Pan Tilt

20 September 2011

Trevor Peters and Kurt Du Preez   Pan Tilt was officially launched at Mediatech in July 2011 and their first purchase was 8 brand new Vari-Lite VLX fixtures.  

Pan Tilt is the new partnership between Kurt Du Preez and Trevor Peters from Matrix. “How it came about was that Trevor specialized in sound, but because of the excellent service he offered, clients preferred him doing all the technical work on a gig,” explained Kurt. “ After doing a few major shows over the last couple of years, Trevor approached me with the intension of setting up a new lighting company that would uphold the same service level.”

The team have already worked on a couple of notable events and work in the pipeline includes three stands at the Johannesburg Motor Show, corporate events and the regular dry hire of their gear. Their vision is to eventually be a high end lighting design company that also focuses on specialised rigging.“It’s very exciting and very scary at the same time,” said Kurt candidly.

The VLX fixtures literally came out of their boxes and straight onto their first gig. “The colour you get out of the VLXs is awesome,” said Kurt. “They are bright, quick and LED make them green. This is cutting edge stuff.”

Pan Tilt make work easier by pre-designing. Kurt places original designs and rendering on YouTube. For those interested, his channel is CPT Kurt 1.

May the future be bright for this young company!
