And the year(s) before that they used 8? ETC Congos. I don't think it is broadcast in the US.But they do enter the Eurovision song contest. Anyone remember Dana International?
Hey do you guys get to see the Eurovision Song Contest. A magnificent display of totally kitsch europop. I haven't missed one for years. Last year the show was run on 8 linked GrandMA boards.
Is that number of consoles overkill? I hear these things from you guys, and I can't help but wonder if it was necessary, and was really all that helpful for the price-point, are people just doing these things because they have the resources?
"GOD ****IT THIS SHOW NEEDS 65 UNIVERSES! I DON'T CARE IF THE LIMIT is 64! LET'S JUST LINK TOGETHER EVERY GRANDMA ON THE EASTERN SEABOARD!"
(Yes I caught the "GRANDMA", I thought I'd leave it in for Derek to make fun of me... )
Pardon me, my use of sarcasm is horrible.How mean. I just applied on a whim I never expected them to call me so fast. They caught me completely off guard.
Yes and no. Take an event such as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2002 Sydney Olympics, in deference to our Austrian friends. The programming process is well-documented via a daily journal in the appendix of Brad Schiller's Book, The Automated Lighting Programmer's Handbook. And I heard the stories first hand from one of the programmers. A WholeHogII, arguably the best available console at the time, could only do 4-7 universes. Due to the sheer numbers of lights, 8 consoles were needed just to get the proper amount of DMX channels/universes. Another 8 as backups. And one Strand 550i plus backup for the conventionals. The 550 opeerator had the hardest time of all.Is that number of consoles overkill? I hear these things from you guys, and I can't help but wonder if it was necessary, and was really all that helpful for the price-point, are people just doing these things because they have the resources?
To take a more recent example, Young Frankenstein on Broadway, which you may get to see if you behave and are willing to sell your first-born son, uses three lighting desks.
