GLP JDC1 Joins The Party On New Spinal Tap II: The End Continues Movie

Filming of the comedy sequel Spinal Tap II used 200 GLP JDC1 hybrid strobe fixtures to recreate the fictional band’s over‑the‑top arena show. Lighting designer Mike Baldassari embraced a hexagon motif, creating a stage full of three‑sided trusses and using JDC1’s white and RGB cells to deliver powerful effects. The fixtures’ tilting front plate allowed angled wash and strobe looks, and the production team used pre‑visualisation software Parsec and Vectorworks to plan the sceneshttps://www.usitt.org/news/glp-jdc1-joins-party-new-spinal-tap-ii-end-continues-movie#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20most%20keenly,break%20for%20one%20final%20concerthttps://www.usitt.org/news/glp-jdc1-joins-party-new-spinal-tap-ii-end-continues-movie#:~:text=shapes%20it%20was%20the%20rectangular,%E2%80%9D.
