johnhuson Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Adding to this query - does anyone know what they use in the corners (bit like some sort of powerful moonstar effect) at first I thought it was one of the numorus Mac 500's but the beam angle seems to wide? It's probably a Studio Due Space Flower or similar, you see them on a lot of things. They're designed for outdoor use, but I've used them indoors to achieve a similar effect and they look great as you can see. As for the projections on the ice, could well be from Vari*Lite VL3500's. They've got an incredible zoom lens in them which could produce patterns that large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac500 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I'm pretty sure they're just normal Vl3000s because I havent seen any of the shuttering that can be done with the vl3500s. The flickering behind the judges on saturday was so distracting it was really bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamtastic3 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 ok ok so the flickering behind the judges is now very distracting the more people go on about it (like myself). ...If only my local ice rink were as jazzed up as that one (mine has a few moonflowers and a strobe), I'd go every week to skate!!!

MartinT Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm Led to believe (from Robe) that it's an HSL job and it's all Robe kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Network_Josh Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The show is definatly being done by HSL as they enquired about hiring some 2.5ml Soca from us as they were slightly short. Unfortunatly for us we had a need for it at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ247 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Can confirm it's definitely supplied & crewed by HSL, saw the trucks arriving during the get-in & called in prior to it going on air. Very impressive rig. I was surprised how small the rink itself was. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnPartridge Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Has anyone got a Kit list? or anymore Tech information? John Partridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampieman Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Have they taken over a proper Ice rink for the show or have they kitted out a studio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ247 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 It's being filmed at Elstree Film Studios in Borehamwood in George Lucas 2. Big Bro & Who wants to be ... are also filmed there. The rink has been put in specially before / during Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanko Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 As someone who was around HSL (as a full time employee, then a freelancer) when the job was being put together, it is defantly a HSL job, and as far as I am aware the kit is a combination of mac's, VL's and possibly some robe stuff. The big buggers in the corners, as someone suggested earlier are studio duo space flowers. also wouldn't surprise me if they had some of their massive stock of JTE pixel kit on it! There a cracking company, who have loads and loads of kit, and there prep process is second to none, I reckon we will be seeing a lot more of HSL on the larger TV jobs (they had kit on X-factor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 As someone who was around HSL (as a full time employee, then a freelancer) when the job was being put together, it is defantly a HSL job,AHA!So do you know, or can you find out, what they're using to project onto the ice floor? <waits in eager anticipation.......................> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Those projections can't be from a load of moving lights, surely?! Having watched a bit of it last night (not really for the lighting, more like for that Holly girl ) there was one bit where there was a kind of starburst from centre stage, moving out to all 4 corners in white dots - it was so fluid and natural looking that I really think it must be some sort of fancy projection - E/T/C do that sort of thing don't they? Maybe something similar? Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Those projections can't be from a load of moving lights, surely?!That's the question - the only conclusion we've come to thus far is indeed that it has to be some sort of hidef hi-output projector, but so far no-one's been able to confirm what it is.....!
