PeteViz
Venue time for lighting programming and rehearsals are scarce (and expensive) in these current times of ever tightening budgets and venue bookings often resulting in shows and events running back-to-back, leaving little room to be creative “in the space”. For some time now I’ve been pre-programming production lighting fully virtually for many of my shows by connecting lighting consoles to 3D visualisers with full mockups of the stage, sets and production lighting responding in real time to the lighting console. Typically this setup is ad-hoc, requiring setting up all the bits and pulling it apart to get back to ‘office mode’.
Introducing ‘PeteViz’, a studio space I have created to provide a fully featured, but most importantly comfortable space to pre-visualise your next show in.
There is space for the whole creative production team to sit, discuss and enjoy the presentation. I will be offering this service to all of my clients to elevate their experience in the creative process and I also extend the invitation to other LD’s and production teams to use the space by appointment. Below are a few features of PeteViz that I hope you’ll find inviting, please get in touch if you’d like to know more or if you’d like to book a session.
