Visual Productions' CueCore3 and Kiosc Apps Make Lighting Control Easy in 'Monster Jam'’

Feld Entertainment implements the CueCore3 lighting controller Visual Productions and Kiosc control application, in order to create a compact yet powerful control platform to easily manage tour lighting live motorsports 'Monster Jam'.

To Chuck Weber, Feld Entertainment Senior Director of Lighting Operations, the lighting of Monster Jam It's not just a show, but a fundamental communication system that guides drivers throughout races, the stunts and recovery moments during each event. To update the old pilot signaling system used at events around the world, They now have CueCore3 as main controller.

“All effects are programmed separately on an MA Lighting grandMA console 3 y, next, we recorded those scenes in the CueCore3. From there, everything is activated via OSC commands from the Kiosc app running on Apple iPads”, explica Weber. .

for years, the pilots of Monster Jam They used a simple three-light system to indicate the start and finish of the races.. Although functional, configuration offered limited flexibility for constantly evolving production. According to Weber, “we wanted to modernize it and give the team more adaptability. The original system basically worked like a traffic light. The first yellow light tells the pilots to start the engines, and a second yellow light indicates that they have reached the starting line, because from inside the trucks Monster Jam It's hard to see where that line really is.. Next, a green light signals the start of the race”.
