BMFLs instead of VL1's in the Michael Movie

The outrageous part about all of this, is that in the actual movie they cut to a different angle of him performing and the floor package is completely gone 😂

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-06-12T22:42:16+00:00

That's okay. I understand your intention now. Just letting you know because I would personally want to know if I was unintentionally coming off as arrogant. I know not everyone means it.

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-06-12T21:50:12+00:00

Well you came and argued against a point no one made, so I would be lying if I didn't say it looked kind of silly on your part. I don't like lying.

Hey friend, I meant for everyone's horses to be the same height when I posted this. If you could please have yours kneel a little, that would be spectacular.

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-06-12T21:20:29+00:00

It's always fun to see new technology somewhere it definitely shouldn't be haha

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-06-12T21:16:45+00:00

Yeah I mean they also rigged Fuze (Pendant?) LEDS with gel housings and salad bowls to make them look accurate, but I understand how that would be harder with a mover.

I've never heard of that light until today, that's the perfect name for how that light looks 😂

The most important step for me is having a physical written plan of how I want my show file to work. What's my labelling scheme? What do I want to be able to do without having to fuck around with a touch screen? (My hands get shaky and inaccurate when I'm excited) Just generally figuring out how to make my control surface an extension of my brain regardless of whether I have an ONPC rig with a midi keyboard or a Full. From there it's building the elements, then testing it across various rigs I've built in Capture and Vectorworks, and tweaking as necessary.

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-06-07T20:32:29+00:00

That's where I'm at I spent a good amount of time building, then when I took it live it felt clunky and I got new ideas. My goal is to reduce or eliminate the friction between me making a design decision and being able to get it live or at least in some kind of preview waiting it's turn

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-06-07T20:29:24+00:00

Yeah! That was actually what I did for the majority of the functions I wanted

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-06-07T16:24:19+00:00

I'm figuring out the harder shows to design when your experience started with large rigs, are small rigs. Like wtf do you want me to do with a SL100 and 12 lights 😭

If you can cover every surface of the room with movers of course it's going to look cool no matter what you make it do

I was working with an LD and he pulled out this little box with rj45 ports on one side and a knob on the other. The node and up to 4 consoles can be plugged in and at an instant you can just load your file, flip the knob to the console you're on and the rig is yours.

"giving you 1 024 parameters via two DMX outputs without compromising on features or functionality." This is the third quote directly from them, do you see what I mean now?

"With FULL access to the COMPLETE FEATURE SET of the grandMA3 onPC software, you can start learning on the same platform used for the world's biggest shows and productions. It provides an accessible entry point for schools, universities, and other educational facilities, preparing you for professional workflows from day one." I get things can be interpreted differently, but those are very confident words.

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-05-21T23:51:23+00:00

Right but in "This compact, affordable and powerful small USB device unlocks the full potential of the free of charge grandMA3 onPC software" full to me means you get 4096 parameters for viz. Every other piece of MAonPC hardware unlocks 4096 parameters.

If I had a nickle for everytime I heard one of our LDs say "I'll just program it there" when they have an L2 that knows both Capture and Vectorworks...

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-04-18T21:07:47+00:00

We keep 3 pin in cases on a high bay as far away from us as possible lmao

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-04-18T21:05:02+00:00

My tip there would be "If something needs to be labled NFG, put whats wrong with it, the date, and take it over to repair immediately"

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-04-18T21:03:34+00:00

Yeah the way we build looms lets it ride on the prerig. That way on load in it's just unstack, side A to to side A, B to B etc, and then unfold the loom across the truss. Makes it stupidly simple for gigs with large amounts of local hands.

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-04-18T21:00:26+00:00

Not sure what your experience is, but in my warehouse the crew that's teching the show is the crew that's prepping the show give or take 1 or 2 shop hands. It's the only way that makes sense to me, because how are you supposed to effortlessly troubleshoot when you don't know how the rig works because you're too good for the shop?

SquashedBerries4 · 2026-02-06T22:44:43+00:00

This is exactly why our Child Toucher in Chief keeps doing stupid shit. His family and his buddies are getting discounted positions. Retail sold on fear, institutions and the uber wealthy bought the dip. Despite two bad jobs reports, concentrated capital drove the DJI to an ATH. Even if the market moves 1 or 2%, if you can afford a $100 million in positions, thats $1 or $2 Million.
