Design, lighting plots, off-site pre-production and grandMA2 / grandMA3 programming, live operation. From the first idea to the last blackout.
Gold Light is the studio of Benoit De Vaux, technical director and lighting designer for over thirty years. National and international tours, corporate galas, shows, private events : every mandate is handled start to finish — artistic direction, dimensioned lighting plot, off-site pre-production on console and WYSIWYG, then on-site operation.
Working with a designer who also programs and operates removes the gap between the drawing and the room. What's promised at the design stage is what comes out of the fixtures on the night.
See the approachSeparately or as a full mandate, depending on what the production already has in place.
Reading the rundown, artistic intent, fixture selection and layout. The deliverable is a package the production can act on directly.
The show is built before it ever reaches the room. On console and in 3D visualization, so time on site goes to rehearsal, not catch-up.
Load-in, focus, rehearsals and live operation. One eye on the project from first fixture hung to final bow.
Tailored training for technicians, stage managers and production teams — one-on-one or in groups, on your own gear or in-house.
Rundown, venue constraints, filming, scenic elements, budget. We define what the light needs to say before talking about fixtures.
Layout, patch, general notes, legend. A package the integrator, the rigger and the venue can execute without back-and-forth.
Console and 3D visualization. Palettes, groups and show structure already exist by the time the first fixture turns on.
Checking angles and trims on site, adjusting looks, syncing up with sound, video and production.
Running the console, reacting to whatever the rundown throws at you, and handing over the documented showfile after the event.
A lighting plot is judged in the room, not on paper. Here's what it looks like.
