Transformations and Dramatic Statements 
Playing With Light
July 07, 2010
A few months ago I was talking to Beka Rendell and Kimberly Fink of Innove Events about doing an out of the box night time photo shoot using a lot of lighting. We have done quite a few events at Andalusia, an amazing estate on the Delaware River. The events were always in a tent by the river but the estate has many other spectacular areas that beg for some great lighting. In fact there is this amazing abandoned walled grapery that would be incredible for a wedding or a chic party. If you’re looking for a location that has never had an event in it, we already have the lighting design worked out for the grapery!!!
An A-list team was formed to play around one night and see what we could come up with. The always amazing Marie Labbancz offered to capture the magic. Beka and Kimberly organized everything and Kathy from Table Art provided the gorgeous flowers. Claudia Seyler worked her magic on the models hair and makeup.
The shoot was divided between day and night time shots. The day locations are being submitted to national publications and will be shown in the future, but I did want to show you a quick glimpse of some of the night shots. The team used the mausoleum on the property as inspiration for a Twilight / True Blood look. A little fog and some dramatic lighting really made the look!
This wall,which is over 100 years old and located in the grapery, is over 25 feet tall. The pictures capture how some simple lighting can bring out the texture and architecture of a space. A little variation in color can make an image look vastly different.

Behind The Scenes Pilot 2
March 04, 2010
Pilot Week 2
After a successful location survey and brainstorming meeting with the client, we got to work on planning the look of the set. Our set designer created a hand drawing showing the colors and look of the set pieces. The final size of the stage set will be 60’ wide and 20’ tall.
This was then imported into a 3D CAD rendering program to allow us to show the client exactly what the room will look like. Our audio and lighting designers also used the CAD drawings to select and place the proper equipment for outstanding results. On our bigger events, designing and planning the event on CAD (Computer Aided Design) allows us to visualize the event in detail before we set foot in the room to begin production.

The center part of the set will be a representation of the of “joke wall” that was a main feature of the original show. Included in the set are hidden doors that will open so that people can stick their heads out and tell jokes.
We also designed the stage to be handicap accessible to allow the CEO to be onstage and involved with the production.
We followed the client’s request to have the video screens appear like TV consoles from the 70’s.
