San Antonio’s Magik Theatre has once again proven itself as a beacon of creativity in the theater world, showcasing its recent production of “The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical”. What made this show even more captivating was the ensemble of MEGA-LITE products used to bring Lighting Designer and Programmer, Carlos Nine’s vision to life.
Lighting Supervisor, Thaddeus Morris worked closely with the MEGA team to curate an inviting and captivating look for the audience using a variety of moving heads such as the M-Series, two Framebots, and some Linebot Q480. Other notable products are the Nova-Lite UV200, multiple N-E Pixstrip H216s, an H6 Hazer, and a Mega Node unit to control all lighting products. This production was the first to showcase the revolutionizing Light Pipe series, integrating 15 units into the set.
The Light Pipe promised an easy installation process, which was a perfect fit for this production. This innovative product added a subtle yet strong pop to the structural elements of the set. Its IP-65 rating makes it suitable for both your indoor and outdoor application needs.
With seamless integration into the trussing system, the Light Pipe not only illuminated the performances but also became an integral part of the storytelling, enhancing the ambiance and engaging the audience on a deeper level. “When I first heard about the Light Pipe, I was super excited [about] the cleanliness of its installation”, Morris shared. His excitement for the Light Pipe was evident by adding, “My biggest surprise was the brightness and color saturation of its LEDs.”
