About

Campbell Shaw is a lighting designer and programmer based in Southern California. Campbell got his start in 6th grade, when he was the first middle school student to design and program lighting for his school’s drama program. Since then he has gone on to light numerous productions on both the educational and professional level. His design work includes live theatre, holiday light shows, and concerts.

Storytelling is core to Campbell’s work, he believes that everything has a story and a great lighting design has to be story-based.

As far back as he can remember, Campbell has been fascinated by light and the role it plays in telling stories. Even as a kindergartener, long before he had access to professional tools, he would tape translucent colored Magna-Tiles over flashlights to experiment with light.

Campbell loves to find fresh ways to use technology to make art. He has taught himself Eos, MA3, MA2 ,Hog 4, Onyx, Wysiwyg, Vectorworks, Qlab and continues to explore new technologies every day to make magic. He is now an Eos level 4 programmer.
