Rustic Wedding

Two weeks ago we provided our lighting and audio services for a wedding weekend. Friday night guests staying in the town of Calistoga took a short walk to Pioneer Park for the rehersal dinner. We provided iPod Playback as well as wireless microphones for toasts. Bamboo lanterns and candles provided dinner light. For the wedding we provided sound for the ceremony, DJ, and toasts. The lighting consisted of 14 - 6' wooden planks with holes cut for Mason Jars. In each jar was a 4hr. burning candle. It was really neat to watch at the end of the night flicker out.

We have moved!

It has been about 2 weeks since we moved into our new office and shop. We are still located in Oakland. The building has had a modern redevelopment from what was the old Oakland Towel Factory, Inc . It is only 8 blocks from our last location. We love the charm which includes a vault upstairs! What is amazing, is all of the bits and pieces of stuff we hold onto. "We might need that someday" was heard a lot over the years. We'll post some photos when we get a little more organized here! Have a good start to your summer!

Cheers!

Flaming Lotus Girls

We were asked to light a large scale art sculpture made by the Flaming Lotus Girls last weekend. We have such a great time when we light this piece. It normally has fire lit on each vertebrae as well as the mouth. There are also various controls that the audience has access to when it is on fire. It is interactive fire art. The egg unfolds and there are various fire effects built into that. They asked us to light it because they couldn't do fire effects in this space. This was an event held on Treasure Island in San Francisco and was produced by the Opulent Temple which had Carl Cox as the headlining DJ. The Serpent Mother is such an amazing work of art and the party was a great setting to display it! Here is a link to a Flickr set by Jess Hobbs that shows off the lighting and the Serpent beautifully.

Panorama - La Jolla

We just wanted to post a panorama shot taken by our Lighting Designer - Mark Jones. This event was produced by Sillapere Events from San Francisco. We were asked to provide all audio & lighting services for a private event in La Jolla, CA. that they produced. We used local lighting & audio companies Peterson Lighting who provided us with the Micro W LED fixtures, low voltage lighting, and Martin Entour moving lights & Special Event Audio Services who provided superior sound for the entertainment and a Nexo system for dinner. I would recommend Larry Peterson and Mitch Grant to ANYONE!

Mid Summers Night Dream

Last weekend we designed the lighting and audio for a wedding in Guerneville at a place called Dawn Ranch Resort. The property is fairly large so there was a lot of area to cover. The wedding was produced by Alison Events of San Francisco. Zephyr Tenting provided amazing custom tents. The pictures here are of the orchard.

Steampunk Treehouse

Our friends who built the Steampunk Treehouse were at the Coachella Music Festival this year and we helped them come up with a lighting concept and loaned them the fixtures to light the treehouse. They put about 2 dozen PAR 20 fixtures in the branches and lit the inside of the trunk. I love the Syncrolites in the background. I just had to post the picture. Nice job guys! Go Sean & David!!
