June 2011:
There has been no escaping challenge over the past eight weeks putting
myself to the test using many Green Hippo V3 systems alongside MA Lightings
GrandMA2 lighting console. Starting with a corporate event in Las Vegas to
blend multiple projectors including DL3s onto an audience surrounding scrim
material we found that reflects maximum front light while allowing back
light to work its revealing magic. Green Hippo i7 V3 HDs provided the
backdrop while allowing multiple inputs from IMAG cameras and graphic
laptops.
Our next event in Dallas was no less daunting as the challenge was to
provide literally hundreds of feet of visual backdrop from DL3s in addition
to using Green Hippos to drive a backdrop of Versatubes, Martin LC video
walls, and front projected IMAG screens that moved during the opening
segment.
Just coming back from our most recent event which involved over two weeks of
pre-visualization and programming to execute a large exhibit booth for the
2011 E3 tradeshow in Los Angeles, CA. This event involved fourteen Green
Hippo Grasshopper HD servers controlled by the MA Lighting GrandMA2 lighting
console to drive 360˚ of visual imagery seamlessly across seven projection
screens spanning 150' in addition to five Barco i6 video walls spanning the
approximately 120' of display area completing the visual surround
environment.
April 2011:
Projects this month were Video System Designs for Bob Dylan and
Chris Brown Australia Tours driven by our rock solid Green Hippo i7 HD media
servers. February 2011
Dunaway Designs / Digital Stage Chicago now offer the latest Green HIppo
Hippotizer HDs with extensive hardware revisions enabling radical
performance gains for the award-winning media server range. Based around
Intel’s i7 processors the revisions harness the processors unrivalled power
and work in conjunction with version 3.0.14’s new software Playback Engine
from the London based company. The i7-based servers are significantly faster
and allow for more video playback layers. Previous machines ran between 2-5
layers depending on the specification and the age of the unit whilst the new
i7 based units are capable of 8 layers of full HD playback simultaneously.

article discussing a recent Plexus Productions corporate
spectacle dreamed up by Creative Director Joe West and executed by the
programming team of Warren Flynn on moving lights and myself on digital
lighting.
The past few years have kept me very busy with some very fun and exciting
projects - thus the website has taken a back seat. 2010 provided some great
challenges - a few that stand out are posted on my
portfolio page for those
interested.
