All that hard work

I plan on writing a blog about how awesome it is to be the lighting guy during festival season, but not today. Instead I wish to share what I consider to be a big show killer for the lighting director.

I spent all day at Atlanta Fest focusing moving lights and par cans to make our show just right and when night falls this is what I have to deal with.

This is a picture taken with my phone to demonstrate the amount of ambient light that was on stage. There are NO stage lights on right now. The entire place was lit up like a baseball park.

I only like light when I can control it.


Thank you to the lighting and video vendors who helped us out. You guys were great to us.

OUR DAY IN UNDER FOUR MINUTES

It is sometimes hard to explain to everyone what it is we do for a living. So it is finally here, the long awaited time lapse. Enjoy!

Thanks Harry

We appreciate you helping load the truck, but Michael has some suggestions for you. Thanks.

Fun with racks

Getting ready for the Summer run was a lot of fun. A couple of days in the shop with Darren, Michael, and Harry. We have a new console in monitor world, and that gave us inspiration to shrink down and make our rig as simple as we could. After consolidating racks we realized we ran into a problem. We left something very important in the double panel rack...




DARREN!!
Guess it's time to take it apart.

Cruising the Ocean

Another fun cruise is in the books. We were on the Premier Music Boat cruise. Ported in Key West and Calica, Mexico. Andy couldn't be with us, but Mike Smith, from Leeland, filled in for him, and did a fine job. There was lots of great music, but the best part, for my kids at least, was...

Bob and Larry from Vegetales! Each day would have been incomplete without hearing Ellie say, "I wanna see Bob and Larry." At least they were on TV 24/7 so they could get their fix even if the big guys were taking a nap.

Thanks to all of those who made it possible for us to be a part of the cruise. We had a blast.

I blame Darren

I blame him for the fact that I just bought season one of Prison Break and watched the entire first disk without getting up from my couch.

INTRODUCING

My New Friend Darren! !

If he looks slightly familiar to you, its because he slightly resembles our Old Friend Darren.
