A Sound and Video Production Company
I love working on the play Wizard of Oz, which is great, because productions keep finding me! This time, Mary and I were both asked to work on some footage that was already shot (some green screen some…not), but the director didn’t have the time or know-how to make his vision work. So we did …

Just as we were nearing the end of our over-the-top busy season at NVCC, disaster struck. Our electrical system for the main stage went DOWN. The short version is that the transformer on the roof had some serious issues and we had no reliable power for stage lighting. House lights and standard electrical wall outlets …
This semester at NVCC, we are doing three theatre shows, when we normally only do one. One of these shows, the musical, was initially dreamed up to be more of a revue, overseen by the music department. It has since changed shows and treatments, substantially. But this is exciting for me. We have ended up …
As anyone who has worked with me in the past couple of years knows, I am a fanatic about Qlab. That program has really changed what is possible, especially on the shows where I am allowed to run rampant, creatively – I can output, or control, all of the elements I come up with for …
Last night was a random one-off in Providence, RI. It was a white-tie affair – dinner for big PBS donors, followed by a sneak preview of the first hour of the final season of Downton Abbey. I don’t have a copy of the show, so please don’t ask. 🙂 But this was quite a fabulous …

Happy New Year! Sadly, I still haven’t gotten to rest. But I just did an awesome gig last night with the Power of Love, a Huey Lewis and the News tribute act, at the Sinclair in Cambridge, MA. My job was directing the lighting while I mixed a video wall on the fly. We had …
As posted last time, Fall has been a constant flow and no days off. I figured I would finally get to have a break just after Thanksgiving – finish my corporate gig, come back to Fairfield U for the second show of the season for a week and a half, and then rest. 70 days …
Not much rest here… After the super intense spring season, I had 3-4 days off, and then Mary and I jumped in the car and drove across the country with our friend Steph and her 2 year old. Did a little bit of work from the car, designing some digital scenery for Rocky Hill Community …
Here it is! The project I worked so hard on earlier this summer, straining to teach myself more about Qlab and MIDI. Made the best of a situation with very little gear, and I think we did some fine work as a result. Special thanks to director John Regis for bringing me in and letting …
