technical equipment dry hire
freelance lighting & video programmer
I programme disguise media servers (formerly d3) and lighting consoles for live shows — touring, festivals, corporate, broadcast and theatre. The work runs from building the project and pre-visualising it long before load-in, through screen mapping and timeline programming on site, to a show file the crew can run every night without me.
Based in the UK, working wherever the show is. I also dry hire production equipment — media servers, consoles and show networking — and write software for the industry, including the free openEncoder transcoder that turns delivery masters into the codecs media servers actually want.
what I'm brought in for
