PARKER SHIPPEY
IATSE LOCAL 52
CHIEF POWER & EVENT CONSULTANT
Parker is a Chief Lighting Technician & Electrician who has been working in the Jurisdiction of I.A.T.S.E. Local 52 for over a decade.
As a CLT & ACLT, Parker has extensive experience managing personnel, leading and training future technicians on power concepts, lighting, and safety. Parker brings this expertise to each and every consultation in order to provide services for our clients that are catered to their needs, and ensure their success.
Parker rented equipment to film productions early on in his career, focusing on specialty lighting equipment and the miscellaneous Expendables that productions use day-to-day. His early adoption and addition of LED lights to his inventory pre-empted the industry-wide shift to the more efficient fixtures. Moreover, Parker altered the Expendables model traditionally utilized by productions, where every expendable is bought outright, and much of the usable materials left over at the end of productions go to waste.
These were just the first steps in a grander plan to reduce the unneccessary waste and rampant energy consumption Parker faced on a daily basis. While going green may be perceived by many to be an added cost and a hinderence to creativity, under the leadership of Parker Shippey, the aim is the contrary: empowering clients with resources for excellence and growth by providing cost effective solutions for industries impacted by the impending and inevitable demand for sustainability.
