Follow-Me Announces Training Workshop and Booth Presentations at LDI 2025Follow-Me announces its training workshop and booth presentations at LDI, taking place this weekend in Las Vegas. Technical applications specialist Henk-jan Blok will lead a Follow-Me 3D Fundamentals training workshop supported by Chris Lose, designer relations liaison North America, and dive into a creative user case presented by longtime Follow-Me specialist Matt Mills at the Follow-Me booth during the expo, at 1:15pm on December 7 and 8. The company invites industry professionals to register for this hands-on learning experience and visit Booth #2329 in partnership with AC Americas. At Follow-Me, Blok bridges real-world projects and development, translating practical needs into technical solutions while ensuring seamless integration across system design, commissioning, training, support, and deployment. The Follow-Me 3D Fundamentals training workshop provides hands-on experience with the Follow-Me 3D manual performer tracking system. Attendees will learn how to prepare, set up, calibrate, fine-tune, and integrate a Follow-Me 3D system, while exploring real-world use cases that highlight how performer tracking technology enhances creative possibilities and workflow. An initial glimpse of Follow-Me Track-iT automated performer tracking will also be shown. Participants will discover how to track multiple performers with one setup, troubleshoot effectively, and apply industry best practices. The course is ideal for lighting designers, programmers, technicians, follow-spot operators, and production managers. The Follow-Me team at LDI will include Marc van der Wel (managing director), Erik Berends (founder and technical director), Blok, Luke Edwards (designer relations UK), and Chris Lose (designer relations USA - Follow-Me 3D SIX). Follow-Me systems can be used for manual and automated performer tracking. The systems work independently of any fixture manufacturer. One manual 3D system can follow up to six performers in a stage area with an unlimited set of fixtures per performer. The systems utilize any fixture, as long as the fixture can pan and tilt, for general lighting, follow-spotting, and special effects. Follow-Me systems merge and integrate with lighting consoles over Art-Net and sACN. The 3D SIX license provides PosiStageNet (PSN) and Open Sound Contoll (OSC) data output to synchronize position data with audio, video systems, and media servers. The Follow-Me TRACK-iT automated performer tracking system utilizes RF tags placed on performers, communicating with antennas across the performance area. Follow-Me 3D SIX and TRACK-iT also team up as a hybrid setup, working together for a smooth, immersive experience and seamless switching between modes, the company says. Follow-Me's performer tracking solutions have been trusted by productions worldwide, including recent tours such as Alanis Morissette's Las Vegas residency, The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and Mötley Crüe's Las Vegas residency at Park MGM.
