The Hexagon Rig

This rig would be the greatest beast of them all to put up everyday but perhaps parts of this idea are interesting to someone. The hexagon shape is prevalent throughout and the overhead truss is built with prerig truss and has a hexagon shaped soft goods in the middle to project lights on as shown in the photos.
I know the riser thing can be difficult as it effects how the musicians see each other and interact but I like to put one out there as its a way to stand out in festival situations and is a good cost effective way to add to a design. This much riser would take up half an additional truck and would need a set carpenter on tour with us. The risers are ringed with LED strip called the Sceptron.
The rigging situation would probably need us to travel with a touring rigger as well.
PixelPATT
The PixelPATT is one of a kind. RGB and Tungsten so it looks great on camera and can be used as a blinder
BMFL Blade
The premier Spot fixture and the best shutter system on the market. This allows the beam to be shaped into vertical or horizonal lines along with all the usual patterns and aspects of a modern moving light. BMFL stands for Bright Multi Function Luminaire but we all call it the BIG MOTHER FUCKING LIGHT.
MagicBlade FX
The Ayrton MagicBlade FX or the new Robe Tetra X are pretty much the same along with a cheaper Elation copy. These fixture types put out a nice defined blade of light and come with continuous rotation.
Robe Tarrantula
The Robe Tarrantula is the brightest LED Wash on the market and almost every vendor has some version of a large faced LED Wash. Could take lots of substitutions here to save money as long as its bright.
JDC1 Strobe
The JDC-1 has been the industry standard strobe for a few years now. This design doesn’t specifically rely on the tilt mechanism so any good quality LED strobe should work with a few notable exceptions. (No Atomic 3000 or Atomic LED Strobe)
4 Lite Mole
4 Lite Mole can be conventional or LED and in any configuration. All lighting vendors have some version of this light.
