Our Planet Live

Tour Lighting Director: Spring 2023

During our amazing 3-month journey across America, we had the privilege of witnessing the captivating and awe-inspiring story of Our Planet Live, a remarkable production that brought to life the profound documentary narrated by the esteemed Sir David Attenborough. To add an extra layer of enchantment, the film featured the captivating voice of William Shattner as a special guest narrator, ensuring an unforgettable multimedia experience. The visual odyssey we embarked upon was made even more extraordinary by the enchanting melodies written by Steven Price performed by an 18-piece Orchestra, which enhanced the emotional impact of the breathtaking imagery. With each new scene, we were treated to mind-boggling sights that had previously eluded our gaze, evoking powerful emotions within us. However, amid this mesmerizing display, the documentary had a crucial underlying message: it served as a sobering reminder that our actions have a direct impact on the fragile future of our planet. Should we fail to make significant changes, our home and all that it encompasses hang precariously in the balance.

The show consisted of an Orchestra performing with timecoded video and a full light show. As the Lighting Director, I had the opportunity to run the show with an Ma3 Full-size lighting console. The combination of the orchestra's melodies, the captivating visuals, and the intricate lighting design created an immersive experience that left the audience in awe. It was truly a remarkable collaboration of music, technology, and artistry.

David Attenborough : “The living world will endure. We humans cannot presume the same. We've come this far because we are the smartest creatures that have ever lived. But to continue, we require more than intelligence. We require wisdom.”
