Luke is committed, creative and enthusiastic. He brings a broad range of experience to bear on his lighting designs, and is quick to find solutions and suggestions that suit the brief and timescale, while maintaining the highest standards.
Luke has provided technical support for four of my productions in 2012-13 and I would be delighted to have him involved in the future. Highly recommended.
I’ve worked with Luke on a number of projects. His skills, work ethic and expertise make him highly valued – and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
I worked with Luke on several medium scale theatrical productions over three years and found him to be a thoroughly competent, knowledgeable, professional Lighting Designer and Production Manager. He is highly creative and adaptable and worked well in high pressure situations with tight deadlines. He also has excellent communication skills and is a great team player. He developed an excellent rapport with the students and maintained patience and professionalism throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any prospective employer.
Luke was very efficient, creative and easy to work with. I would definitely hire him again and recommend to others.
I have known and worked with Luke for many years. In 2008/09 he toured with my one-man-show ‘I Shot Dirty Den’ as lighting operative and Stage-Manager. I have worked with him on many productions at the Rondo Theatre in Bath, and would recommend him highly as a conscientious worker who can think out of the box when required; something that Sound and Lighting Design often needs in tight turn around situations. My “first pick” in his field.
Luke is an impressive and extremely personable self-starter, with a sharp eye for his audience.
As a beneficiary, member, supporter of his Theatre Bath, I have watched with admiration as he has invested time, energy and imagination into creating an enviable professional organisation very quickly.
I have no doubt that he will lead this from strength to strength and very much hope to be watching from close up.
Luke was a fantastic Technician and Production Manager – always willing to jump into any role as required. Always put 100% of the effort in until the very end of the production (and beyond). Budgets, lighting, sound, costume, set, scripts, bands, tickets, posters etc . . . . all organised by Luke.
Hire this man. He will make you look good. I have worked with Luke on non-tech projects and seen his work before but I have to take more space and recommend him as a tech superstar. I pulled together a day of full-on workshopping a new script, followed immediately by an audience showing that night. Luke saw the script just days beforehand. Light and sound are essential to the audience’s understanding / experience of this show. And WOW. There was one run-through before the show in a 11-hour day, and Luke’s art, skill, good grace, calm and general professionalism make him a go-to of the highest calibre. He is a credit to our industry and I very much hope I can be in the position to have him on my team again before long.
Luke is a superb lighting designer and operator. He is flexible, a good communicator and incredibly quick at responding to the needs of a director. I would wholeheartedly recommend him.
“We had the pleasure of working with Luke for our first virtual Asia Pacific Commonwealth Parliamentary Forum on Climate Change. Luke was a reliable and trusted member of the production team and we want to thank him for his flexibility and initiative. The virtual Forum production was flawless and many participants found the process extremely smooth thanks to the clear and confident instruction by Luke.”
If you’re looking for a tech native to support your online events then look no further than Luke Emmett. Luke helped me run a conference for 200 professionals using Hopin – he was responsible for the backstage area of the event, making sure that everything was as slick as possible for the attendees. I left my speakers and sponsors in his capable hands and Luke explained everything (how to share slides, the optimum tech set up) clearly and was brilliant at answering questions. In fact, Luke was super responsive whenever I had any queries. A positive and calm person to have involved in event day, I would highly recommend Luke if you’re hosting an online event in future.
