Lighting Design
Our lighting design for the NJIT Spring Concert focused on creating an engaging and visually captivating atmosphere. Using a combination of industry standard fixtures to create vibrant colors and engaging effects. The lighting was ran on a full size grandMA2 lighting console, as requested on Magdalena Bay's rider. The light show not only highlighted key moments in the performance but also amplified the energy in the venue. Carefully positioned fixtures ensured that the lighting reached every corner of the space, immersing the audience in a dynamic visual experience.
The pipe and drape setup provided a clean and professional look, creating defined spaces that enhanced the overall stage design. Carefully set up, it complemented the event's theme while also ensuring functionality. This setup helped frame the performance area and added depth to the visual presentation. By incorporating strategic placement, the arrangement contributed to managing the flow of the backstage and audience areas seamlessly.

Its versatility allowed for dynamic visuals that shifted seamlessly to align with the band’s setlist, enhancing the storytelling of each song.
