MA2 Virtual Lightshows - Mama (Live) by Genesis

Описание: While having to stay home and having no events to work on, I thought I would brush up on my programming using MA2 PC. I've recently gotten more used to owning an Onyx desk, but I thought it would be worth keeping things going.

I doubt that I will ever get to the stage that I would get to design and build a rig of this size, so I thought I would make a rig idea that I've had in my head since I was at school inspired by shows I saw videos of when I was growing up (mostly mid 80s and early 90s Genesis and Phil Collins concerts with old Varilites).

This song is from the 1992 Genesis 'I can't Dance' tour, however I'm using influence from the 'Invisible Touch Tour' in 1987, which was the first all moving light rig, and introduced the new series 200 Varilites (the VL2C and VL3).

The rig has a lot of influences from their designers over the years including the late Alan Owen who worked with them for decades (hence the octagonal shape centrepiece), Marc Brickman who designer the We Can't Dance Tour (the vertical Varilite clusters at the back), and various shows from Patrick Woodroffe. The outrigged FOH trusses as well as the truss legs coming from the centre truss are inspired by the 'Serious Hits, Live' tour from 1990 (LD: Jonathan Smeeton)

After working doing lighting with a few Genesis tributes over the years, the lightshows are recognisable by the audience, so I wanted to try and emulate that 1987 tour with this rig.

Hope you enjoy. :)
