Services

I can step in for one part or take on the whole job: from first drawing to final show.

01

Design

Lighting plots in 2D and 3D, with renders in Depence. You see in advance what the audience will see.

  • 2D CAD drawings
  • 3D renders and previs video
  • Fixture choice and budget

02

Programming

Pre-programming in my previs studio.

  • grandMA3
  • Timecode and timelines
  • Video through ArKaos MediaMaster

03

Operating

Behind the desk during the show. On tour, on a musical that runs for months, or at a corporate event.

  • Touring
  • Corporate events
  • One-off shows and musicals

The previs studio

This is where the show exists before a single fixture is hung. The 3.7 metre screen shows the 3D render at full size, driven live by the grandMA3. That saves days on site, and so money.

Where

  • Touring

    A show that has to stand in a different venue every night. Quick to adapt, same result every time.

  • Corporate events

    Conferences, company parties, product launches.

  • One-off shows

    One night, no second chance. Like Rock the Opera.

  • Musicals and theatre

    Long runs where the show has to be exactly right every night.
