Elation Smarty Hybrids illuminate 50th annual GMA Dove Awards

Mark Carver, lead designer at Carver Lighting Design, based in Nashville, turned to Elation’s Smarty Hybrid moving head to help the GMA Dove Awards celebrate their 50th anniversary.

The show was held October 15th at Nashville’s Lipscomb University. With multiple awards to hand out and 20 performances to light across both a main and satellite stage, Carver - who has lit the awards show for the last few years - says diversity in looks was essential. “The Smarty Hybrids were the main workhorse fixture on the show,” he states.

Distributed across multiple levels on what the designer calls eye-candy trusses, 64 of the CMY color-mixing Smarty fixtures were sprinkled throughout the set, intertwined with set piece ladders and also used as an audience surround. Mostly used for beam and gobo looks, the designer also turned to the multi-functional moving heads for color accents.

One of the designer’s favorite looks was a narrow beam look that transitioned from amber to teal green, with another favorite a gobo look for artist Riley Clemmons in peach and magenta. Bandit Lites supplied lighting for the show.
