Chauvet helps Onedot reflect April moments at Pentapic Music Festival

Lighting designer Louis-Xavier Bonneau and the team at Onedot selected Chauvet Professional’s Rogue Outcast 2 Beam fixture for Pentapic, an annual music and sport event held every April at the base of the Sommet Morin-Heights ski resort, 83 kilometers north of Montreal, Canada.

“We used a rich palette of cool tones to reflect the winter atmosphere surrounding the base of the ski mountain”, explains Bonneau. “Warmer colors were then introduced to evoke the arrival of spring and create a sense of seasonal transition. Yellow also played a key role throughout the design, as it was the primary color of the event.”

Contributing to this color narrative were twelve Rogue Outcast 2 Beam units, supplied by FX Production. They were rigged vertically on two towers and played a pivotal role in adding “personality” to the festival lighting, so it could better pump up excitement, while reflecting the music of the various performing artists.

“To create dynamic and versatile looks that could adapt to the wide variety of artists performing throughout the event, we incorporated two distinct lighting effects in our design”, says Bonneau. “We had the Rogue Outcast 2 Beams positioned on each side of the stage to deliver intense visual punches and high-energy moments. Then, for contrast, we had a luminous box installed on the roof of the container for softer lighting patterns and more atmospheric when needed.”

As Bonneau notes, despite the seasonal transition, winter was most definitely still present at the festive. Snow created logistical difficulties throughout the production - at times, equipment got stuck in the snow enroute to the stage. Then, there was also the need to protect the performers themselves. The Onedot team used a shipping container as a DJ booth to offer added protection, and carefully monitored the use of smoke and haze.
