You guys overawe me. I offer the following as some stuff I did about 10 years ago. For more views of the second show, look at Focus On the Shades. I'm using that as a kind of web based portfolio, since I'm trying to get back into design.

Just 5 from each. Some of the images in the second set are from DVD and some are from tungsten corrected slide film. I didn't have a digital camera at the time. Let me know what you think. Oh, the first picture in the second set is using the solitary light as a character. Very surreal show, that one...
Cheers.

More show photos!

I do mostly concert events, and shows.. some corporate

Did a local dance company's annual recital over the weekend. It was inside the ice rink, in the local mall. I believe that we were the biggest show they have ever had in the space. They had what I called the antiDock (flickr link), ramp from ice level to ground, then ramp into truck. Lighting, rigging, and staging was all my design; I also supervised the In, Run, and Out.

The rendering was made in Vectorworks. I've been drawing in 3d for a couple months now, and this is the first time I've done a rendering. I'm really happy with how it came out, and will be doing renderings more often.

Overnight they turned off the A/C in the mall, which then allowed condensation to gather on anything metal under the stage (flickr link). I came in the morning of day 2, and saw water dripping off my dimmers (flickr link) which were 10' under the stage. I brought in more cable, to move them to the outside of the deck and they were never as bad. Loadout was a wet, soggy mess.

I'm curious as to the Lighting Concept/Lighting Statement that would use small stars on stage right and huge stars on stage left?

The event is called night of shining stars and that section was done on short notice and those were the only stars we had In stock. So it was a lack of time/ afterthought addition

I know they're not exactly pictures, so I hope that doesn't disqualify me from this thread, but here are a couple of links to a show I just did on Friday.
Sachem East Broadway Night 2012: "21 Guns"- American Idiot - YouTube
Sachem East; Broadway Night 2012, Cell block tango - YouTube
It was my school's "Broadway Night" show, which is essentially just a student produced/choreographed/"designed" show where we perform numbers from Broadway musicals. The show is pulled along by a group of senior hosts who keep the flow with inside jokes and references, some of which can be pretty entertaining. The first link is us doing 21 Guns from American Idiot, and the second is Cell Block Tango from Chicago. In 21 Guns I'm the goofy looking kid with the glasses and the white button down shirt, and in Chicago I'm the third male dancer (I'm an awful dancer). But I did the lighting "design" too, which I put in quotes because it was incredibly simplistic and not too great. I basically did it in about an hour the day of the show. It's basically just red and blue back lighting from our 3rd border combined with cyc lighting on the back black traveler and front fill from our side beams. I'm actually surprised because I think it looks a lot cooler than I thought it would and I'm a sucker for some basic color washes. My life would be so much easier if we had LED borderlights like the other high school in our district, but unfortunately we're stuck with an assortment of Shakespeares and Star PARs, which don't do much for general lighting. But anyway, the show was put together with about 2 weeks of rehearsal so I hope you enjoy it for what it's worth!




I'm going to skip pictures and goto video.
Here I had a gopro on my head during setup.
