Speaking of accent, René says, "I used a gold
paint that is actually $100 a gallon from Modern
Masters. It's a great paint. They mix it themselves;
it paints beautifully and looks fantastic. We used
it sparingly in small quantities for some of the
molding on the Papal throne and the various
chairs."
The overnight reset from the concert to the
Sunday mass was a huge challenge. There were
nine hours in which to strike the LED wall, the
orchestra and all the other related gear before
any of the risers could be placed on stage. The
finishing touches came from Ted Resnick of Event
Carpet and twenty carpet layers who transformed
the plywood into a white pallet. Then, Pennacora
Flowers of Philadelphia did their magic and
helped make the scene even more spectacular. In
fact, 95% of the scenic work was done by 7:15
AM. René admits, "It was a rough one; I was there
twenty-one hours straight."
When Lagler had one of his early meetings on
the project, he noticed that there wasn't a lighting
designer of record, so he made a list. Lighting
designers Ted Wells and Dave Thibodeau of Los
Angeles-based Full Flood Inc. were available and
came on board immediately. René says, "We know
each other and we're good friends, so that was
great and worked out really well." ADG
