FOUNDER/PROJECT
MANAGER
Art found his passion for backstage production through acting, realizing that behind the scenes was where he wanted to be. Thirty years later he is the head rigger for some of the largest world touring productions, all while providing full CAD services from seating charts to 3D renderings for the most intricate of shows.
FOUNDER/PROJECT

Marc has been rigging for over two decades. Cutting his teeth in the arenas of the US Southeast. Soon after he began touring where he honed his skills while on the road. Marc enjoys fine tuning his CAD and Excel skills to try and streamline the processes required in this technical rigging day and age. Marc is ETCP certified and a Level II SPRAT certified technician
AMG Rigging was born out of the opportunity for Art and Marc to provide a safer rigging environment through the use of our Broadweigh wireless load-sensor system. With an added passion for CAD work, AMG Rigging can provide detailed drawings using dynamic blocks and attributes acquired from the Log 100 program.
AMG Rigging can provide full service load monitoring with reports for your rehearsals, or on tour, or for a convention. Daily monitoring a rig assures that AMG's calibrated sensors will prevent overloading hoists, truss, or structures.
Documentation from a full rehearsal sensor reading, can put your mind at ease. By making AMG's comprehensive report part of your advance packet to venues, will solidify the accuracy of your rigging weights. With AMG's calibrated sensors, you can show accurate loads, not estimations.
Taking the design to reality through CAD is a necessity these days. Our custom overlays of venues can make a load-in that much smoother, from a design to implementation. AMG Rigging can CAD your project.
Protect your investment or rental. Vinyl covers for CM lodestar, Model L and Model F, we've got you covered.
16 of our cells monitored the center hung grid spreaders for Travis's automated pod movement, while on tour.
We covered a rehearsal weight report and 28 cells monitored the automated lighting pods, while on tour.
We currently have 83 cells on tour monitoring the Fly Tracks and Dynamic Grid movements for all the flown automated movements in the rig.
We had 21 of our cells assist in trimming the main grid over the stage. Then for the tour, we monitored the movement of the automated lighting trusses suspended from the grid.
Rehearsal reports for select items in the rig and maintained 21 cells on tour to monitor the 3 video walls
Rehearsal reports for the entire rig and maintained 24 cells on tour to monitor the automation rig
Rehearsal reports for the entire rig and maintained 16 cells on tour to monitor the automation rig

The Broadweigh load cells are fully weatherized (IP67), built to withstand the demands of challenging environments and weather conditions.
When renting from AMG Rigging, you will receive a Thinkpad laptop preloaded with monitoring software including the capability to do reports. When we start the communication process, about your requirements, we can set up the sensors with your point ID’s plus use your plot for the monitoring visualization.
On the provided thinkpad, open the log100 file provided for your tour from AMG. That should wake the sensors up, if not, go to the 'Sleep & Wake' tab on the top left of your screen. Or hit, "CTRL W". If we set up a custom visualization for your project, on the top menu bar, click view, then visualization.
Confirm that the correct sensor is under the correct hoist. Sometimes a sensor can get misplaced in the rig, which can cause issues when balancing loads. If the sensor is in the correct position, and the display is not changing, allow a few seconds for sensor to finish communicating with base station. You can also try moving the display and base station closer to sensor.
