The scope of Naked Eye's work encompasses all genres of visual design - from high profile rock 'n' roll world tours, to major events and architectural concepts. Conwell also programmes video and moving lights for a variety of high profile TV and game shows.
He has been using media servers for some time, and was an early adopter of the innovative technologies and mindsets fuelling the 'convergence' between video and lighting.
On the most recent Morrissey tour, he used the HippoCritter to playback video content for the pre-show movie, which ran for 25 minutes. The HippoCritter was also used for projecting a PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) video onto the stage's backdrop during the famous The Smiths' song, Meat is Murder.
A.C. Video's Alistair Smyth comments, "Green Hippo are a forward thinking company, they continue to develop their products with designers like Max in mind - introducing new features and components that enable designers and programmers to be as creative as possible."
After great experiences with both the Green Hippo and TV One gear, Naked Eye have already made plans to invest in a Green Hippo GrassHopper and another TV One down-converter in the near future.
