RECENT PROJECTS
Set on the banks of the Hudson River, this festival was built with purpose. Inspired by the legacy of Pete and Toshi Seeger, it was about more than music... it was about community, connection, and honoring the land that hosted us.
Produced in partnership with Dayglo Presents, Movingbeam led the creative and operational build as Production Designer and Production Manager. Site layout, stage design, technical infrastructure, permitting, and onsite execution. Every detail was shaped to support the artists, the crew, and the guest experience.
The Brothers returned to Madison Square Garden for two nights this April, building a modern show around the legacy Allman Brothers Band catalog. The lineup featured Jaimoe, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge, Marc Quiñones, Joe Russo, Reese Wynans, Isaac Eady, and special guest Chuck Leavell.
Movingbeam led production design and technical direction for the weekend… integrating lighting, video, backline, consoles, rigging, and show control into a single cohesive system. We handled pre-viz, fixture strategy, programming, and real-time operation at the desk, shaping the dynamic shifts in the set from quiet instrumental space to full arena energy.
Will Ferrell’s Ultimate DJ House Party took over Chicago’s Wintrust Arena with a lineup that pulled in some of the biggest names in house and dance music. A full-scale arena party built around Will’s energy and a cause that mattered… raising support for Cancer for College. Movingbeam handled the lighting and visual design for the night, shaping the room so the comedy, the music, and the crowd all lived in the same pulse. A high-energy event with purpose at its core.
