    Old, Old lighting fixtures?

    SIU Carbondale still uses instruments from the 1920s. They had the lighting system remodeled about 5 years ago and received some new Source4 from the rigging company as compensation for a couple of botched line-sets.

    Moving Lights

    Go to the major makers of automated lights. If you have a local college community or otherwise, contact the theater or events Facilities supervisor to find out where s/he gets the stuff. The colleges host rock concerts. Barney live, or other shows, and they always need a source to get...

    An ethics question

    The answer is NO, there is nothing wrong from the transaction of a business. Now what you need to do is look at the quality of the product you are providing vs. the quality of the toys vs. your hapiness being able to do what you are doing at that place vs. your total compensation. If there...

    Grid Collapses in Atlantic City on Concert Tour

    Flicker/strobe effect

    You would have to sequence the entire movement cue by cue with that board. You can do it though. In 1993 when we used like 4 VL1s for our Variety Show we started Act II with a Lights show set to the Beatles Strawberry Fields. We were using an ETC Vision Board, because our Kliegel performer...
