Lighting Director & Operator

The productions below represent a selection of events I directed as Lighting Director (L1) during my time at The Broadmoor.

Technical Notes

  • Power distribution mismatch: wall outlets were dual phase rather than the modern standard 3-phase. The provided power distro had been modified and re-terminated to match, making its breakers unreliable for overload protection. Verified wiring with a multimeter and managed load manually.

Technical Notes

  • Ground-supported crank-up truss structure shared with LED video wall. Fixture hang required lift access; truss access had to be carefully coordinated with video department — lighting and video could not work the structure simultaneously.
  • Complex rigging logistics in a compact footprint; sequenced department access to maintain schedule.
