Alan has just returned from Saudi Arabia where he was working with Martin Speight (Creative Director, Merlin Productions), ABG and JK58 for the KSA National Day Celebration performance in Jeddah.
Alan was Technical Director for the project which included a massive 38m x 17m central screen with 2 huge Imag side screens, large sound system, and several unusual show elements including the Phoenix Fire Dancers and the biggest puppets ever seen by La Fura Dels Bous.
On top of coordinating the usual lighting, projection, audio, laser elements Alan had to learn about the 2 x 270 Tonne cranes with 70m Booms which were used to hoist the puppets.
