Design

Design of Lighting, Set, Staging and Production. I can simply design just Lighting, or offer original, creative innovative ideas to Staging and Set, and also the way in which Video Content is conveyed.

Experience designing how video is conveyed has included the use of Projection onto a variety of surfaces, LED Screens, Stealth Screens, Plasma Screens and Musion Screens. Experience on the set/staging end includes Flying, Automation, Moving Platforms etc from a design angle.

Dimmer/Mains Man

Experience at all levels, ranging from Tours and Concerts at arena level and beyond, to Festival Main Stages, and general fun of running miles of socapex and powerlock around arenas.

Experience of building vast dimmer systems, on 'touring racks' 300+ dimmer channels plus moving lights etc. Experience of mains/data systems design on the huge scale, utilising Artnet, MA Net, Hog Net, DMX or whichever is the most sensible/appropiate.

Knowledge of the usual DP2000's, MA NSP's, Luminex Boxes, Artnet bits etc

Vast experience of Avolites Art 2000, 4000, FD Racks, ETC Sensor Racks and so on.

I have developed my own Spreadsheet system for balancing dimmers, creating loom lists, cable lists, patch lists etc

Using my fully owned versions of Vectorworks and/or AutoCAD, I am able to view Lighting Designs ahead of Prep Time, enabling me to produce Looms Lists, Patches etc ready for Day 1 at the warehouse.
