Lighting Design – National / International
In addition to winning in the sports set design category, the MLB on TNT studio set won the top slot in the national and international division of the lighting design category. The lighting design, from The Lighting Design Group, artfully combines integrated lighting in the scenic design, while standard grid lighting creates subtle splashes of textural lighting across the floor.
Honorable Mentions: Imagen TV from Flint Skallen, NBC Democracy Plaza from The Lighting Design Group, NBC Olympics from The Lighting Design Group, ELeague from The Lighting Design Group and NHL Rink from FLDA
Lighting Design – Local
In the local category for lighting design, WAVE in Louisville, Kentucky, from FX Design Group, won. The set’s multiple surfaces, including clean wood panels, matte grays and textured stone all created lighting design challenges — but the final light plot balances lighting both talent and the scenery effectively.
Honorable Mentions: WAVY by Angry Badger Productions and WHIO by FX Design Group
