Vale John Berrett (AKA Beryl)
Posted on Saturday, March 17th, 2012
It is with a heavy heart that we report the passing of John (Beryl) Berrett on Tuesday the 14th of March, after a heart attack on Friday night.
Beryl was engaged as a casual with The Australian Ballet in 1977 and then began full time employment in early 1979. He left in 1982 and worked for several years in the UK, mostly at London’s Coliseum. John returned to The Australian Ballet in 1987 as Head Electrician and became Master Electrician in 2007 following Frank Croeses’ retirement and remained in the role until his untimely passing.
John was widely regarded to be one of the kindest, gentlest souls in the industry. There was no length that John wouldn’t go to make sure ‘the show went on’. He touched many lives and lit countless shows and will be sorely missed by all those who knew him.
A funeral will be held next Wednesday the 21st of March at the Springvale Crematorium (BOYD CHAPEL) at 2.30pm. This will be followed by light refreshments at the Sandown Park Hotel nearby.
Flowers can be sent to the Boyd Chapel.
Staff Changes at LSC
Posted on Tuesday, December 13th, 2011
LSC, the Australian maker of lighting control products, announces several staff changes. With Alan Graham leaving LSC, Trevor Sykes has been promoted to the position of general manager. Sykes has a long association with LSC ,starting out with the company as a technician in the late ’80s. Leaving the company in the late ’90s to explore other areas, he rejoined it in 2007 as product development manager.
Jane Argentaro has taken on the role of material controller. This is a newly created role , Argentaro to draw on her experience of the electronic component supply industry to purchase and manage the company’s stock for manufacturing and sales.
Heather Ellis started with LSC in October as sales administrator. Hailing from the motor vehicle industry, she is the first point of call for all new orders, progress of orders through the manufacturing department and any product availability enquiries.
Alan Graham retires from LSC
Posted on Tuesday, December 6th, 2011
LSC Lighting Systems has announced the retirement of long serving manager Alan Graham. Alan joined LSC in 1988 and will be known to many in the lighting industry as the front man for LSC export sales from the early 90s until 2004 when he relinquished the position to concentrate on internal matters and move away from the constant travel.
“Alan has contributed to LSC in many ways over the years and has had input to all aspects of the company including the design of its products, how they are manufactured and how they are marketed and sold,” says the company. “On top of this, his love of building was gainfully employed when he undertook the design and project management of the company’s current 2000sq.m head office.”
Trained as a design draftsman, Alan was initially employed by LSC as a contractor in the early 80s to design printed circuit boards for LSC products such as the Precept control desk and Tour Series dimmers. However it became obvious to management at the time that Alan had more to offer than PCB design and he was offered the position of general manager in1988. He has held this role since but in the early 90s became very interested in the sales and marketing aspects of the company where, as it turned out, he had a natural talent. Alan became the exterior face of LSC through the 90s and into the last decade as he headed up local and international sales.
From 2004 on, Alan has concentrated on the internal operations of the company including production and marketing where he has used his many talents to streamline production and continue to push the company’s commitment to Australian Designed and Manufactured.
Gary Pritchard, LSC’s CEO commented, “The contribution that Alan has made to the growth and success of LSC over very many years is significant and his input will be missed. I am sure he will be able to look back at his time at LSC with fondness even though the company has been through both good times and bad over the years. He will certainly be able to stand back and look at LSC with pride and say ‘I helped build that’. I join with the rest of the LSC staff and wish Alan all the best for his future.”
Alan’s initial plans are to take a year off, build another house and take a long holiday in Europe. Although he is leaving full time employment with LSC he will continue on as a director of the company. He leaves the company on 23 December.
VCA Upgrades Production Courses – Brings In Joseph Mercurio
Posted on Friday, August 26th, 2011
The School of Performing Arts at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), University of Melbourne, has recently appointed Joseph Mercurio to be the Production Department’s lecturer in Performance Technology. Joseph’s appointment coincides with the introduction of a new degree course for 2012 and focus on the importance of technology in live theatre.
Joseph brings a wealth of experience as a lighting designer and educator. He has taught for a number of years at different institutions including La Salle in Singapore and as Lighting Course Coordinator at WAAPA.
The VCA is committed to ensuring the highest level of training for the students in the production course. The new degree and the equipment upgrading are example of the intention of VCA to be at the forefront of performance technology. Since joining the VCA Joseph has been involved in developing the new degree course and in purchasing a range of new equipment for lighting and vision systems.
Joseph said; “The new degree course includes lectures in computer software, student will learn the full design flow of adobe suite. As an example a stage manager will be able to design and print paper props, a lighting/set/costume designer will be able to render design concepts and all students will benefit by learning how to create an online portfolio. This is just one of the ways we are making this technology a tool for our students. It is going to be an exciting and productive time to be at the VCA”.
Joseph added; “The emphasis and commitment to new technology that the VCA has shown is fantastic. We are in a purchasing frenzy, so far we have upgrading standard lighting equipment, put together a pre-visualisation studio, created a 1:25 model lighting design facility, and purchased equipment for vision projection and content creation. We still have the big purchase to come at the end of the year with new control surfaces, moving lights and LED fixtures. Without a doubt this process will see the VCA position itself at the forefront of Performance Technology.”

Philips Selecon boss Jeremy Collins moves on to a new stage
Posted on Wednesday, June 8th, 2011
Philips Selecon boss Jeremy Collins has announced he will be leaving Philips Selecon at the end of June.
Collins, who bought the company in 1985 (with colleague Andrew Nichols) and has been instrumental in building the Selecon brand over the past quarter of a century, says he is moving on ‘to a new stage’ in his life.
Since Philips acquired Selecon in April 2009, Collins has been a driving force in ensuring a smooth transition and further development of the Philips Selecon products.
“For 25 years Selecon has been a major part of my life,’ says Collins. ‘To my Selecon New Zealand colleagues and those around the world, a very special thank you – we successfully worked together and created a successful global business, which led our niche in many markets around the world. A fantastic achievement, which I hope you all take pride in, as I do.
“It is now time for me to move on. I do this with great confidence in the future of Philips Entertainment. The potential is only now starting to be realised in our global markets. As you continue to develop and deliver great innovative new products; build new business partnerships around the world and maybe even acquire some more great companies like Selecon, I wish you all the best in realising the exciting future which is Philips Entertainment.”
“On behalf of the entire team at Philips Entertainment, I personally would like to add my thanks to Jeremy and wish him good luck in his retirement, says Steve Carson, VP/GM at Philips Entertainment Lighting. “Jeremy should be proud that the company he founded has grown to be the leader in entertainment luminaires. With the merger of Selecon with Philips it continues to develop product with the same philosophy of providing innovative lighting tools for theatre throughout the world. It has been my honor and pleasure to work with Jeremy the last few years and while his creativity and leadership will be missed, I believe that he has left a legacy that will continue into the future.”
Selecon’s specialty is in fixed luminaires for the theatre and for the specialised display, museum and art gallery market. Philips identified the entertainment market as of special interest to the company as part of its global strategy, and therefore purchased Selecon as part of its ambitions.
Philips Selecon is now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of lighting technology.
In 2009 Jeremy Collins received the Entertainment Technology New Zealand Lifetime Achievement Award at the opening ceremony of NZ’s bi-annual ETNZ Conference and Tradeshow held at the Telstra Clear Events Centre in Manukau, Auckland.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked alongside some amazingly talented individuals within the industry of pro audio and lighting on various productions,” explained Richmond. “It truly is a team effort – each member makes an invaluable contribution.
“The rapid rate at which technology and trends emerge makes a central product and service showcase vital.
“ENTECH INTECH is a show for the industry so it makes sense that we listened to its collective voice which supported the move to the 2011 date.
“The result has been extremely positive. We have been able to establish a number of major partnerships and create various marketing initiatives such as ENTECH TV during this time, as well as have our team attend shows in both Europe and Asia to ensure we remain at the forefront of technology and innovation.
“To date over 40% of floor space has been booked, including commitment from the major industry players.
“We will be investing considerable resources into education and training features as well as securing speakers from all across the world to address attending professionals.
“The co-location with SMPTE makes for a united effort and will make it even more convenient for our visitors.”
Richmond said she was sure the industry would appreciate the lengths ETF had gone to in ensuring the show was the biggest and best ever.
“I first attended an ENTECH event a few years ago and realised just how valuable the show was as a member of the industry.
“Our goal for the 2011 event is to create a fertile learning environment in which professionals can network, educate and be educated about all things audio and lighting.
“I feel privileged to be able to bring my own direction to the show and Exhibitions and Trade Fairs as a whole.”
