Brawner & Associates offers professional show lighting design services for corporate meetings, concerts, houses of worship, theatrical stage shows, broadcast production, pageants, outdoor extravaganzas and special events.

THE DESIGN
Design of our lighting systems will always take into account the budget & equipment parameters from house systems to rented systems to a mix of the two. Production schedules and labor needs are factored in. Lighting designs are then developed around a balance between those parameters and the creative needs of the production. We can develop lighting and rigging plots that incorporate the needs of the entire production from audio, video, lighting and staging to sets and venue specifics.
Our systems have included conventional lighting, the latest moving-lights, LED units, media-servers and automated xenon lighting.

THE CONTENT
Lighting design - done right is a real art form. Our lighting has been highly regarded around the industry. Our lighting is tasteful while accenting and enhancing the action. Our lighting has been described by many of our clients as inspirational, evoking emotion and driving the energy of the show. Our lighting adds depth and dimension to the picture. Our lighting adds to the total audience experience.

Lighting will be designed for the event: The reality and emotion of the theatre, the flash and excitement of an outdoor extravaganza, the perfect levels, angles and background for television, the glamour of the beauty pageants & fashion shows and the inspiration of the church production.

THE EXECUTION
Lighting design is also a technical challenge. Loading it in, setting it up, focusing & programming are critical elements to a successful final product and is essential to the real effectiveness of shows, meetings and events. Great lighting design requires superior planning and a dedication to being an integral part of the production. Our process can include in-depth conceptual planning, facility surveys, pre-visualization and pre-programming, integration with facilities, governing institutions & all other production entities. We have extensive experience in production budgeting and show feasibility.

Our programmers are second to none and get the most out of the system whether that’s a three hundred unit moving-light rig in a stadium, a production in a church sanctuary or twelve lights rented for a small video shoot. Our electricians and riggers are some of the best in the industry with many years of experience. We have ETCP certified riggers and staff that have been building systems around the world.

“As creator-director of many live stage shows over the last 25 years, I can definitely recognize a skillful, artistically creative lighting designer when I see one, and Donnie Brawner is one of the best I've ever worked with. I really appreciate his dedication to understanding my creative desires, and then adding his own originality. He is a true collaborator."
Michael Meece - Creator, Director "The Promise".

“The lighting glamorized each drop, the built scenery and the flow of the scene changes. Your timing with mood changes & musical score was excellent. The lighting of the Dallas Christmas Festival at Prestonwood was simply the best I have seen in many, many years. In looking at the total production, you managed to tie it together with a very special artistic gift."
