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

  • disguise programming — corporate, touring, projection mapping, interactive content/XR Volumes, 2.5D & more
  • lighting programming and pixel mapping, integration with video programming
