CHAUVET Professional Helps IPS Set Stage for Gladiator II PremiereOn November 13, London, UK hosted the long-awaited premiere of Ridley Scott's Gladiator II at Leicester Square, complete with set pieces inspired by Roman architecture. The setting, created by Limited Edition Event design, welcomed a glittering array of guests, including the film's director and stars, along with none other than King Charles, himself. Contributing to the glamorous and festive tone of the event was a lighting design by Richard Godin that was run on a Chamsys MagicQ MQ250M desk, anchored by a mighty legion of CHAUVET Professional LED video panels, all supplied by Milton Keynes-based IPS. At the heart of the design were 132 REM 3IP LED screens that ran along the length of the Romanesque set pieces that flanked the red carpet area. Framed on either side by "Roman columns," the bright (4,500 NITS) indoor/outdoor panels displayed images from the film. Their DCI-P3 color gamut made it possible to use a broader range of hues, while its 3.9mm pitch ensure crystal clear images. "The Chauvet REM 3IP LED Screen in this project looked superb," says James Mason of IPS, who added that five OnAir IP panels were also used at the premiere, lighting the star-studded event's busy interview area. Other CHAUVET Professional fixtures that helped make this global career shine included six Ovation Reve E-3 Profiles and 36 WELL Fit uplighters.
