Paint With The Stars

Light as a medium, using a variety of tools to bring a vision to life.

I've spent my career putting light into the night sky. It started with animated Christmas light displays, synchronized to music and lights down to the frame. From there I moved to designing intricate firework shows, or pyromusicals where choreography, timing, and emotion had to land in a single take.

Today I lead the animation department that designs and animates drone light shows at Sky Elements, my life's work. Hundreds or thousands of drones become pixels in the sky forming images that delight audiences; the sky becomes the canvas.
