Lighting design and show operation

At the lighting desk, I follow the musicians’ rhythms, the silences and the scene changes. Based in Paris, I design and program lighting for concerts and live shows across France and abroad. In my grandMA3 training sessions, I teach the same techniques I use on shows.

Previsualisation

3D lighting design

Before load-in, I test fixture positions, colours and beam angles in 3D to see the lighting from the audience’s perspective.

For shows that need precise timing, I program bespoke lighting sequences to timecode. I cue each change to the music, then use 3D previsualisation software so we can watch the result together and fine-tune the transitions before the rig goes up.

Tailored grandMA3 training

I offer hands-on training at your venue or lighting desk, or at a performing arts training centre in Paris.

Before we meet, we discuss your experience and what you want to program. I then build a training plan with exercises at the desk that suit your level, your pace and the show you’re preparing.

If you’re new to grandMA3, we can start with the patch and presets, then build your first sequence. If you already program on the desk, we can focus on a specific task, such as organising recipes or syncing cues to timecode.

To plan your training, call Julien · +33 6 77 41 31 95.
