Robe gets fired upfor BravoCon Live

BravoCon Live with Andy Cohen is a supersized, five‐episode televised event in the spirit of Andy’s nightly talk show WWHL (Watch What Happens Live). The event was presented by Embassy Row Productions in conjunction with NBCUniversal at PH Live in – where else? – Las Vegas! This was lit and production designed by John Viesta – president and principal designer of design studio Infinite Designs Inc.. To keep all that energy pumping, he included a serious amount of Robe moving lights among other fixtures on his lighting rig, in the form of 48 x iFORTES, 134 x iFORTE LTXs, 3 x iFORTE LTX Follow Spots and 22 x Tetra1s. The design and lighting needed to capture the excitement and thrill of pacey live televisual moments, combined with the drama and spectacle of large‐scale theater, as BravoCon featured 29 panels streamed on Peacock – available the day after the live presentations in Las Vegas – while separately, Andy Cohen recorded 5 episodes of BravoCon Live with Andy Cohen. It was a truly full‐tilt environment where all involved in the production needed to be constantly on their toes.

Working alongside John on BravoCon was an incredibly talented team, including his Infinite Designs colleagues, Tyler M. Perry, who looked after the scenic design and Ben Travis, who was the technical supervisor. The lighting director was Greg Goff; Josh Selander was lighting director / programmer, John Salzmann was the gaffer, with Tom Thayler as associate gaffer, and the best boy was Eric Kaspersin.
