Billie Eilish makes spectacular Internet production illuminated by Robe

Under the creativity of the young artist and the specialist Moment Factory, the set of the recent Livestream Concert of their tour 'Where Do We Go’ has been configured with 48 Manufacturer's Esprites.

The young woman Billie Eilish has amazed the world for being more than a global musical phenomenon; your intelligence, empathy and honesty to address difficult topics and their many additional activities, such as fundraising for the team and technicians affected by the global cessation of live music and performance, do not leave indifferent to the thousands of teenagers who follow her.

The fertile collaboration with his brother Finneas, also a Grammy Award winner, and his contrasting and intricate works that connect with life, surreal and expression in an intelligent mix of art, reflection and boldness, has energized a huge and diverse fan base around the world.

The first world tour in a stadium, Where Do We Go, scheduled from March to September 2020 came to an abrupt halt after three shows over the health crisis, which took shape recently with its Livestream Concert, in which he gathered many talents from his acclaimed team.

Under the creative direction of Billie Eilish and the specialist Moment Factory, the whole team worked together on the script and staging of this impressive stream Xr, with paid viewing, who delighted his followers and illuminated the Internet both for his spectacular production and for the magical aura of Eilish.

Lighting designer and director Tony Caporale, of Infinitus Vox, based in Tennessee, he was working on the tour and also joined for the virtual live concert, collaborating with lighting director Madigan Stehly, of 22 Degrees, in collaboration with XR Studio.

The lighting team of the latter company set up a virtual scenario with 48 Steal Esprites, six of which worked with a RoboSpot system from this manufacturer, being the only lights that were used for this production, along with stunning XR graphics and images that transported artists and audiences through cities, incredible oceans and worlds during the performance.

Tony Caporale and Billie Eilish often work together on how to bring the artist's live performance visions to life., so the development of the show on the Internet followed this format.

"The process was a challenge for the concept of XR and we analyzed in detail the treatments and lighting effects that were most appropriate," says Caporale.. The main focus kept Billie well lit within their respective color preferences for each song., and then built looks that worked for the various XR environments".

Preventing light from leaking into video walls was crucial., so they carefully used specific lights that were hidden from certain camera angles in with some smoke and mirrors..

The physical configuration of the studio included substantial stage and floor space., with three large walls of Led video Roe Visual, together with the top lighting equipment, configured with the 48 Esprites plus a couple of additional floor fixtures for side lighting.

On the other side of the study was the FOH facility, socially distant, with workstations for lighting, audio, video, media servers, cameras, Directors, Etc. Esprites have become the favorite moving light for these network shows due to their optimal color temperature range, consistency, high characteristics of CRI and C-Pulse, all of them vital elements for any type of camera-based production.

Six Sprites (five at the front and one at the back of the studio) were controlled with two RoboSpot BaseStations placed at the top of the stage, right on the 'dimming beach' behind the video wall.

These six devices were responsible for the key lighting of the artist, but also for Finneas if he was on the move during the performance. The other Esprites were used to add details, textures and drama to the different XR spaces created for the show, from the creepy minimalist monochrome décor with a giant chandelier stalking Eilish, to the cinematic blue void of the deep ocean, which concluded with an animated shark.
