Understanding the event, the audience, and what success looks like, before a single fixture is considered.

Scoping cost across every department before design work begins.

Develop the visual language and lighting narrative.

Testing the concept including every constraint the design has to live in.

This may Include:

• Rigging positions

• Rigging Point weight loads

• Rigging - Trim Heights

• Access and existing infrastructure

• Venue Power

• Direct Sunlight (Doors & Windows)

• Loading Dock Access

• Topography of Location

Translating the concept into preliminary technical drawings and a virtual production environment, and developing the initial production budget and supplier quotations across:

This may include:

• Stage requirements and dimensions

• Venue engineering considerations

• Rigging positions & trim height

• Lighting positions

• Video screens and projection

• Scenic and set elements

• Audience sightlines

• Camera blocking & design background considerations

Transparent proposals across every department. A transparent proposal across every department — rigging, lighting, scenic, video screens/projection, and content creation.

Revisiting the concept with fresh eyes, sharpening the ideas that will carry through to the final design.

Reviewing the initial concept against the creative brief, production requirements and available budget — then refining the design, revising technical documentation, and exploring alternative creative or technical solutions.

Testing specialist creative and technical elements before final approval.

This may include:

• Custom Rigging Solutions

• Scenic and set treatments

• Custom lighting effects

• Projection and media studies

• Rigging automation systems

• Stage automation systems

• Materials, textures and design finishes

• Integrated technology workflows

Every decision closed out and the design frozen as a production-ready package.

Pulling every department together to understand how the show fits as a whole , install time, labour requirements, and onsite pre-show needs.

Client approval, show commissioned, equipment hired, custom fabrication confirmed.

The point where quoting becomes production.

Placing cue points and stamping the show to music, so every look lands in step with sound.

Build the venue, rig design, and show digitally, show file prep, show data management.

Network setup, media servers, pixel mapping, remote followspots, and PSN & remote triggers — system integration that enables fast decision-making.

Checking back against the storyboard, making sure show moments and sequencing still line up with the original intent.

The show, programmed in previsualisation moment by moment, reviewed and ready for the room.

This gets you to roughly 80% programmed before arriving onsite to finalise the remaining detail.

The cue structure and show sequencing are developed, programmed, and refined first — timecode can only trigger cues once the show structure exists.

Automation is introduced only once every real-world and visual layer has been programmed, reviewed and fully understood. From there, the completed cue structure is locked to timecode, letting complex, interdependent sequences run with precision.

Every fixture installed and tested, the design focused to the room, and the final programming locked in through rehearsal.
