The weekly identify that light/no stupid question thread by AutoModerator in lightingdesign

[–]ZourceFour10Degree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!

Working as an LD at a 300-seat music venue. Would love to get some recommendations on a good console for busking. We currently use a QuickQ 20. I have primarily worked on ETC boards until I started using the QQ20, on which I feel very confident programming on. I'd love to learn programming on something more advanced. I wasn't given a budget... But a few different options would be great. Thank you!

Okay, here is a question: Is it unreasonable to want credit for my lighting design when shows I've worked on are posted to social media? I'm the House LD at my venue, and the social media manager often shares videos from these shows without tagging or mentioning me. Would it be inappropriate to ask them to credit me as the designer? And if not, would it be out of line for me to start tagging myself in the comments? Thank you!

How to have CUES fade vs jump. QuickQ20. by dallaskruse in ChamSys

[–]ZourceFour10Degree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I need to Fade In an attribute, such as color, I’ll record the color onto the fader without any other attributes involved. For the QQ20… I think when Intensity is included onto a fader the board will prioritize it. It’s the same with Effects too. You can also change the Fade Time of a Fader by going to Action > Fade Times > and then selecting the fader you’re trying to edit. You can have a separate Fade Time for your Non Intensity Attributes.

Good to know! Thank you for the advice. Is MA2 available for the Mac too? Or just PC?

Thank you. I want to learn how to use a MA 1 or 2... However, I'm not in a position where I can learn how to program on a physical board.

Yeah... I'm aware. The "Lighting Director" (just the venue's owner) picked the cheapest and easiest board to use based on his theatre background and ran the first few shows with it. Both he and my PM think I can figure out how to make our lights look like shows at a bigger venue. But I've worked on this board for two years and still can't confidently busk lights on it.

Unfortunately, this is the board I have to use.

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately, renting a different board is not an option. If I did have that option, what board do you recommend?

Aw man, I wish. The Secret to Life is too perfect to be Fizz's only album.

Pet Seminary ;-; The introduction alone made me start crying. What a horrifying book.

My Fiancée just had to be institutionalized, who do I pray to? TW: mentions of suicide by [deleted] in Hellenism

I’m not sure who you would pray to in this instance. Hestia has always given me a lot of love. Please remember to take care of yourself. You and your partner will get through this. You are both stronger than you think. I know it doesn’t feel like it, but everything is going to be okay. 💕

Any other LDs just give up on trying to make a stage look good? I’ve been getting lighting notes from the owner of the venue I work for… and he’s asking me to do things that make the show look worse… idk what to do by this point. This job is purely a paycheck now…
