Emmy winning lighting designer, Jeff Ravitz, has been nominated for the prestigious Emmy Award for Outstanding Lighting Design by the Pacific Southwest chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), for his design of the Salute To Teachers Awards 2006. The broadcast is presented by Cox Communications and NBC Channel 4 San Diego and is co-produced by the San Diego County Office of Education.
The annual awards program is a black tie affair produced at the San Diego Civic Theatre, and celebrates excellence in teaching for San Diego County. Ravitz and his team, which includes associate designer, Kristie Roldan and programmer, Chris Hammond, used the extensive equipment inventory of the Civic, as well as a package of Vari*Lite automated fixtures supplied by Starlight Services.
“The producers wanted an Academy Award-style production, but with a price tag commensurate with their comparatively leaner budget,” Ravitz comments. “We were able to get the maximum bang for the buck, and still cover all the bases of a show that included live entertainment, hosts, presenters and winners, and a full audience that had to be treated with a huge award show approach.”
Ravitz recently concluded shooting a PBS pledge special for Willie Nelson, and another PBS special with Irish choral group, Anúna, as well as broadcasts for Michael Bublé, Fall Out Boy and Nellie Furtado. He is a six-time Emmy nominee and has been honored with statues for one Primetime and two regional awards.
