Flare

Flare in partnership with Eniten Ltd provided an array of bespoke LED structures for the MTV Push and CK One Party.  As all of the fixtures were not common lengths and styles each were hand built.

Flare provided the Lighting for two of the biggest Premiers this year.  Water for Elephants starring Robert Pattinson and Resse Witherspoon Premiered at the beginning of May.   Pirates of the Caribbean 4 had all the stars attending.  Both were deemed huge successes as thousands of eager fans cued through the night.

Flare were asked to provide the lighting and video design for the Datacentres awards at the Lancaster London Hotel.  The 30mm pitch screen allowed versatility between the walk in Winter theme, clean presentation state and band effects while always being tied into the lighting colours and design.

Flare were asked by Event Focus to design and provide the lighting for the grand opening of the Telehouse West Building in Docklands.

At the end of last year Flare Lighting provided the lighting design and realisation for the ‘Mariah Carey Switch On’ event at Westfield London.

The brief was to provide a two stage ‘glitz and glamour’  lighting solutions.  The first stage was to create a spectacular entrance for Mariah on the external promenade of Westfield.  The second to provide lighting design for the main stage where Mariah would present from.

The promenade lighting incorporated a number of different elements.  Star Flowers, VL300 spots, VL2500 washes and Colour punches were just some of the fixtures used.   Along with the effect lighting there need to be enough face light as she would be on camera at all times.  This was achieved by a two high powered Robert Juliat followspots with strategic placement.

In between the two areas we had tungsten Sun Guns and ‘bashers’ to help the cameras with the otherwise very flat light from the shopping centre.

The stage area needed to have enough punch to get through the high ambient light levels in the centre.  The Alpha Beam 1500 was perfect for the job.  This was complimented with some floor mounted JB Lighting A7 LED heads.  Flare utilised the in house fixtures of VL3000s and Mac 700s to light the Grotto and to augment the effect lighting on the stage.

The event was a huge success and created a massive buzz around the area and indeed the celebrity news.

The equipment for this job was provided by White Light.  Photographs kindly provided by Toby Merritt: www.tobymerritt.co.uk
