Behind Every Great Show Is a Creative Mind!

At CAST, we're constantly inspired by the incredible creativity of the lighting designers and programmers who use to bring their ideas to life.

Every design, every lighting look, and every production reminds us why we do what we do.

Today, we're excited to showcase the work of Francisco Rodríguez, who worked on the lighting design and programming for the Chevignon fashion show with Ruven Afanador at Colombiamoda 2026 in Medellín, Colombia.

Designed using WYSIWYG, the production featured 50 Claypaky X Frame fixtures and 50 Robe iFORTE fixtures, all controlled using grandMA3.

We're proud to be part of your creative journey, providing the tools and support you need to keep exploring, experimenting, and pushing creative boundaries.

To Francisco and all the talented professionals who trust WYSIWYG and share their work with us, thank you for letting us be part of what you create!

Keep creating.
