Hi guys, names Vred, new here (clearly). Little bout myself, I'm 22, live in Melbourne Aus and currently run my own little lighting company for local bands/festivals/gigs, I'm generally hired out to work the desk / design the show / program the show / put up-pack down the rig, you name it. It's been pretty simple, straight forward work, until now.
This weekend I am incharge of one of my cities biggest festivals, we are hiring in a bunch of movers and a Hog 250 to go along with it, I know my way around a desk and how to program most anything, but I am alittle lost when it comes to programming movers.
Only four bands will be using the movers (typical headliner stuff), and each band must look a little different (I already know WHAT I want to do for each band). The thing that stuffs me is HOW to program these lights.
The lights I'm using are LED Movers (8 in total), don't ask me what brand because I don't have it on the hire sheet infront of me, but I do know they use a standard arc lamp and are pretty much equivalent to a SHARK250. The desk, as I said before, is a JANDAS Hog 250.
I have roughly 40 hours to LEARN how to use this desk and then program the show, I have all of Friday and after setup on Saturday to do my programming, NOT alot of time, but I'm hoping you guys here can give me ANY pointers, tips, or guides to read on how to easily program a half decent moving light show.
I COULD also get a dmx/usb WIDGET if you guys think that programming them via PC would be easier, I am open to ideas!
Thank you very much
