Tien om te zien 2022
Tien Om Te Zien (TOTZ) is a music programme on Flemish commercial TV channel VTM. This hugely successful programme originally ran from 1989 to 2008 and, after brief returns in 2014 and 2021, it was picked up again for a full summer season of eight episodes in 2022. Not only the Dutch-language hits were given a place on stage, but top international acts also travelled to Westende. The comeback in 2021 was such a great success so the programme continued again in the summer of 2022, with a live audience. PWL provided a varied and breathtaking light show with an intense experience for the live audience, as well as TV viewers.
Challenge
PWL was asked to create a lighting design for this popular TV show. Luc designed the lighting taking into account the original tensile stage structure being used, this was not always easy as the tensile has few hanging options for fixtures. In addition, this show had to pop for the audience present, as well as be suitable for the TV broadcast. The filming started in daylight so the light show had to be powerful, both in daylight and at night.
Result
PWL provided a varied and breathtaking light show with an intense experience for the live audience, as well as TV viewers. Each week, 10 songs were recorded and programmed during the day. Luc chose to use a new tool, the Luxibel B Blast Pro. This is an exciting and original tool due to its powerful white LEDs, which was needed to outshine daylight. The combination of the pixel-controlled two RGB strips and the white power LEDs created atmospheric and dynamic backgrounds with powerful white effects. Due to the varied line-up of artists, a flexible lighting design was used that created a lot of impact. It was a more than successful edition! Meanwhile, it is confirmed that it will happen again in 2023 with a new look.
