I have never been so afraid to light a DJ, but that’s what happens when you have (48) Sharpy’s on a show!

I partnered with H+W of SLP to light Jenn and Jon’s wedding @ Grand Palace.  We did uplights along the walls, a custom double-happiness gobo projected behind the head table, and pattern wash onto the tables.

Straight out of Austin, I joined Team Cybis again for the Georgia Future Business Leaders Association State Leadership Conference in Atlanta.

The theme was “Dive In”, so I came up with a couple of concepts with curved truss and whatnot. After bouncing ideas back and forth with Jeff, we decided to go with a curved “bullhorn” truss upstage with semi-transparent drape for a flowy effect. We used lights in front of and behind the sheer to play with depth. Jeff also had some white tiles, so we hung those and projected onto them. I thought it was a nice collaboration.

Lacy Maxell Productions brought me to Austin again to light the Fader Fort. Some of the artists this year included Rock Ross, The Dream, Santigold, Kimbra, Zola Jesus, and Danny Brown. High End Systems gear lit the stage with Intellaspots, Technospots, and Showpix; all were controlled via a Road Hog Full Boar and USB playback wing.

In early March, I joined team Cybis for their annual Washington Deca State Career Development Conference event. I had originally intended to do a much more labor intensive design, but Chase reeled me back to a design that was feasible for our time constraints. Team Cybis has a great product and an impressive group of extremely talented people. From beginning to show to end, it was evident that the whole package and presentation was well thought and pre-visualized in every department.

What impressed me the most was their graphics; most presentations that I’ve seen are powerpoint or keynote slides with a few movie clips sprinkled within. Everything on the Cybis screen was visually interesting and had movement and the right color where appropriate.

Back in mid-February, Lacy Maxwell Productions brought me to Las Vegas to light a socializer for Puma Motorsports. Diplo, Santigold, and other very talented artists provided musical entertainment for the night. LMP has a very unique style that’s unlike anybody else I’ve seen. I’m not sure how to express it in words, but it’s pretty darn cool.

I programmed GusPresents’ new year’s day party a few weeks ago, and Jim Hauck was gracious enough to give me a nod in his review of the party.

He writes “Under the operations of Allan Susanto, the lighting was really on for the night, hitting those emotional sweeps and colorful peaks and pulling the crowd into full emotional bursts.”

I’m extremely flattered! Thank you, Jim!

Have a read!
