History

After viewing a show that Tetlow designed in Las Vegas in 1991, an executive from Carnival Cruise Lines hired him to light their shows onboard a new ship, Carnival Sensation. Lighting design on further ships followed and in 1994 Tetlow was asked to consult on the entertainment facilities for Carnival Destiny, the first cruise ship in excess of 100,000 tons. Following that success, the fledgling company quickly expanded as they were called upon to now design all the new entertainment systems for most of the Carnival brands that includes Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Crociere, Holland America, Seabourn, and Cunard. As of 2008, NED has provided theatre consulting & design services for over 29 ships including the largest ocean liner in the world, the RMS Queen Mary 2[2].

Cruise ship entertainment system design

Included in their consulting services for the 29 theatres, 71 lounges & bars and 22 dance clubs, they have been responsible for the design and commissioning of the lighting, audio, video, large screen projection, special effects and stage mechanical systems for all the showrooms, lounges and discos/dance clubs as well as consulting on the broadcast television systems and architectural lighting systems for the atriums, restaurants and other public spaces[3]. They were also responsible for the design of the jumbo 270-sq. ft. LED video walls that have been installed in Carnival’s various ships called the “Seaside Theatre.”

Lighting design

Besides their extensive work for the cruise lines, NED has also designed new lighting systems for the Architect of the Capitol including feasibility designs for the United States Senate and House of Representatives chambers in Washington, D.C..

Additional architectural lighting design projects include both the interior and exterior lighting of the Silver Star Hotel & Casino in Philadelphia, Missouri, special architectural feature lighting onboard the Holland America ship “MS Rotterdam”; and the Fountain of Angels in Carthage, Missouri.

Special Event lighting design includes the Hong Kong Handover Ceremony to China (Transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong), the Macau Handover Ceremony to China (Transfer of sovereignty of Macau) & Singapore’s 25th Jubilee Spectacular. They were responsible for lighting the 2000[4], 2004[5] and 2008 United States presidential election debates as well as the vice-presidential election debates.

Corporate clients for which NED provided lighting design services for shows, events and exhibits include: Chrysler, GM, Hewlett Packard[6], IBM, Infiniti, Intel, Jeep, McDonalds, Nissan, Porsche, Toyota and Wal-Mart.
