Lighting Design Across Concerts, Film and Television

While the fundamentals of lighting design remain the same, working across concerts, film and television requires very different approaches. Live concerts demand energy, flexibility and bold visual statements, while film and TV lighting must be precise, repeatable and camera-friendly.

As a lighting desk programmer, attention to detail is critical. Every cue needs to be consistent, accurate and reliable, often under tight schedules and high-pressure conditions. Small adjustments can make a big difference on camera, and understanding how lighting translates on screen is essential.
