Beast Transformation Lights

I assisted our co-lighting designers, John Reilly and Tira Martin, create an effect to hide a costume change on stage when the Beast turned back into a human. We utilized fog machines, and multiple LED lights.

Lumiere Hands Prototype

Although this practical was not used in our production, I created a prototype DMX controlled, light-up set of hands for Lumiere. The chassis was 3D printed, and had a small flame on the top. We made it light up by putting LED strip lights in the top portion, which were connected to a DMX decoder, a wireless DMX dongle, and a battery bank in the bottom.
