“The backlight and overhead Pepsi blue and red light were done with five Sola Frame LED moving heads and a laser prism projector overhead. Behind the set, which Gaspare De Pascali again built, I had three jumbo multi-source in the background. The white piano delivered enough bounce light on the piano player. I especially like how the diopter created an almost anamorphic-like distortion of the lines on the right side of the set.”
