What are the automatic basics that you build when creating a new show file. I'm relatively new and I've been going through manuals both digital and physical, listening to and watching YouTube and other instructional videos. While it's nice to know what everything a console can do, I'm curious to some of the tips and techniques from the community here. I'm having fun playing around with the possibilities for different shows and everything but most of it is busking and completely pulling something out of thin Air. But what're some must haves basics for lighting. General go-tos and should haves. In terms of programming, physical fixture positions.
I'm working in a theater venue. What I would consider mid-size as I've got 3LX pipes above stage(16 channels each plus LX2 & LX1 have two lustr series two with fresnel lenses in DMX). My Front of House has 18 channels(two currently not operational) with two lustr's with zoom lenses. I have 2 pocket alcoves lower and further back than front of house lights. 2 channels in each alcove. Approximately 10 channels in floor pockets on the stage itself. Needless to say I feel like a kid again when I was given a Lite Brite. I'm really loving the environment and hoping this could turn into a full time position. Thanks for any feedback!
