Martin Kempton - television lighting director Welcome to my website.  I am a television lighting director with a decade's previous experience as a BBC staffer but I've now been freelance for six years. This website is aimed at producers, directors and production managers seeking a suitable LD for their next show.  If you fall into this category then you are more than welcome!  If not, you will find it very dull. Click on the buttons on the left for more information.  The 'CV' page gives a summary of my television career and a selection of about fifty programmes I have lit in the past few years.  Have a look at the 'stills of TV work' page to see what some of those shows looked like.  For a list of everything I have worked on recently - go to 'all TV work.'   Sorry if it's all a bit 'me! me! me!'  I'm not usually like this, (at least, I hope not), but it's hard to know quite how to present myself in the best possible light without sounding like a complete pain in the ... you get the picture.             Information for students... I am occasionally contacted by people seeking info about what the job of a lighting director involves or how they might best go about entering the industry. Unfortunately, there are no longer clear-cut routes to becoming an LD but I have written some pages that might help a little.  Click on the relevant buttons on the left to find out more.                       Meanwhile, for those who are looking for my history of London's television studios - it can be found at... www.tvstudiohistory.co.uk     Freelance work has included: Al Murray's Happy Hour Al Murray's Multiple Personality Disorder An Audience/Another Audience With Al Murray An Audience With Harry Hill The Catherine Tate Show Coupling Distraction Eggheads French and Saunders The Green Green Grass Grownups Harry Hill's TV Burp I'm Alan Partridge Little Britain Not Going Out The Peter Serafinowicz Show Shooting Stars To The Manor Born Christmas Special The Omid Djalili Show TV Heaven, Telly Hell Who Dares Wins The Vicar of Dibley Please click on 'CV' button on the left for more information or 'all tv work' button for full list of programmes.
