Jim Tetlow Lights the Way for the Chevy Volt and GM's Centennial Celebration

Lighting&Sound America Online - News: "How do you light a televised car reveal for a sunny, daylight premiere when your only chance to focus and tech is during a dark and rainy rehearsal? That was the challenge for Jim Tetlow, of Nautilus Entertainment Design, as lighting designer of the much-anticipated Chevy Volt car premiere. The event took place in the 40,000 sq. ft. Wintergarden Atrium of the GM Renaissance Center in Detroit, Michigan, which features a full glass back wall and a transparent glass ceiling looking out on the Detroit River and the bright, morning sun."

The premire presents many lighting challenges, not to mention the problems they had with the weather. I think it is an interesting contrast to see how much energy was put into lighting and electronics for the event when the show peice is an energy efficient car.
