LD's 'Light' Investment

UK - Following an extremely busy year, freelance lighting designer Tim Routledge is beginning 2006 with the purchase of a GrandMA Light lighting console, which offers the full power of the full-size desk in a smaller, compact size. Routledge explains: "I have used the GrandMA console range pretty much exclusively for the past two years and there is no other desk on the market that has the power and flexibility of this system." He added: "Any purchase of this size for an independent LD is a massive investment and I had to be satisfied that it was the right choice, the last 12 months have proved to me I have made the right decision."

Routledge's work in 2005 included a range of shows from live music at Hammersmith Apollo, to timecoded musicals on board cruise liners. He finished off the year designing and programming Hot Stuff - The Christmas Edition at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre which also used the new GrandMA Video system. "I am intending to complete this investment with the purchase of a GrandMA video system in the coming months," he adds.

By combining GrandMA's visualiser software and other network capability, Routledge says he is now confident of providing his clients old and new with a service that will give them the benefit of prepatched and programmed shows that will save both time and money whilst on site.
