back-lighting setup
control stationI was back at the Edison this week to work on lighting for a music video shoot. We broke out the LED PAR38s and 56s, a couple of scanners, the LED fresnels, strobe and the little red/green lasers; also used some of the house's ellipsoidals. Control was through a couple of DMX controllers plus a custom Max patch that I modified on-site as required

film/video work 2001-2007

Many of my corporate/commercial projects over the years have involved video production of one sort or another, but the more interesting work that I've done - in my opinion - has been for screenings and performances in galleries and entertainment venues. My reel from this era is here.

vs3 touchscreen rig with Roland V4 mixerVS3: realtime visual synthesis - a visual instrument based on the architecture/approach of a music synthesizer: original images are created in a performance environment by selecting sources (as one would select waveforms on a synthesizer) and applying some sort of method (algorithm) to combine and/or modulate them. Unlike a typical post-production environment, the VS3 system is designed to allow creative decisions to be made on-the-fly in a live performance. This approach is also more advanced than the typical 'VJ' paradigm, as the system doesn't just mix existing sources but actually generates original footage in real-time.
