Bernie Davis to present Trotter Paterson Lecture

UK - Bernie Davis, one of Britain's premier television lighting directors, will present this year's Trotter Patterson Lecture in London on 18 February. Davis' prolific output has included the lighting of The Royal Variety Show, The Last Night of the Proms, the 2002 Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace and religious broadcasts including Songs of Praise, the Royal Wedding at Windsor and the traditional Festival of Carols at Kings' College Cambridge. His outside broadcast expertise has stemmed from his early background in vision mixing and the contrast balance of his lighting is apparent in every production. He has a keen interest in theatre and the enhancement techniques needed when television enters a live performance designed hitherto for a live audience.

This prestigious lecture promises to be a highlight of the lighting calender and not to be missed by anyone with an interest in television lighting. The evening will be introduced by lighting designer Peter Phillipson.

This lecture forms part of the Society of Light and Lighting Lecture series for 2002-2003 (a part of the CIBSE). The lecture takes place at the Institute of Structural Engineers, 11 Upper Belgrave Street, London SW1X 8BH (nearest tube - Victoria). Admission is free but everyone is asked to sign in. Guests are asked arrive at 5:30pm for a prompt start at 6.00pm..
