In live event production, great lighting isn’t just about visibility—it’s about storytelling, energy, and impact. At Media West, we design every lighting system with precision to ensure the perfect synergy between audio, video, stage direction, and audience experience.
“Lighting isn’t just about making things bright—it’s about shaping the atmosphere, directing attention, and creating emotion. Every fixture, every cue, and every color choice play a role in the experience we create.” — Michael Kuntz, CEO, Media West
Lighting design starts long before the first cue. Pre-Vis allow us to control every aspect of movement, color, and intensity—something house lights simply can’t provide. The Stages dictate the lighting rig, determining truss design, fixture placement, and programming needs.
From stage washes that ensure speakers are evenly lit to robotic moving lights that create dynamic visuals, every element serves a purpose. The balance between lighting and LED screens is another challenge—matching color temperatures and intensity is crucial for a polished, professional look.
Whether it’s walk-up lighting, transitions, “chase” effects, or dramatic flashes, every lighting cue enhances the energy of the event. At Media West, we don’t just light the stage—we design the experience.
