Tryfer isn't a menu of services to select from. It's a single, connected production process — one team, accountable from the first brief through to live broadcast.
Every stage feeds the next, and the work is front-loaded into pre-production — brief, drawings, model, render, sign-off, previz, and plans are all resolved before load-in. By the time we're on site, the show is already proven. That's how the design that's approved is the design that goes on air.
We interrogate the show, the broadcast requirements, and the brand behind it — turning a loose ambition into a single, agreed creative direction.
downstream reinterpretation — the whole team works to one agreed creative intent from day one.
The concept becomes scaled visual design — the look, the shapes, and the staging language of the show, drawn out before a cent is committed.
LED and screen content fighting the lighting — how light, set, and video work together is settled on paper, not discovered on show day.
A full, dimensionally accurate 3D model of the set and rig — every truss, fixture, and sightline built to real-world spec.
guesswork around sightlines, rig positions, and geometry — every dimension is proven in the model, not on the venue floor.
Photorealistic renders show the finished stage exactly as it will read on camera and in the room.
"that's not what I pictured" — clients approve exactly what will be on air, before anyone commits to building it.
A formal approval against the rendered design locks the look, the scope, and the budget into one reference.
costly late changes — this is the last point where change is still free. Every adjustment is made here, on paper, before load-in, crew, and hire costs start running.
Lighting states, cues, and content are pre-visualised in real time against the approved design.
long, expensive on-site programming — looks and cues are built and proven in the virtual space first, cutting the most costly hours on the schedule.
Complete plots, plans, and fully engineered rigging drawings are issued to every supplier and department from a single technical package. Rigging is calculated in Vectorworks Braceworks — every truss load, hoist load, and distributed weight is worked out and documented, not estimated. These are load-calculated construction drawings, not basic rig plots.
inaccurate quotes, scope creep, and the wrong equipment on site — every supplier works from one accurate package.
rigging guesswork — clients, venues, and riggers approve calculated load numbers instead of estimates, so structural sign-off stays fast and safe.
We lead the technical delivery on the ground through load-in, rehearsal, and live broadcast.
translation loss between design and delivery — the show that was signed off is the show that goes on air.
These aren't separate services you pick from a menu — they're the specialist capabilities Tryfer brings to bear at the right stage of the process above, from first concept through to live delivery.
Concept-to-console lighting for broadcast, concert, and awards environments — designed in the model, previsualised, and programmed on grandMA3 for live delivery.
Physical staging, scenic architecture, and integrated LED — designed to frame the performance and read on camera, resolved in the technical model before build.
Unifying lighting, video, audio, staging, and rigging into one coherent technical system across every stage of the pipeline.
On-the-ground leadership that keeps every department on schedule, on spec, and on air through load-in, rehearsal, and broadcast.
Screen and projection content designed to integrate with the lighting and set — part of the same visual system, not competing with it.
Strategic creative and technical input at concept stage — what's achievable, what it costs, and how to realise the look within the resources available.
Build, review, approve, and pre-program your show before a single truck arrives on site. Studio Previz is available on its own — you don't have to be a Tryfer-designed show to use it. Bring your own design, an agency concept, or a show drawn by another designer; we build it as a real-time model in Depence R4 and pre-program it on grandMA3, so every look and cue is proven before load-in.
CueMaster is Tryfer's own show-control software, developed in-house. Where a production needs something the standard toolset can't do, we build it ourselves rather than wait for an off-the-shelf system to catch up.
It reflects a simple principle: Tryfer builds production technology — we don't only hire and operate other people's systems. CueMaster runs alongside our grandMA3 workflow, giving us control we can shape to the show.
Developed for our own productions and evolving with every show — CueMaster isn't a commercial product or a public release. It's a look at how we work.
Ask about CueMasterTryfer stays your central production-design and technical-direction partner. For the wider technical scope, we work with a trusted network of specialist suppliers and coordinate them on your behalf — so you brief one team, and we carry the rest. We don't claim to do every discipline in-house; we direct the specialists who do.
Technical drawing, 3D modelling, and rig documentation. Every fixture, every cable, on the page before it's on the truck.
Rigging engineering and load calculation. Truss loads, hoist loads, and distributed weights calculated and documented — so venues and riggers approve real numbers, not estimates.
Real-time pre-visualisation and photoreal rendering. The full show — lighting, content, and looks — proven in the virtual space before load-in.
Photoreal rendering of the set and stage environment, so clients sign off on exactly what will be on air.
Industry-standard show control for all programming and live operation. Pre-programming via grandMA3 viz-key and Vision simulation before any fixture is rigged.
Primary fixture ecosystem — ESPRITES, BMFLs, MegaPointes, Spiiders, Tetra2 battens, and the full LEDBeam range.
