Astera Adds Festive Sparkle for Helene Fischer Christmas Special TV Show Germany – Nearly 500 Astera AX3 LightDrop wireless battery-powered LED fixtures were utilised for a show-stopping Weihnachtsshow (Christmas Show) special broadcast by popular German singer, dancer and entertainer, Helene Fischer.
Essential elements of the show broadcast on Christmas Day were recorded at the vast Halle 6 of Dusseldorf Messe, complete with a stunning production lighting designed by award-winning LD, Tim Routledge.
Due to coronavirus restrictions and the relatively short lead-time in which these segments of the show had to be produced, neither Tim nor acclaimed camera director Paul Dugdale (also based in the UK) could physically be there in person. So, to ensure that the lighting design was installed and ran smoothly, Tim brought German LD Michael Kuehbandner onboard as lighting director to oversee the project in Dusseldorf.
