Spiked Rows

Clint Self, Grant Embury, Lucas Winkler, and Ben Pierce from Bethany Church in Baton Rouge, LA brings us this cool horizontal design. 

The design includes a few parts. First, triangular tiles from Mio Culture were used. They were lit from below with 6 Elation QW LED Strips and from the sides with 2 Elation Platinum ZFX moving LED fixtures.

In the center, they had a line of 24 regular incandescent bulbs that they mounted to pieces of wood that they painted flat black.

Above the tiles, they had a custom triple-wide screen that they built. It had 3 Christie projectors shooting on it. The content was blended across the 3 projectors with ProPresenter and a TripleHead2Go module.

Above the stage on the back truss, they had 9 Chauvet SlimPar LEDs, 2 more Elation Platinum ZFXs, and 6 incandescent pars without any gels (used as “blinders”) (not lit in the picture). On the truss above the front of the stage, they had 2 Martin Mac 101s, that they used for backlighting. On the front of the floor off to the sides, they had 6 Elation Platinum 5R Spots, and 2 HighEnd X-Spot Extremes. And lastly, the drums were lit from inside the drum shield with 2 Venue LED Pars.

They used 2 separate hazers: a Diffusion DF-50 (oil based), and a Unique 2.1 (water based). And the console running the lights was an Avolites Pearl Expert Pro, running Titan 8.4.

Their budget was $2,500, but they were well below that at only around $700 for the tiles.
