Live shows
Most of our work is played live, by hand, in the moment — the industry calls it busking. Nothing is on autopilot, so the beams react to the room as it happens.
Timecoded shows
When a show needs to land identically every time, we lock it to your music second by second, so every burst, sweep, and color change hits on the beat.
Logos and custom imagery
Your company logo across a building. A monogram on the wall at a reception. Text and animation on stage backdrops, walls, and open air.
Operator for hire
For venues and production companies with lasers already in house that need a certified hand on the console for the night.
Freelance & technical
Available for hire as a Laser Safety Officer, laser operator, and lighting designer or programmer — for your show, your gear, or a mix of both.
How the shows get built
Laser design and playback in Pangolin BEYOND, run under our own FDA variance rather than borrowed cover. Lighting over DMX512, Art-Net, and sACN. Shows can be locked to SMPTE or MIDI timecode when a production needs them identical every night, or busked live when it needs to breathe.
Lasers and lighting from one desk
Both sides programmed together rather than handed to two people who meet at load-in. Pixel mapping across fixtures, laser-to-lighting cue integration, and previsualisation before anything is hung.
Scaling up
Additional projectors and crew come in through established sub-rental channels when a production needs more than our own inventory covers. Freight and labour are quoted as separate lines so you can see what you're paying for.
For production companies, venues, and tour personnel: if you own the gear and need a certified hand, or need a designer who can cover both rigs, that's the call.
Why the license matters
Running professional-power lasers in front of an audience in the United States requires a federal variance and a certified safety officer. We hold both, in our own name, for every show we run. If someone quotes you a laser show without them, you are the one holding the liability.
One thing we don't do, on purpose: we never aim beams into a crowd. Effects stay overhead and land on a surface. Your guests get the sky above them and nothing pointed at them.
Latest work
New beam work goes up on Instagram as it's shot. The most current material is always there rather than here.
Tell us about your event
We're based in New Orleans and cover the Gulf Coast. For work further out we bring in additional equipment and technicians as the production calls for it, so distance is a budget conversation rather than a dead end.
Send the date, the venue, and roughly what you're picturing. We'll come back with what's possible and what it costs. Takes about a minute, and there's no obligation.
