James Goodliffe // lighting + video
Lighting & video programmer
Programmer of lighting and video systems
Software developer & music producer
Technical equipment dry hire
I programme disguise media servers (formerly d3) and lighting consoles for live shows — touring, festivals, corporate, broadcast and theatre. The work runs from building the project and pre-visualising it long before load-in, through screen mapping and timeline programming on site, to a show file the crew can run every night without me.
Based in the UK, working wherever the show is.
From the first build to the last show.

Tell me the dates and the venue.
Tell me the dates, the venue and roughly what the screens are doing, and I'll tell you straight away whether I'm free and whether I'm the right person for it.
