About IDC
Illumination Design & Concepts is a Los Angeles-based creative production studio working at the intersection of lighting, video, stage design, and live show execution. We partner with artists, creative teams, and production leaders to turn music into immersive, tour-ready experiences — from early creative concepts through programming, rehearsals, and show operation.

What We Do
IDC builds shows from both sides of the table: creative vision and technical delivery.
Early concept development, artist collaboration, moodboarding, and the creative framework that shapes every department's direction from day one.
Stage, lighting, and video designed as a unified system — with the scaling logic to move seamlessly from theaters to arenas to stadiums.
Full lighting design, grandMA3 programming, timecode integration, and LD services built for touring reality — reliable across every venue on the run.
Live video direction, screens producing, and content integration — creative control over every pixel from the media server to the LED wall.
Stage architecture, environmental design, and scenic concepts that give the show a world — not just a rig — translating creative direction into buildable reality.
Complete Disguise/d3 or depence previz of every song. Cues, content, and camera direction locked before load-in day — so rehearsal time is spent refining, not building.
Load-in direction, technical rehearsals, opening night, and the on-tour cadence — content refreshes, system audits, and the long-term partnership that keeps the show sharp.
How We Work
Great live shows are not accidents. We define the world, design the system, previsualize the moments, program the details, and support the show as it moves from rehearsal to stage.
Artist sessions, references, story, scale, schedule — and the moments the tour must own.
Stage, lighting, and video designed as one system. Drawings, looks, signature cues.
Full previz of every song. Cues, content, and camera direction approved before load-in.
Console programming, timecode, content integration. Show files travel-ready.
Load-in direction, rehearsals, opening night supervision, venue calibration.
On-tour direction, content refreshes, and the long-term partnership that keeps the show sharp.
Studio
A Los Angeles creative production studio — built at the intersection of creative direction, lighting, video, and technical execution. Joseph Diaz leads IDC's work as both creative director and LD, bringing a hybrid perspective that most production teams have to split across two or three people.
