Rehearsals + Weekend 1 - Coachella '22 w/ Louis The Child - Part 2
As the first weekend of our Coachella 2022 show run for Louis The Child neared closer, the team spent a week in Las Vegas dialing in all of the technical aspects of the show to make sure everything is in order.
Sadly, I am not out in the desert this year, but thank you to all the hard working people making their artists shine.
Thanks so much for your patience as I continue to work through the backlog of videos that were shot, but never made it to UA-cam (for various reasons) over the last two years. More to come, and soon!

Most-Wanted Features For The Next GrandMA3 Release (2.0 SOON????)
Переглядів 18 тис.3 місяці тому
Who else is excited to see what the next version of MA3 has to offer? I definitely am, and there are a few things in particular that I really wish would make their way into the next release. In this video, I'll talk about some of those features or changes to the workflow / programming philosophy that I wish would become reality. I've been using MA3 nearly every day for the last 18 months, and e...
Designing & Programming Our Coachella '22 Show for Louis The Child - Part 1
Переглядів 130 тис.3 місяці тому
I'm extraordinarily happy to be back on UA-cam. And what better way to return than with a classic vlog from one of my favorite shows of the last two years? Today, we are diving into part one of my Coachella video series where I will be going through the process of evaluating our parameters and designing a ground package for the new Louis The Child show that debuted at the festival in 2022.

Why I Decided to Buy an MA3 - LETS GO!!
Переглядів 80 тис.3 роки тому
This was not an easy decision to make, but it feels like the time is right to shift most of my *new* programming efforts onto MA3. Don't worry, MA2 is not going away anytime soon, and the vast majority of my shows going forward will still likely be programmed in MA2, but the time is now for me personally to start the transition. In this video I'll talk a bit about why I decided to make an admit...

Переглядів 30 тис.3 роки тому
Thus far in my career in the lighting industry, I've mainly been focused on my primary passion, lighting for dance music at festivals and shows where "flash and trash" is the name of the game. However, this last year has shown me just how important quality of light is when it comes to more nuanced shows where cameras are the immediate observer for the show. There are so many things to consider ...

We have an entirely new show that we're all eager to show off as one of the first tours back in action in t...
Connect Capture to Any GrandMA2 System - Full Explanation

Watch my mid 2000s-style version of this video ua-cam.com/video/vaYIFJvrbD0/v-deo.html This is my favorite way to connect Capture to GrandMA2. I like this method because it works for all system configurations. This works if you're using a console, an onPC session, on a macbook, etc. You don't need to use Artnet, CITP, or sACN to control Capture, just link it to the MA session that you’re probab...

    Wow, this reminds me of gigging in Jamaica for Reggae Sumfest and other festivals in the Caribbean back in the early 90's. (Genny guy not paid, funky gear, etc.) As for the carni-rific strap on the cross-bar, I feel ya. When I lived in Guangzhou, I was invited by another lighting company to come see one of their shows. I had to hold my mouth closed at what I saw ... It was a rather sizable stage *_and_* sound/light/video rig built *_completely_* out of bamboo! I hope you got to ride the MagLev train to and from the airport!

  • @ThatRascalMerlin

    On that color wheel spinning non-stop, I'm guessing it was the position sensor on the wheel itself. I'm not sure if Elation uses a notch/light, or magnet-type sensor. Anyway, If it can't find home, it will keep spinning while looking for it. This is why homing it didn't work. Your show looked great, and I loved your busking page. All really nice!

    6 years late, but the CRV is probably for use in control rooms without much space, so you can use external monitors mounted on arms instead of ones right up in your face so you don't have to stand up as much to see the stage or whatever, probably more of a theatre thing.
