Aurora Supports Lip Sync Battle UK

Aurora has kitted out the the performance area for Lip Sync Battle UK, the new celebrity show from Channel 5. The show, which sees different celebrities battle it out in a 'lip sync' each week, is a spin-off of the hit American version.
Alongside gaffer James Tinsley and Lighting Director Gurdip Mahal, Aurora transformed the performance area with a range of Vari Lite fixtures including VL500, 2000 and 3000s to add colour and movement across the stage. Clay Paky Mythos' were added for their pin sharp spots and powerful beam ability, along with Martin's Viper Performance for its framing, ideal for key lighting the celebrities in action.
Martin Rush Pars, SGM P5 and Phillips E Strips were woven in and around the set, highlighting the set pieces and providing the lighting director with the ability to shift seamlessly between the show's 'live' performances, introductory links and subjective comment from Professor Green's 'DJ' booth. ETC Source 4's and RJ Alex fixtures ensured the performers remained in the spotlight throughout.
Aurora worked with set designer Matthew Weekes and TV Electrician Alan Doolan to create a look that remained similar to that found on the US version of the show. The installation remained under the eye of Board Operator Ross Williams.
Nick Edwards, Aurora Managing Director, said: "It's always exciting to be supporting a brand new show, particularly when its following on from major success overseas. The intricate use of set practicals has been a challenge but I know that we are in safe hands with Gurdip and his team taking care of proceedings."
