Live Design Online: On Sunday, February 9, High End Systems Zeo fixtures lit up the much-anticipated halftime show in New Orleans. Among the talented crew who put on the world-class show were Lighting Designer Al Gurdon, Lighting Director Ben Green of 22 Degrees, Gaffer Alen Sisul, Moving Light Programmer and Lighting Designer Mark Humphrey of TruCreative Design, and Moving Light Programmer and Lighting Director Eric Marchwinski of Earlybird Visual. The lighting package was supplied by PRG.

Reading about how the High End Systems Zeo lit up the halftime show got me thinking—lighting design is basically stage makeup for a performance space. Just like a good contour can change a face, the right lighting angles can totally reshape the way we experience a live event. The designers here weren’t just aiming for something bright and beautiful; they wanted drama, contrast, and intensity—which honestly sounds a lot like how cinematographers approach film noir. The way they described the Zeo fixtures—this monolithic, synchronized light system that matches the beats instead of just adding "sparkle"—reminded me of theatrical set design. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling right. The use of smoke with lighting? That’s classic theater magic. It makes everything feel bigger, more atmospheric, more immersive—like how fog on a stage can turn a simple set into something mythical.
