CULVER CITY, CA — Premier Lighting out of Sun Valley, once again set the stage for holiday magic at the Sony Pictures Studios Annual Holiday Party, supplying Antari snow machines as part of a fully immersive seasonal production. Premier Lighting used professional-grade snow effects to create a festive winter atmosphere, with snowfall greeting guests as they entered the event space. Now in its eighth consecutive year of producing this signature event, Premier Lighting once again relied on Antari snow solutions to transform the venue into a holiday celebration.
To achieve the desired effect, Premier Lighting deployed a comprehensive lineup of Antari snow machines, including 4 S-100X, 4 S-200X, and 4 SW-300 units. The S-100X machines were positioned at the event’s welcome entrance, creating an immediate holiday moment for arriving guests. Additional S-200X and SW-300 machines were rigged on truss above the dance floor and surrounding areas, providing wide coverage and consistent snowfall that enhanced both the visual design and guest experience.
“We use Antari snow machines on all our end-of-year productions that want that extra holiday magic,” said Cameron Massey, Lighting Programmer at Premier Lighting. “This year provided another successful Holiday Party for Sony Pictures Studios using a variety of Antari machines. The S-100 units provided the main coverage for welcoming guests and getting them in the holiday spirit, while the S-200s covered the dance floor. For further area coverage, we rely on the SW-300 series to really push the snow so that everyone can enjoy the snowfall.”
Premier Lighting provided full event production services, including lighting, rigging, video (supported by Pixelwerks), snow machines, programming, and media asset management, with production management by Wynn Zucchero. Lighting design was led by Mark Sedman, Lighting Designer, alongside Kyle Hollars, Vice President of Premier Lighting. In addition to Sony Pictures Studios’ Holiday Party, Premier Lighting frequently relies on Antari snow machines for other high-profile events throughout the season —further demonstrating Antari Lighting’s role in delivering reliable, high-impact atmospheric effects for premier holiday productions.
