I joined Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds: The Immersive Experience as the Associate Sound Designer alongside Sound Designer Theo Holloway , Assistant Sound Designer Beth Duke and Production Sound Engineer Tom Lishman for 3 months in 2019. In this time we managed to put together a fantastically complex and capable sound- and show control system which became the point at which sound, lighting, VR, flow control for performers and audience, pyrotechnics, projections, holographics and hydraulics intersected.
Most of my responsibilities laid with programming the show in Qlab as well as Theo’s custom show control software and I’m very glad that I got to be part of this very interesting job alongside a great team that made what could have easily been a very stressful process, a smooth and pleasant experience.
