  Lighting Designer/Programmer

  This job required me to create a lighting design for a amateur group. As these productions always have a tight turn around, I put together a lighting plan to make the amateurs production of Oliver become so much more alive. I drafted a lighting plan and gave my team members a copy to follow. This rig mainly contained LED Lighting fixtures and moving heads, however I put in some generics to do gobos which came from behind, as well as a lot of side light. As this production didn't have much tech time I am happy with the result of how the set, stage and cast looked under my lighting design. Show less

  Production Electrician (Panto Sleeping Beauty)

  Ensuring all deadlines are made and the panto rig was ready for the arrival of the lighting designer. During pre-production week I had the task to rig all the led tape and drivers to the set. This Involved soldering various lengths of tape together to create the desired length. This particular job took a lot of work but the end result was well worth all the work put in. During plotting sessions I was on hand to assist the LD in any thing which needed changing in the rig or anything to see to any equipment which wasn't working. Show less
