Lighting for the Industrial Revelation Eco Festival – October 9th 2022

I am the director of the “Industrial Revelation Eco Festival” (http://www.elainesamuels.co.uk/industrial-rev-h.htm) which was held, in the main steam hall amongst the huge machinery, at “The London Museum of Water and Steam”, in Brentford Middlesex. The evening part of the event required lighting for two main functions. The first was to illuminate one of the huge machines, situated as a backdrop to the stage area, making it look like it was battling with nature as well as trying to come to life. The other function was to light the three rock bands performing in front of it. Charlie Powell was recommended to me, as an 'up-and-coming' lighting designer. He was very easy to work with and provided a stunning and professional job for us. He was able to use a large range of very 'high end' lighting units, kindly provided by local lighting company Ambersphere Solutions, which has global customers like Ed Sheeran and Beyonce. On the night, Charlie was the creative lighting director of an Ambersphere Solutions team of around 6 lighting engineers, technicians and helpers. He used his software to dynamically alter the many lighting units placed on the machine and the stage to give a really exciting display, sympathetic to the music in real time. We were extremely pleased with his work and would definitely book him again in future.
