Painting with Light

Painting with Light is a team of professional lighting and multimedia experts who design and produce visual experiences that dazzle & shine.

By combining lighting, video, scenic and architectural elements, sound and special effects we tell stories, create emotion and give your audience an experience that they will always remember.

Our Visual Design Studio offers you a one-stop shopping experience. From first design to construction, Painting with Light combines it's creative expertise with the technical knowledge for your event or project.

1. Concept Design

After a briefing and a brainstorming session, we start on the design process. We create the lighting concept and illustrate this in drawings. We present the concept to you in graphical images, based on Photoshop visuals or ‘What You See Is What You Get' 3D models. The visuals are always as close as possible to what it will look like in reality.

2. Technical Design

We transform the design concept into realistic possibilities in order to guarantee the result. We check which technical solutions are most suitable, and if the marketplace doesn't have an answer, we will develop a custom made lighting device. We can perform tests installation in our studio to check the possibilities and verify in if we have achieved the desired result. We make a temporary estimation of the design and installation costs and the energy consumption. We also calculate the available subsidies for energy saving interventions. We provide a tailor-made optimisation of the selected armatures and the control of the lighting and / or multimedia installation. It's also possible to work out a full system integration programme, even if the installation is not designed by us.

3. Final Design/Content Design

After the approval we make the necessary light calculations based on photometric data from the manufacturer, and if needed we can create new visuals in 2 or 3D of the actual design. We deliver a file with all the useful design documentation, including layouts, obligatory technical documents, assembly manuals and the necessary cable and driver diagrams. If needed we can provide a full spec document for tenders. We can also help you with reviewing and offering advice in the quotes from the contractors. We also have a team of multimedia specialists, including graphic designers who will deliver the required content.

4. Project Management - Installation - Programming

Depending on the project and the relevant knowledge or experience, we can engage in the complete installation or part/s of the process. During the installation we provide a dedicated project manager, who will attend the site meetings, undertake regular reporting and co-ordinate 'the bigger picture'. Our team of professional and talented programmers will guarantee the programming and the control aspects of the system/s and create the desired ambience and experience.

5. Delivery, Training and After-Sales Service

We provide a full range of services with the delivery, including a review of the files as-built, and overview of the maintenance contracts. We provide all necessary documentation and manuals. We can also provide custom training sessions for the operation and the maintenance of the systems as required.

Painting with Light worked closely for the co-creation with their Genk C-Mine neighbor Deusjevoo, who designed and installed the decor. In just six weeks, the teams developed a totally new creative concept with a vibrant and colorful setting, including a large amount of built-in and custom LED lighting elements. Also the lighting of the wheel itself and the audio control have been completely redesigned. Some aesthetic aspects still refer to the classic style book of the Wheel of Fortune, which has since been adapted since its launch in America in 1975. Colorful and lively show program During the program the participants have to solve puzzles with which they can win cash and prizes. At the center of all the action is a giant three-meter diameter spinning wheel that participants must spin during the game to determine cash or prizes. The Wheel of Fortune has been around for a while in Belgium, but this is the first season produced by SBS. The producers wanted a fresh and distinctive look, elegant and stylish yet with a homely touch. Painting with Light opted for a more theatrical approach by creating sets that stand on their own but together form a coherent whole and radiate homely cosiness. As part of the decor, there is a long entrance path along one side of the studio. Along the side there are tables with chairs for the audience that look out on the huge LED puzzle board and the wheel, which acts as a visual focal point. The participants stand around the table behind the wheel at a sufficient distance from each other. The three 'shops' comprise an extensive shop window where all prices are displayed. Each time, these are elegantly revealed by a flowy curtain, one of which consists of silk and two of transparent voile to absorb and reflect the light. As with the other parts of the décor, the team opted for a layered approach here too, so that the light can be applied both additive and separately. As an extra touch of refinement, the decor was finished with pixel-controlled LED lighting in key areas such as stairs, table and the wheel itself. The Rad is equipped with a large number of RGB and white light sources. Painting with Light designed a laser sensor system on the 72 handles of the wheel, which are used by the participants to turn it manually. This system controls the visual and auditory effects in perfect harmony with every movement. These help build tension at crucial game moments. An impressive arsenal of light strips, rings, spots and lamps illuminate the wheel, the shop windows, floor, curtains, puzzle board and side panels. These differ in size and follow a predetermined matrix for light angles, backlighting and brightness. The atmosphere can vary from funky to cozy through the use of warm or bright and specific colors, as well as the application of special lighting effects. Both the organizers and installers are very satisfied with the result, namely a colorful and lively environment of an unprecedented level for such a seasonal program. Luc Peumans, CEO Painting with Light, comments: “Our team was very pleased with this project as so many others were canceled or postponed due to the corona virus. However, it remained a challenge to obtain and install all parts as many companies in the events sector work with reduced staff numbers. We are proud with our team and partners to achieve such a result in such a short period of time. In this way we also contribute to a relaxing summer for the many fellow countrymen who spend their holidays here. ”

Painting with Light werkte nauw samen voor de co-creatie met hun Genkse C-Mine buur Deusjevoo, die het decor uittekende en installeerde. In slechts zes weken tijd ontwikkelden de teams een totaal nieuw creatief concept met levendige en kleurrijke setting, inclusief een omvangrijke hoeveelheid ingebouwde en op maat gemaakte LED verlichtingselementen. Ook de belichting van het Rad zelf en de audio controle werd volledig herontworpen. Sommige esthetische aspecten verwijzen nog naar het klassieke stijlboek van het Rad van Fortuin, dat ondertussen werd aangepast sedert de lancering in 1975 in Amerika.

Kleurrijk en levendig showprogramma

Tijdens het programma moeten de deelnemers puzzels oplossen waarmee ze dan cash en prijzen kunnen winnen. In het midden van alle actie prijkt een gigantisch draaiwiel van drie meter doorsnede waaraan de deelnemers moeten draaien tijdens het spel om cash of prijzen te bepalen.

Het Rad van Fortuin gaat al even mee in België maar dit is het eerste seizoen geproduceerd door SBS. De producenten wilden een frisse en onderscheidende look, elegant en stijlvol maar toch met een huiselijke toets. Painting with Light koos voor een meer theatrale benadering door het creeren van sets die op zichzelf staan maar toch samen een coherent geheel vormen en huiselijke gezelligheid uitstralen. Als onderdeel van het decor is er een lang inkompad langs de ene kant van de studio. Langs de zijkant zijn er tafeltjes met stoelen voor het publiek opgesteld die uitkijken op het enorme LED puzzelbord en het Rad, die fungeert als visueel focuspunt.

De deelnemers staan rond de tafel achter het wiel op voldoende afstand van elkaar. De drie ‘winkels’ omvatten een uitgebreide etalage waar alle prijzen zijn uitgestald. Deze worden telkens elegant onthuld door een zwierig gordijn, een ervan bestaat uit zijde en twee uit transparante voile om het licht te absorberen en reflecteren. Net zoals voor de andere delen van het décor, koos het team hier ook voor een gelaagde aanpak zodat het licht zowel additief als apart kan worden toegepast.

Als extra toets van verfijning, werd het decor afgewerkt met pixelgestuurde LED verlichting op de belangrijkste plaatsen zoals trappen, tafel en het Rad zelf. Het Rad is voorzien van een groot aantal RGB en witte lichtbronnen. Painting with Light ontwierp een laser sensorsysteem op de 72 handgrepen van het Rad, die door de deelnemers worden gebruikt om het manueel te laten draaien. Dit systeem stuurt de visuele en auditieve effecten aan, in perfecte harmonie bij elke beweging. Deze helpen mee de spanning op te bouwen bij cruciale spelmomenten.

Een indrukwekkend arsenaal aan lichtstrips, ringen, spots en lampen belichten het Rad, de etalages, vloer, gordijnen, puzzelbord en zijpanelen. Deze verschillen in grootte en volgen een vooraf bepaalde matrix voor lichthoeken, backlighting en helderheid. De sfeer kan varieren van funky tot gezellig door het gebruik van warme of heldere en specifieke kleuren, alsook de toepassing van speciale lichteffecten. Zowel de organisatoren als installateurs zijn zeer tevreden over het resultaat, namelijk een kleurrijke en levendige omgeving van ongekend niveau voor dergelijk seizoensprogramma.

Luc Peumans, CEO Painting with Light, licht toe: “Ons team was zeer tevreden met dit project gezien er zovele andere werden geannuleerd of uitgesteld door het coronavirus. Maar het bleef toch een uitdaging om alle onderdelen te verkrijgen en te installeren gezien vele bedrijven in de eventssector met gereduceerde personeelsbestanden werken. We zijn trots met ons team en partners dergelijk resultaat neer te zetten in zo’n korte tijdsspanne. Zo dragen we toch ook wat bij aan een ontspannende zomer voor de vele landgenoten die hier hun vakantie doorbrengen.”
