Hey everyone....Need some input here. I am a high school senior interested in Lighting Design/Technology and I have applied to a few schools. I have narrowed it down to North Carolina School of the Arts and Columbia College of Chicago.UNCSA is very well known for the students they put out...

Hi everyone!I am a senior and have been looking at colleges. I wanted to get some more opinions, even though my applications are mostly done and all...I am going for a BA or BFA (depending on the school) with my concentration in lighting.The schools I have looked at: -UNCSA -CalArts...

Hi everyone,Sorry for posting my second topic this week but I wanted to see if I could get any insight on this.At school we have an Leviton Innovator 48 Board, and there is something in the manual about ColorNet...I searched online and on this forum, but couldnt find anything that was...

Thank you all so, so much for the very fast and very insightful replies! I really appreciate how helpful everyone is, even if my question seems stupid and basic. I hope to put more groups to use with my upcoming school show. Thanks again! :)

Hi everyeone,I have a quick question concerning "groups" in lighting...I was observing a tech rehearsal, sittting behind the Tech Table and got to listen in on LD and what he was doing with the board op....alot of his cues would use, for example "Group 128 at full" or "Group 14 at 50"My...

I will try to write up a proposal after getting some support.Any thing that I should def. include in the proposal when I mention why I think they should purchase a new school? That is what I would need help with, thanks!

Chris, I have been looking at the element and it seems to have everything we would need, especially since this would be turning into the middle school.I would love to mention this to them, but I really think they are going to say they wont purchase one because it will be becoming the middle...

OK, I understand what you are saying. I am able to create very nice looks with the current board but running a show with 100+ cues is very tough because of all the manual work. I was just thinking that a new board would be something more up to date and better for those who will be doing...

I would love to do that at a community theater. I do all that stuff at my high school for the community events, I cut gels, take tickets, help with refreshments, etc. And I always help set up the sound and lighting equipment for every show. I really want to show my school that a new board or...

I am in cental nj (monroe twp) and the community theaters prefer to use the lighting people that have worked with them for 5 to 10 years instead of letting new people try. I will look into that book and keep reading threads on here. Thanks! Posted via Mobile Device

Thanks for the great advice! I will try to bring it up to them, as it is hard running the shows with the board we have now. And you are right, any memory console will help us so much as the cues can be programmed into it. The shows I do usually have 100+ cues and the lighting is being done...

Les, The etc element looks great! I will research many though. As of now, I think they won't even consider a new one as they are getting a "new" one for the new high school in 3 to 4 years. I want to be able to learn on a good console because I think I want to go to college and become a...

I have read a ton of posts on getting a new console, some new and some old. I am now further researching the boards like the ETC Ion and others comparable to that. I think we would just want something more up to date, easier to use, and one that can actually record cues. Because in our shows...

Right, the new console would benefit not just me but everyone after me. I will try to pitch both ideas after researching. Now, any specific console you guys would reccomend? I've read the threads on picking a new console but I REALLY don't know what I would want to use and what I would be...

Les, Since the school is staying open with the same theater and all...do you think I should try for the new board? Try for a software solution? Or, think I should just stick this board that I am starting to hate LOL? Posted via Mobile Device
