Lighting, show and production design company Painting with Light has created and installed a spectacular lighting and video design plus lighting control for the 2020 Belgian edition of Het Rad van Fortuin (Wheel of Fortune).
During the summer of 2020 this quiz show is broadcasted daily on VIER, based on a popular and proven formula.
Painting with Light worked in conjunction with Genk C-Mine neighbour Deusjevoo, which designed and delivered the set. In six weeks, the teams developed a totally new creative concept and vibrant set design with substantial quantities of inbuilt custom LED lighting. The wheel lighting and audio trigger control were also completely redesigned. Some aesthetics referred to the classic Wheel of Fortune style book, which has been adapted and contemporised over the years since first launching in the US in 1975.
Luc Peumans, CEO at Painting with Light, said: “Our team was very pleased with this project as there are many others cancelled or on hold in the events industry due to the coronavirus. Yet it was still a major challenge to amass all the equipment and particularly the scenic and custom assets with stages of the lockdown still ongoing and so many companies having furloughed employees and running part-time with a skeleton staff.
“We are very pleased to have pulled it off in a short period, together with our valued partners, contributing to a great entertaining show for many to enjoy during their staycation.”
