ATTV provided and managed all the visual graphics and final DVD editing while sound, staging and six Clay Paky Sharpies were supplied by Sound Headquarters. The lighting rig and screens was supplied by EPH Productions. The entire show attended by 5000 audience was recorded on HD cameras; supplied by Malaphati. Wizardry Group was briefed to supply a lighting system that needed to look good on any camera from any angle and to keep the set alive.
It was also Wizardry Groups' responsibility to integrate all the video images with the lighting cues to create one seamless show of visually pleasing scenes...for this Francois van der Merwe requested the grandMA Video Processing Unit.
