White Light from Politics to Beach Parties
It’s been a busy summer season of corporate lighting projects for White Light, with the Corporate Lighting team led by Steve Bartlett dealing with events ranging from the Labour Party’s pre-election tour to the 30th anniversary screening of Jaws on Brighton beach in front of more than 15,000 people.
Labour’s pre-election tour saw White Light working with production company Potcakes on the campaign. The nature of which meant that no-one, including the production manager Jeremy Difazio and the lighting crews, knew where the next venue would be! Lighting designers Stuart Wright and Stuart Crane (this year’s ABTT Technician of the Year) therefore toured rigs that were designed to cover all possible rigging, mains and staging variations.
Since the election, White Light have been involved with the quincentenary of Christ’s College Cambridge and the V Fest lit by lighting designer Chris Biddolph; two events for Barclays at the Excel Centre with lighting designer Tim Ball, and the summer season at the Honorary Artillery Company, lit by Jason Larcombe and Simon Jones. White Light has also been involved with three projects with Oxygen Events, a massive private party in Plymouth, a new semi-permanent installation at the Trocadero in London and in a day out at the beach in Brighton, an open-air screening of the classic movie Jaws, the latter overseen by technical director Luke Bennett.
Moving into the autumn, White Light’s Corporate Lighting team returned to politics, servicing the autumn conferences of both the Labour and the Liberal Democrat Parties.
Lighting conferences and corporate events is just another area of entertainment lighting in which White Light is active. White Light’s work in these areas have been seen recently at the Science Museum, Kew Gardens, Somerset House, Vinopolis, the Imperial War Museum and many others.
