AREAS of FOCUS
Lighting Design – Live Stage, Film production, Outdoor events, I-Mag, Television.
Ironically, Lighting Design often becomes the “unseen element” within a successful production. When the lighting truly meets the needs of the event, no one notices the instruments highlighting the areas of focus. Professional experience in all applications of lighting systems offer me the ability to develop a plan for your event which will not only provide the requisite illumination but also allow for the “Wow” factor which truly brings the visual element into sharper focus.
Production Management
Having someone to serve as a point of central coordination from project conception through event completion is absolutely essential to the success of any event. I offer project management services, developed through experience coordinating everything from a “One-Off” event to a multi-city tour. With experience coordinating events on all levels, including technical production, décor and scenic providers, budgetary committees, Transportation and D.O.T. standards, facility management, as well as the ever-important back up plan, we provide a one stop shopping solution to ensuring that the details of your don’t slip through the cracks.
Production Design
Every event has a vision, and a concept of creation which not only presents a cohesive appearance of all design elements, but also draws the audience in, allowing them to truly take part in the event, rather than merely witness it. My experience in developing and working with multiple teams of scenic professionals grants me the skills and perspective necessary to assist any client, on any budget to realize their vision of what their event can become, even if they are really certain what that is when the project begins.
CAD Drafting & Rendering
When planning a professional event, the largest margin of separation can be found in the production drafting. No matter the size of the event, having clearly defined CADs of the various elements involved ensures that each department has the blue-prints to follow which gives you the edge in completing a project on time, on budget, and with the highest regard for the safety of the staff and attendees. My experience in presenting plans for review by licensing and permitting departments, rigging teams, and event staff as a whole, allow me to offer my clients the security of knowing that their event will have the drafts that they need in order to see the scope of the event as a whole, and to execute those elements with precision.
Scenic Design
Often times an event design features custom elements intended to portray a themed fascade which captures the spirit of the function. I offer the background and experience needed to develop these elements from a scribble on a notebook page to a fully realized aspect of your event.
Technical Engineering
In some cases an event comes together, and you find that the only thing you are lacking is the individual needed to operate the technical equipment required to present your show. In those cases I can offer proficiency at any station on the event floor. The mark of a seasoned professional is the knowledge of not just the equipment, but its application. The protocols of event operation dictate the usage of the gear, and the technical capability of the operator dictates the seamless functionality. I provide engineering and operations services in multiple capacities including:
Lighting Programming & Operation
FOH Audio – Analog & Digital
Video Engineering
Projection
Graphics Operation
Switch Control
Camera Operation
Stage Management
Content Development
Event production relies heavily on the usage of proprietary content. Whether the event highlights an accomplishment, releases new information, or simply promotes an aspect of a clients business, the content developed for the production gives the substance behind the presentation. I offer video, audio and presentation development at any stage of the process, to include editing, recording, voice-over, and static field creation such as PowerPoint. Additionally, with the highest respect for the sensitive nature of my clients materials, security and non-disclosure are at the forefront of every project.
