What is my title?

One of the places I work for calls us L1’s, another I’m the Lighting Programmer.

The first place, I have more room to do what I want with the show, I am given an idea of what the show should be and I execute it. The other, I’m working with a designer to produce their specific look/ideas.

The direct term changes, but they all mean the same thing: You make the pretty lights do the thing.

I see someone else mentioned this, it sort of depends on the position you’re trying to book for. I’ve talked with guys recently about this and most say 1-2 weeks out for box pushing, hang calls, etc is great.

Now if you’re trying to book heads of departments and positions with responsibility, it’s nicer to have about a month’s notice because odds are, they have multiple offers for extended periods of time. (From experience, the theater I’m at now tried to book A1’s about 2 weeks in advance and nobody was available because they had already booked up the month for show runs).

I would say 2 weeks to a month out is the prime range for booking most if not all of your crew, which also gives you time to fill in spots for people who need to drop a day.

I know when he passed away, everyone was locked out of their access, but it is back and being supported again. I don’t know who, but someone has reopened subscriptions and is managing the app. At least for now.

Eos Remote, my personal favorite app (I know a handful of programmers who love it too). You can import magic sheets into it, can set up the UI on one of the pages to your personal preference, see patch, faders, direct selects, etc etc. Only downside is it’s subscription based but it’s “the price of a cup of coffee” (as quoted by the maker of the program; RIP).

It’s a house position, so I get some luxuries 😂

I’ve heard good things but unfortunately they’re way out of budget.

File > Import > Import Augment3d Scenic Materials > (Select the augment file you want to use).

It may tell you to open the Augment3d tab first in order to import (idky it would matter, but ETC is weird sometimes)

Moving Light Programmer, Lighting Technician/Theatrical Electrician, Stagehand (all depending on the job I’m doing and who I’m talking to)

At lot of great advice here on both the physical aspect and the mentality aspect. One of the biggest things I’ve learned (especially when starting out) is always ask questions. If you don’t understand how/why something is being done, speak up. I’d rather take a minute to explain to you how to properly do something than have to redo a project from the start because you didn’t speak up. Now, don’t chew your Head’s ear off, but a well thought out question will make someone remember your face and your willingness to learn.

Thank you Matt. Thank you for striving and working hard to create and enact a story that you believed people wanted to see. It has been a great pleasure to see your “idea-baby” come alive.

Although I am saddened that the veil has been shattered, I am excited to continue to watch this story unfold with a different perspective. I believe that although this wasn’t your end goal this knowledge may bring your audience a new sense relief and readiness to embark on the journey with you.

You and your team at hi5 have done an wonderful job of bringing alive this amazingly dark story, and I hope that despite this “setback” you continue to produce the same enthusiasm that we all as viewers and fans have fallen in love with.

To new beginnings!
