Robe Gets Smart for Čo Ja Viem?!

Robe has supplied lighting for a new design by Martin Kubanka for the RTVS (Radio & Television Slovakia) quiz show series Čo Ja Viem?! (What do I know?!), recorded at Mlynska Dolina film studios in Bratislava.

The 13-episode show sees the knowledge of three celebrities and 200 students in the studio pitted against one another during knock-out rounds and then the finalists competing for money.
The set features a large central LED screen surrounded by multiple LED screen panels flanked by scenic book-backs. This was designed by Daniel Šichman to fit the brief of the series producers / licensees TALPA Media.
The lighting design was left completely open. Kubanka added a number of lighting states used for different moments in the game, e.g. for when the time limit for answering the question is about to expire.
The moving lights used were 12 x ROBIN 600 Beams, 12 x ROBIN 300 Beams and 10 x Robe ColorSpot 1200E ATs, supplied by Slovakia's leading rental company, Q-99.
These were positioned on two circular trusses with 4 and 8 metre diameters respectively, flown above the stage area.
The spherical trusses enabled the creation of circular movement around the competitors using the Beam 600s and 300s. When the time-limit for answering the questions started to tick, the ROBIN 600 Beams started strobing all adding to the tension and anticipation in the studio.
Kubanka said: "With 'Čo Ja Viem?!', on top of the basics, we needed to add these visual effects at specific points. We didn't need a massive amount of fixtures, so the 600 and 300 Beams and ColorSpot 1200s were chosen because they were just right as the best and most appropriate for the job."
Two grandMA2 full size consoles were used for control of lighting and video, operated by Michal Brna and Marek Krasňan, and Čo Ja Viem?! was directed by Tomáš Eibner. The DoP was Vladimir Ďurčanský.
Kubanka is Slovakia's top TV Lighting Designer / Director and has used Robe products in his work for many years.
