Pearl Jam: Live at Wrigley Field

Our challenge was to capture of the close out of the 2016 tour with a concert on historic Wrigley Field. With our longtime collaborator and friend, Kille Knobel, who served as lighting designer for this tour, we came in to provide production design. The overall look and feel of the design was sophisticated but natural and approachable fitting the band’s style. The primary scenic piece was an articulated scrap-metal bird which could be raised, lowered and angled on a TAIT-developed hoist that when combined with other visual elements gave a vintage vibe to the design. The band was touring both the US and Canada doing arena, festival and stadium shows to sold-out crowds. The DVD has yet to be released.

“The very, very first lighting gig I did was a pub tour with a band called Manfred Mann, and the lighting designer who was leaving me to run these shows on my own departed with this piece of sage advice; 
‘Red for the fast songs, blue for the slow ones and light the money.’”

Color Theory 101-
This week, let’s talk about Blue!

Associated with the right side of the brain, the color blue  is used extensively to represent calmness and responsibility. Light shades can be refreshing and friendly. Darker hues are more strong and reliable. It invokes feelings of security and structure, instilling comfort and stimulating creativity and intuition. This intimate shade could be utilized in common or creative spaces, helping to encourage open-mindedness and introduce thoughtful conversation.

Open
“Nimblist is a culture of collaboration, design thinkers, problem solvers and caring humans who sweat the details while still being able to have a good laugh.”

Our Vice President of Production, Scott Schecter, is definitely some of the glue holding Nimblist together. Inspired into the field by his brother, who took him to see Yes, Emerson Lake, and Palmer for his first concert in 1971, he went on tour for the first time in 1986 with Grover Washington Jr, continuing on for the next six years with them playing venues of all sorts from jazz clubs, to stadiums, to festivals. Following that, he backed up Billy Heaslip as Lighting Director on Donna Summer Japan and North America tours in the early 90’s. The rest is history!

Thank you Scott, for everything you do here at Nimblist. We love you!

Color Theory 101-

‘Purple light has a wonderfully tactile quality. I feel like I can reach out and touch it, wrap people up in it...’

This week we’d like to talk about Justins’ favorite color.. Purple!

Purple is associated with spirituality, it helps align oneself with the whole of the universe. Different shades, tints, and hues of the color purple have different meanings. For example, light purple hues represent feminine energy and delicacy, as well as romantic and nostalgic feelings. Dark purple hues evoke feelings of gloom, sadness, and frustration. Brighter hues suggest riches, decadence, and royalty. We can utilize these shades to bring about different moods in different spaces, adding purple accents or lighting in a room or space can influence the energy and feeling associated with it.

Open
“I always wanted to distinguish [Nimblist] as a singular design environment, as opposed to a collection of designers working on one project. That element of design should be a singular thing.”

Nimblist President and co-founder Justin Collie believes in the collaboration of artists bringing the audience together for one genuine experience after another, pulling a complex array of components into a seamless display.

“We do care about the world, it’s not all about just making money for us.  I feel a huge urgency with our current economy and society and how it needs to change in ways that we understand.”

Infatuated with the bigger picture, our Nimblist CEO and co-founder Doug “Spike” Brant is always looking for ways to make an impact on our rapidly changing social climate through his art.

Open
“Spike and I were living parallel lives, doing the same thing at the same time… I got braver as a designer with someone by my side.” 

Brought together on the “Hysteria” Tour in 1987, Nimblist co-founders Justin Collie and Doug “Spike” Brant both realized their shared eye for design through common inspiration, esteemed Lighting designer LeRoy Bennet. Understanding that they were attracted to the same elements of design and similar world views led to the partnership of a lifetime, debuting their first professional collaboration in 1999 on the Korn “Family Values” tour.
