Music shows
Graphics shows built to a track, animated beat by beat so the drawing and the music land together.
Scope
What I make
Abstracts & VJ loops
Seamless looping cues for clubs, festivals and live sets, tuned to hold at performance scan rates.
Character & story animation
Hand-animated figures with real weight and timing. The hardest thing to do in laser, and the rarest.
Dome & planetarium shows
Full segments or complete shows, built for the geometry and the slower scan speeds domes usually run.
Brand & product launch sequences
Logo builds, product forms and typography for launches, activations and showroom openings.
Screen content too
LaserLair is a brand of Mareld Productions, a studio that also produces screen-based media. If your show needs video or projection content alongside the laser work, that can be handled under the same roof.
Process
How a project runs
Phase 01
Discovery
A conversation about the venue, the hardware, the audience and the deadline. I'll tell you honestly if a scope won't work, and what the alternatives are.
Phase 02
Storyboard
Frames, timing, concept and design ideas and a written treatment before any animation begins. Approved in writing before moving on to production.
Phase 03
Animation
Built with previews at agreed milestones, so you can see progress rather than waiting for a complete reveal.
Phase 04
Scan test
Verified on your hardware and scan rate where possible, either on the hardware available to me or sent over for you to test.
Phase 05
Delivery & handover
Final files, a written license, and documentation your operators can follow.
Budget
What it costs
Rough starting figures rather than quotes. Every project is priced after the discovery email. Scope and pricing are flexible, so tell me your budget and I will plan a project that fits it.

Next step
Tell me what you're building
A short email is enough to start: the venue, roughly what you have in mind, and when it has to be running. I'll tell you what's possible and what it would cost. If you already know your budget, say so and I can propose a solution around that price.
