Thanks for the offer but I'm afraid thats a bit of a trip from Rhode Island. I had planned to run the show off cues anyway. I no longer use a large number of faders (as I did when I first learned how to operate a Light board) because you can end up with a different show each time and it is very...

I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of this. I recently had a weird experience when trying to buy gels at my local rental house. I had ask for a Rosco color and was told in reply that the rental house only sold Lee gels and that they could sell me the equivilent gel color by Lee. This...

The money is there for us to rent a more moving light based lighting controler. However we only have the rental equipment for a week proor to the show and I would very much like to already be able to know how to use the board when we recieve the rental so I can jump right into programing it. And...

Im in the same boat with you. I have been looking at Electrical Engineering as a major, but I want a place where I can also do technical theatre. I have heard great things about NYU and have worked for a LD who got his MFA there. I have also been looking at Carnege Mellon because I have heard...

Wow thanks. I really hope I get a kit. That is a pretty sweet deal.

Why would you... There is no reason to gaff your connections. Just make sure there is no tension on the connectors (or tails for that matter) and fix any loose conectors. And you can save your gaff.

At the moment this is an idea that is in the lead because of Light Jockey's visualizer and ease of use. The only worry I would have about splitting up my moving and conventional lighting is coordinating between the two of them. But currently this is a viable solution for me.

Re: High School Theater Experience. Many times it is because you are forced to be creative. My highschool has 0 (ZERO) of our own lighting so there were times when we have to see how creative we can be on five thousand bucks and a 24 ch Dimmer pack. But another way you learn to be...

1) I only have one piece of advice with number one. When "jerry-rigging" have a plan, and don't take anything apart to the point you can't get it back together right and it will become "forever jerry-rigged" 2) As far as software goes PowerPoint is the best as far as simplicity with number...

Sorry I forgot to answer these questions earlier. It is a variety show with music, dance and comedy acts, but the movers will probably only be used for the music and dance acts. It is my intention to cue the whole show from start to finish because I may need to train a board op ( and I would...

Also, Will I have to have seperate cues for my moving and my conventional lighting? (conventional on A/B fader and Moving on C/D Fader) I need a new cue for whenever a ML changes position right?

In response to the getting caluses on my fingers you DO know that you can use the [+] and [-] keys to "scroll" through intensities, right? So from the sound of it it is actually possible it just takes a long time to do. As far as focus points will someone explain to me how they are similar to...

Ok... I want to start by saying that I have never used Inelligent lighting before (as far as moving heads goes) and I am going to be working on a show later this year with between 5 and 10 Mac 500s. I am most familiar with using ETC Lighting Consoles but I have heard people say that "It is a sin...

Actors are in theatre for the money (and an atempt at getting famous) Technicians and Stage hands are in it for doing something that were good at that isnt deathly boring.

I have only ever heard of one... the GAM Scene Machine. If anyone has used it how well does it work. Pros, cons??
