techies, even when not working

Yes, the entire crew is on a computer... but Michael's just happens to be the iPhone. We are nerds. All we need to keep us happy is internet. :)

For the next tour

Imagine two of these, double stacked, at FOH. Oh, yes!!

Always the Biggest for Darren

Darren likes to make sure that no matter what you have, his is bigger. Notice the enormous double-panelled rack. So, after the monitor for his console was left at an event...He replaced it with this. (it's a 32" or 36" widescreen display) I didn't move this for a better picture. It was placed there, because when set where it would normally be, he couldn't see the band. Nice. Mission accomplished.

BTW, this had a similar effect as the parking lot lights in a recent post. It lit the stage!

You the man, Darren!

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.
