Spend the day with David Moseley, Managing Director of Wavetrain Cinemas and Australia’s most awarded cinema designer, as he walks you through the process of creating high-performance private cinemas. This in-depth workshop is designed for practicing and aspiring designers who want to deliver exceptional cinematic experiences that meet both client expectations and industry standards.
Using real-world projects and decades of experience, David will cover:
- Room Layout & Dimensions – How to optimise proportions, seating positions, and sightlines for both comfort and immersion.
- Acoustics – The fundamentals of room treatment, sound isolation, and controlling reflections for accurate, impactful audio.
- Video Performance – Screen sizing, projection technologies, and HDR considerations to achieve reference-level image quality.
- Audio Design – Loudspeaker placement, subwoofer configuration, immersive audio formats, and calibration strategies.
- Aesthetics & Integration – Balancing technical requirements with interior design goals, including lighting, finishes, and concealment of technology.
- System Design & Documentation – Creating detailed plans, wiring schedules, and specifications to ensure predictable, repeatable results.
The day will also include discussions on emerging technologies, current trends in luxury cinema spaces, and how to position cinema design as a premium offering in your business. Attendees will leave with a framework they can immediately apply to deliver truly world-class cinemas that perform as beautifully as they look.
