Epsilon  Design  Group

Our rigging design team consists of industry professionals who have hung everything from acrobats to cars, for everything from concerts to trade shows, and in everything from arenas to theaters. Our staff includes ETCP Certified personnel who are responsible for evaluating designs and loads using integrated software modeling analysis. Upon completion we can provide certifiable documentation, within the same file containing your event design. DSTV files can be generated for easy sharing with structural engineers.

With safety being paramount, we conform and adhere to all relevant ANSI standards regarding live event production. We carefully calculate weights and potential forces in order to properly and safely specify the necessary structural and rigging components. Should you need, we can assist with sourcing materials and equipment using a network of leading companies such as Reed Rigging, Atlanta Rigging, and Showrig.

Our lighting designers are current industry programmers who are experienced and knowledgeable with the capabilities and nuances of professional lighting fixtures that are used around the globe. Upon request, we can spec and source fixtures from leading companies such as PRG, Christie Lites, and Creative Stage, while balancing the creative aspect, the timeline, and the budget of your production.

Renting a a full-size venue for rehearsals and programming of a lighting rig will easily cost tens of thousands of dollars per day. Add to that the  equipment rental charges and all the labor to set it up and the cost can become insurmountable. 

Lighting previsualization involves using software and a 3D model to predict how lighting instruments will behave in real life. Previsualization allows users to explore their designs in a virtual environment with relatively little cost. Experiment with looks and cues, review options with your clients and artists, and get buy in – all before you load in. Once on site, show looks and position palettes may only need minimal touch-up before you are ready to rock.

We have a variety of software solutions at hand--all of which can be controlled by every major lighting console over a variety of protocols like Artnet, MA-net, sACN, and more. 

Bring us an idea, bring us a napkin sketch of a design, or send us a fax of a xerox copy of a thing; we take your concept and produce accurate and detailed electronic computer models. We create drawings to be sent for production or quoting. Our design team uses a variety of tools to visualize a concept. Vectorworks, the gold-standard CAD software for lighting design, is essential to our workflow.
