I have a fun little opportunity total on this winter season.
The company I now work for, who never really had a lighting department and hired me to build one, does not have a lighting work box for large corporate shows.
So I will be building one! The best part is the budget is basically limitless if I can reasonably justify the purchase.
A little about the type of shows we do, for now most of our shows consist of 4-8 Vipers, 6-18 Auras, Color force 2 12"s and 72", and depending on our shows S4 lusters or normal S4's and S4 parnells.
I have already put together a decent list of what should go into the box along with the obvious stash of gaff, e, and other various tapes.
Hardware wise I have
- Full set of screwdrivers, Allans, security and regular torxs bits, a few Robinsons bits.
- Full set of truss tools, a few 3' sparsest and gack flex,
- 2 knuckles of shackles
- Soldering Iron and helping hands
- 12 terminators
- 3 to 5 pin adaptors
- some short network cables
- a Swisson mxt350
- a fleenor 1x5 opto
- extra c and mega clamps
- a few rigid and swivel burros
- ultimate flat wrench
- spare leashes for tools
- several c wrenches
- truss bolts
- a spud wrench
- spare l21-30 ends
- spare power con ends
- 20' 12/3 cable
- 1 hog usb super widget
- a little light
- insulated coffee cup
- 1 full roll of tie line
- 10 safeties
- various color and defusion
- S4 irises and gobo holders both A and B
now on to my question...
What has saved your bacon in the past that is now a staple in your work box for corporate gigs? Our fixtures ship with spare lamps in their road cases so I don't think I need a stash in the work box.
