Hey everybody, So I have to do a project on a theatrical product that we don't use in my college's theare. I have chose to do it on the new Apollo's new right arm with dxm iris. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. I know that they are not out yet but I was wondering if...

Having done this before I would recommend running WYG on a serperate computer especailly if you have a good rendering computer and then run the hog software on your laptop. That would allow you to control on one and see live updates on the other, works really nicely on my machine which is a bit...

Just gonna throw my 2 cents.When I was in high school two of us had keys for the majority of the school including all of the theatre, for a couple of reasons. First we ran every event there that need sound or wanted to use the stage. Second we basically ran stage crew, our td was always there...

I don't know the exact type of lubricate but I would definitely be very very care about how much you put on. I was the fly guy is high school and the first thing my td taught me was never ever ever get lube near the break, I know it seems pretty obivous but I have seen it over looked.

I know around here Rosco 39 is referred to as titty bar pink.

Having had to do this a number of times my advice is to just move the console on to stage, much more effcient then running back and forth and is most case could probably be left there for a couple of days while you focus your lights.

I have personally always thought that hang cards are much more pratical. Having just coming off of a light hang I ran, the abilitly to whip out hang cards quickly and just had them out to people and it contains all of the information needed.

To go on the topic of Fresnels and their use, I have always be a huge fan of using them as top light or shallow back light. I personally do not like using par cans in any respect but I do see there use as high side lighting with their beam goin in the direction of the pipe. As front light I do...

One of the first things I always attempted to do is to make the guitarist to do is to turn down their amps to as low as they can and then mic the amp with a SM57. You get a ton more control of the sound by doing that. I would also say that getting a drum shield is another very very important...

Being a theatre student taking classes in lighting and sound design I would say that the Parker/Wolf/Block book is the best choice. At my school we use it for 3 classes our Stagecraft class, our basic Stage Lighting class, and Sound design. I have found the book to be very helpful when used as...

Hey Mike, welcome to controlbooth. I'm glad to see a fellow UWGB student/alumni here.

I would like to know why a person can't post a companys name when the company acted that way. I understand that it is a small industry but that doesn't mean we should lower our standards to costumer service. To be honest I would expect better custumer service from companies because there are...

At my school we use parnels all of the time, we mostly replaced our fresnels with them. They are great intruments to work with, great ease of use and very nice coverage.

I know that Frost Lighing has a branch in Chicago that my friend worked at. I am not sure if there have a internships but I do know that they do on job training so you might look into a job with them.

So i have a question little off topic but it has been buggin me. When you guys say Source Four leko's you mean the ERS right? Its a term that I've never heard before. If my guess is right why do you call them leko's isn't that another brand of lighting istrument completely?Thanks
