Had an absolutely great day yesterday lighting up Feeder and Razorlight covering for both and .jpg respectively.
My biggest two shows to date and all in one day. I'm so grateful to be working the job I've wanted to do since I was a child, really is a dream come true 🎆

Sticking to my roots in media, I'm proud to say that thanks to the help of many of my extremely talented colleagues. We've recently installed a PTZ camera rig that I've been manning for shows that require IMAG with bands such as: DMAS, The Darkness, Alestorm and Potter Payper to name a few...

All of this is complimented by brand new 98" (very heavy) screens that were installed alongside.

With glowing reviews all round I think this project was a great success and can't wait to see the system used more and more often.

Throwback to 2023 Freshers!

I never made a post about this but I'm particularly proud of this.

"Project A.V.A"

Otis Fidel Benjamin came to me with an idea to help create a theatrical takeover of a nightclub using the latest in animation, video display systems and lighting technology. Together with him and the very talented James from we brought Ava to life for thousands of Freshers. An experience for both them and us to never forget.

Software I used:

Ableton - Audio production
Premier Pro/After effects - Compiling and colour grading
Resolume - Playback and mapping

Rig design - Otis & Jordan Lane

Team Freshers 2023 LX - Mark J Merry , Owen Want , Otis, Jordan and myself

Animation - James ()

Audio production - Josh Mortazavi & Myself

Compilation & Mapping - Myself

Until next year 🫡

Another weird milestone in my career. I started listening to the band in 2018 when I was still doing A-levels and wondering if/how I was going to get my dream job as a Lighting Engineer

They became one of my all time favourite bands over the years and I really wanted to see them live. 5 years of ups and downs later here I am. Watching them live for the first time but not only that... Doing their lights aswell!

Dream come true ❤️

I'm excited to announce that a new attraction I have been working on at Laser Quest Coventry will be opening in 2021! We've worked through lockdown to create a great experience ready for when we can all go out and enjoy ourselves post lockdown!

What seems to be a normal golf course has many hidden secrets and effects. No spoilers though, you will have to go and face the space monster in person...

There's no way Leicesters music scene can afford to let The Shed close. This venue is home to many upcoming musicians and technicians. I wouldn't be where I am now without them. No chance. People need the shed and the government needs to support local venues. When this blows over everyone that's been stuck at home should get out the house and discover local talent because we all sure as hell need your support ❤️

I'm happy to announce that I'm working with IEscape Loughborough to create a set of escape rooms that will ignite all 5 of your senses, scare you silly and make you truly question what an escape room is.

I'm aiming to build the most technologically advanced escape room in the area using a mixture of automated systems and live technical operation!

Watch this space and go follow IEscape Loughborough. Share their post if you want to have a chance at winning free entry to the launch party!
