ETC Element Light Board Basics - Part II

[@laughlinmacdonald652]

I’m interviewing for light head for our black box play and I’m super nervous. Your videos over the light board makes me feel more confident if I get the position thank you

Thanks for watching!

I really appreciate all your videos! I picked up stage managing during the pandemic doing virtual improv and sketch shows and then made the transition to in-person productions. So I dont have any formal training on the ETC boards so this is super helpful to know how to program :)

Instead of the super-mega-fancy augment 3D view that is difficult to move around in, try just using a magic sheet bird’s eye view of the plot. It’s basically exactly the same as your paper hang card/plot, but it’s on the screen and the light symbols can be linked to intensity/color. You can even then print out out in vector format complete with labels for dimmer number, gels, scrollers, top hats, barn doors, etc. That deletes a lot of paperwork. That way you always have a super simple 2D, interactive representation.

You can also add thin little pointing lines to each light to represent where they’re pointed.
