the footage was quite good. Edit - just found that lighting designer is Paule Constable. And Re. The Darkness here is some pictures and a reg spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Edit - just found that lighting designer is Paule Constable. Paule Constable lighting the Queen tour?? You sure? I thought she only did theatre and opera etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I looked up queen lighing of some thing like that and her name came up I cant find what I typed in exacaly but this has her name 5 links down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 The site looks like an events listing. If you hit the "cache" link you'll see that her name is something to do with The National Theatre, and the queen link is separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G2000 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 What u see are synchrolites, housed within old spots with 4 operators (hence being smooth) Edit - just found that lighting designer is Paule Constable P.S This is not the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
