Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium hosted the much hyped UFC 193 event with the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship bout between then champion Ronda Rousey and former 18-time boxing world champion in three weight classes Holly Holm, the big drawcard.
Chameleon Touring Systems supplied lighting and crew and it was a massive job for just thirteen fights in one day. Set up took eight days of very long hours for the twelve lighting crew and the riggers certainly earned a mention.
There were 200 points, 30k of Socapex cable, 20k of motor cable, two 70m cable bridges each double box runs, 10k of truss, twenty 48 way distro dimmers in catwalks, and close to 1000 lighting fixtures.
The rig, designed and operated by Jason Eible, included 14 x Martin Professional MAC700, 12 x MAC2000 Wash, 16 x MAC Viper Profile, 16 x MAC Viper DX Wash, 5 x MAC Aura, 48 x Clay Paky Mythos and 8 x Sharpy.
Chamelon crew: Shaun Cook, Simmo, Danny North, Sos Ritchie, Greg Davies, Matt Downs, Tim Beeston, Andi Greenhall, Max the Rigger, Dwayne and Chris Bolt.
