PRG & the Super Bowl Halftime Show
iSquint.net: "More and more Press Releases are rolling in from this years Super Bowl Halftime Show. Again, this is something I normally do not write about he. But this years Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring The Who was spectacular! If you watched the Halftime Show, I am sure you were like me and wondered how they put this all together. PRG (Production Resource Group), just issued a Press Release that goes over some of the details that Lighting Designer, Al Gurdon did to create such a wonderful Halftime Show."

It is great to hear how they do the lighting for the Super Bowl. I did not know that they would spend time in London of all places to program the half time show. I guess that this studio allows them to see what the show will look like in a computer world. This would have given them a huge advantage if they had the show pretty much programmed going into the space. The console that they used seemed like it was a great tool for them allowing them to mesh the cues. It seems like PRG has the things together to do these types of events. It would be interesting to hear more about events like this and how they do them.
I think it is fascinating how the tech world wants to know so much about
this particular show. I mean, I understand why. It was a huge show, very
limited load in and tech time, that turned out absolutely amazing. It is a
true testament to the fact that with enough money, the most amazing things
are possible. I just hope next year's show can compete.
