The Stories Behind

Capture's origin story starts early 1994 when Lars Wernlund's science teacher engaged him as a lighting technician in Youthquake - a youth theatre project. His introduction to the lighting design process and the teamwork that goes into producing shows inspired him. Having used up a couple of erasers while drafting lighting plots using a pencil, Lars quickly combined his newfound interest with another - computers and programming. The idea of creating a computer software where symbols could be moved around on the plot freely is how Capture was born.
