Having successfully developed the children’s TV character ‘Bob the Builder’ during the last three years, HIT Entertainment recently turned to the Lighting Technology Group to supply and install luminaires and grip equipment for its five Manchester studios.

Andy Dodd, sales manager at LTG, worked closely with Joe Dembinski, one of HOT Animation’s directors, on the project. He commented: "It was great to be involved with someone as famous as Bob the Builder. Lighting plays an enormous role in a project such as this and it’s always a pleasure to be associated with such a successful production."

Joe explained his reason for using ARRI products: "I chose ARRI luminaires because of their reliability and performance. Due to their high efficiency and light weight they have proven to be a good choice when working in miniature when space is at a premium."

Following on from this high profile installation the Lighting Technology Group have notably supplied and commissioned Strand dimmers at Meridian TV. More recently LTG were successful in winning orders for a large number of ARRI Daylight systems and tungsten heads, along with Kinoflo and Kobold equipment, for BBC Scotland’s new Dumbarton project.
