ShowLab Studio is poised to revolutionize Sri Lanka’s entertainment and event sector by introducing the nation’s first dedicated facility for previsualization, lighting programming, and show integration. This innovative establishment has been developed in partnership with Bling Productions, Eyeon Digital Motion, and D4, marking a significant advancement in the way live performances are conceived, allowing for complete design, programming, and refinement prior to actual venue execution. The studio is outfitted with state-of-the-art tools comparable to those utilized in international tours, Broadway, West End, and large-scale arena shows, thereby aligning Sri Lanka’s live event capabilities with global standards.
The facility embodies a synthesis of three specialized areas: Marlon Jesudason, the Founder of Bling Productions and Co-Founder of Eyeon Digital Motion, has been instrumental in elevating contemporary event production norms in Sri Lanka through innovative creative direction and show design. Obed Kushan, the Lead Visual Engineer at Eyeon Digital Motion, offers expertise in LED technologies, projection mapping, and a cross-disciplinary visual arts team, facilitating precise visual simulations. Dhanushka Aruna from D4 adds extensive technical knowledge in lighting effects, show control systems, and live event engineering, which constitutes the foundational support of the studio’s operational framework.
ShowLab Studio confronts persistent industry obstacles such as restricted rehearsal opportunities, limitations imposed by venues, and technical ambiguities. By allowing teams to construct and evaluate every aspect of a production within a controlled setting—including lighting, visuals, audio synchronization, and show management—the facility markedly enhances operational efficiency while minimizing costs and risks.
The studio is equipped with industry-standard equipment prevalent in global touring and theatrical productions, featuring grandMA3 lighting consoles, a 3D real-time visualizer, LED and projection simulation technologies, along with sophisticated timecode systems that integrate MTC and LTC. This array of technology enables lighting designers, show producers, and directors to meticulously program, simulate, and synchronize productions with remarkable accuracy before live execution.
ShowLab Studio is versatile enough to accommodate various types of productions, including concerts, corporate functions, theatrical performances, and touring shows. Production designers can create adaptable show files, experiment with intricate effects and cue sequences, and ensure uniformity across different venues, while performing arts productions gain from reduced technical rehearsal durations and enhanced creative adaptability.
As ShowLab Studio sets new benchmarks within the industry, conversations in Sri Lanka’s event and show sector are evolving from discussions of feasibility to considerations of the industry’s readiness to progress in tandem with these advancements.
