For the Grand Depart of the Tour de France I was given the challenge to design and produce a lighting system that could attach to road racing bikes, be controlled remote, work in all weathers and at high speed. A major part of the work was studying the motion of the wheel and how we could express the speed and movement of a Peloton of cyclists travelling at speed at night. The project was a mass choreographed event that took place in the center of Leeds and also a film that has gone on to win numerous awards by the film director Mark Huskisson. photo credit © Tim Smith https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be44202aa49a1ac64db982a/1542197713206-SQDXN7ABG40IATRZRB6Q/Lots-%26-Not-Lots--pics-by-Drew-Farrell-%281%29w.jpg Selected Projects Lighting design for the 2018 performance ‘Lots and Not Lots’ created by Greg Sinclair for the Future Proof series of performances for the National Theatre of Scotland. photo credit © Drew Farrell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be44202aa49a1ac64db982a/1542201124077-KLJTE1PY3D7CIN8GJQ5O/Sunstore%252520-%252520Indian%252520Village-1-w.jpg Selected Projects Detailed design and Prototype creation for a Solar Cooker for Sunstore Technologies.
