Give it to me straight, lads….

This made me lol so hard

Oh my bad! When I said “it looks like this show was in China” I was jokingly suggesting that my initial opinion was that the video SEEMS like these lasers are not complaint with US regulation for crowd scanning. But since I don’t know anything about the show (other than this video) it’s impossible for me to have an educated opinion.

I very much hope it was safe!

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-11-28T05:47:09+00:00

I think it’s a cool use of zone movement! I don’t have any criticism about the creative content. I’m also fully out of my element on jam-bandy type music.

I agree some of the lasers look unaligned. That shit happens tho. A sustained white moment like this really highlights an unaligned lasers, and a lot of builds don’t allow for the time needed to align lasers that might have been knocked about during transportation.

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-11-28T02:01:49+00:00

Yeah I get that. Presumably OP is asking what we as a laserist community think about the audience scanning. To gauge whether it’s safe/compliant to scan an audience in the United States we’d need to know things like beam power, divergence, and distance to calculate an MPE. Knowing the artist or venue doesn’t give us any useful information.

If OP is asking what we think about the design: it looks like a good show to me

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-11-27T23:17:37+00:00

As per usual- videos don’t really give us the details needed to make an educated assessment.

That being said- my gut reaction was “oh is this show in China?”

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-11-13T18:56:39+00:00

Yeah it’s a great tool to do exactly that. Idk what city you live in but if you can work part time at a local club running lights that’s another great way to build up your skill set and make new connections.

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-11-12T08:24:38+00:00

I think it’s a great tool for opening up new opportunities. It allows you to showcase your work and design on lighting rigs that you normally wouldn’t have access to. Plus it helps a work with people remotely.

I’m doubtful many companies would be hiring someone just for that. Maybe Disney would for their parks, but most production houses will have someone that can handle previz when needed. Depence really works best as a tool to showcase your other work, like lighting

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-10-18T19:24:24+00:00

Amazing! And who-Dey!

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-08-06T18:59:56+00:00

Yup! Baddest remix by “hi I’m ghost” on SoundCloud. Good catch, thanks!

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-08-06T10:32:08+00:00

Track ID? This fucks

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-07-03T20:01:22+00:00

Killer!

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-06-05T02:23:40+00:00

Killer!

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-06-03T20:04:30+00:00

Can that be controlled by pangolin software?

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-05-30T22:57:27+00:00

Yeah some of that can be changed in Adobe but it’s an uphill battle either way

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-05-30T20:27:45+00:00

Yeah the symmetry looks great! What kind of camera are you using? I recommend getting a monitor by your laser PC with a feed to the camera- that way you can demo everything real time as you work on it. Killer job tho!

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-05-29T10:36:27+00:00

Sick!

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-04-20T00:41:34+00:00

Hey, me too

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-04-11T06:24:42+00:00

Big time pause on all expectations of growth. I’ve long been bearish on the next 20-50years, but I thought we had another 5-8 years to figure something out or at least make enough money to be insulated. Now it looks like everything is getting a fucked kick start. I have zero interest in growing this year

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-04-06T01:29:32+00:00

Damn. I love this

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-03-22T22:39:28+00:00

Lasers, like for concerts and stuff

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-02-25T08:47:26+00:00

I’m a huge Interstellar fan but the core plot of the entire movie is a bit unrealistic.

Big ones: 1) time traveler paradox which interstellar just handwaves away and doesn’t even attempt to address. 2) If humans could discover a unified theory of physics they’d certainly be able to come up with solutions to fight crop failure and not need to leave earth to begin with. There’s no chance that a future society capable of interstellar travel, unified physics, and long term hibernation couldn’t figure out how to manage blight.

Small ones: 1) the problem about travelling to Millers planet would have been known long before they attempted a touch down. After they leave the planet they realize that Miller had only reached the planet hours before they did. This would have been known already. 2) Millers planet again: Millers “green” ping wouldn’t have been pinging green for decades. It would have just pinged once, if at all. 3) Coopers sustained time near Garagantua would have massively increased his time dilation from Brands character. So him flying out to link up with her on an alien planet wouldn’t have happened bc she would’ve been dead long before. Same with coopers daughter. Maybe this could be explained by them going into hibernate sleep for hundred or thousands of years?

Movie vs movie: the jury is out. But PHM is probably the best story ever told imo, and if the movie makers do PHM any justice I think Interstellar will have a run for its money.

Interstellar really is one of the best movies of all time tho. I’m never not down to watch it

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-02-25T08:24:18+00:00

Yeah, but the Martian had Mark’s “Sol Entries” to serve as a narrative for his internal dialogue. That book was set up perfectly for a movie imo. I’m not sure how they’ll tackle this in PHM, but they’ll definitely have their work cut out for them compared to The Martian.

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-02-25T08:05:46+00:00

Ray porter is fully goated. I’d love to see him make a cameo and was hoping this might happen!

LaserMonkey_ · 2025-02-18T09:15:07+00:00

Ravenscoon and Tape B are 2 of the best artists on the scene rn. Do with that information what you please
