Description

20 + years experience as Console Operator in Film, TV and Commercials coming from a background in Live Events and Touring for the 15 years previous to that.
I have my own GrandMA lighting systems including a console for primarily Studio work with Luminex Networking Systems to interface with most modern studio setups.
I also have a Peli Case system for smaller studios / Locations work. This includes remote Tablet Access to the control system which allows me to move around set with the Gaffer and DOP.
I can also supply wireless DMX control and transmitters/receivers as required which proves very useful for last minute adjustments and changes.


Special Interests

I've recently been involved with quite a lot of work in Volume Stages where the lighting rig has been merged with a video feed to provide environmental lighting to a high precision.

The largest of these was on Masters of the Air in Aylesbury but they are becoming more popular on Band 3 and even Band 2 dramas as the technology becomes more stable and economically available.
