12 Robe DigitalSpot 7000DT digital moving lights and 32 REDWash 3•192 were used at the 2008 Miss World Pageant, which was held at the Sandton International Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The 40m wide, multi layered spherical set was based on an African jewel and skinned in grey tones specifically so that a range of colours and textures could be added with lighting and projected effects.
The 12 DigitalSpot 7000 DTs were all hung on one mid stage truss, in positions enabling them to hit multiple focus points all over the set which featured wide steps at the back, a perimeter ramp shot through with a set of eight tall fins upstage.
Run on an ArtNet network, 30 clips of custom video content were created for the show by Gearhouse Media. Some clips were black and white and sepia tones, while others were multi-coloured and crafted to produce liquid-like and fluid effects, which were then beamed around the stage and set.
The 32 REDWash 3•192 fixtures were rigged on trusses forming the two ends of each of the three over-stage pods, and on a truss immediately upstage of these.
In addition to their aesthetic contributions to the look of the show, the DigitalSpots and the REDWashes were said to make a significant contribution to power saving on the gig, making it one of the greenest Miss Worlds to date for lighting.
The REDWashes and DS7000s, despite their brightness, are claimed to be beneficial in terms of power consumption. The full rig for the 2008 event, although about double the size, drew approximately 30 per cent less electricity than the rig used to light the 1995 show in South Africa.
