Repeatable setups, on-set checklists, and cross-format color consistency.

About

I coach crews on lighting choreography for hybrid days: where stands live, who meters, and how to lock color from scene to scene.

Core Beliefs

Clarity beats speed; repeatability creates speed.

Background

A branding client needed photo and video across six desks before lunch. Instead of improvising, I taped a mini floor plan, labeled stand positions, and printed kelvin and output for each angle. With a gray card and one-minute meter checks, our colors matched from frame one, and the team relaxed.

Perspective

I value checklists and standard operating procedures over improvisation.
