  • Clay Paky's world headquarters and manufacturing facility in the heart of Italy is responsible for developing and producing some of the most iconic and forward-thinking fixtures and lighting technologies in the world. I've been wanting to visit for a while now, and I wanted to bring you along as well. In this video, we travel to Bergamo, Italy to see their assembly line and quality control processes.
    Thanks to the entire team at Clay Paky for allowing me into their facility to see how they make their products.

    Thanks Alena and Marco for being such wonderful hosts :) we had very limited time to see everything they had to offer, so I’m sorry about the rushed nature of this video in some parts. Wish I could have spent more time there. Oh well, guess that just means I’ll have to go back sometime soon.

    Big fan of their products. Never could afford to own them (and really - as a mobile small time DJ it's a bit overkill). Have used Clay Paky in club settings though. It's been some 5 years since I retired and it's really cool to see how their products continue to evolve.
    Great vid and a big thanx to the CP staff for letting us have a look. :)

I really love mixing and electronics but a year and and a half ago when I found your channel I realized that I want to program lights like you do. I don't know where to start but I know this is what I want to do later in life. Do you have any tips on where and how to start? I have been thinking about downloading MA on pc after my brother and I are done building our pc, but is that free and if so will it help me? Thanks for reading, your work is really good.
