Lumiere Productions offers the latest in Computer Aided Design and pre-visualisation facilities.
Using the latest version of Cast Software’s WYSIWYG, we can design your show from start to finish with millimetre precision. We can interact with other areas such as production and set design, importing and exporting 2D or 3D CAD files in a variety of formats.
3D Pre-visualisation
One of the great advantages of this software is that it allows for full 3D colour pre-visualisation of your show complete with lit sets. This software allows us to add smoke effects, moving effects, projection and LED screens (including video content) to produce photorealistic images and even moving video of your show
Look from any angle or any camera position!
If you’re a TV director (or even if you’re not), we can place your cameras in the CAD model and let you see what the show will look like from any angle. We can even show moving shots so you can see how spectacular that open sweep on the crane will be!
Pre-programming. Save a fortune on equipment, crew and venue hire!
We invested in the highest specification of software available. This affords us the ability to connect our lighting consoles to the system so that we can pre-programme your show offsite from the comfort of our office, before we ever get near the venue. This not only provides for a more slick and detailed result, but allows us to see exactly how the show will look and saves huge amounts in programming time with the rig on site (hence saving on all the associated hire, venue and crew costs). We programme it, let you see it in advance (no surprises) and revise wherever necessary so that we can just plug in and go when we arrive onsite, looking just like it did on the screen in the office!
We can also generate all necessary paperwork, so that the hire and rigging companies have all the information they need to execute a quick, slick rig.
WYSIWYG has rapidly become the industry standard for high end lighting design and so communication with suppliers and other lighting companies and professionals is seamless…. We can all speak the same language!
Lumiere Productions also has access to a range of other CAD facilities, with expertise in the use of these, including AutoCAD, Vectorworks and Sketchup.
