19:47 Bro that drop was sick, loved the lighting approach

[@djjoeyd5416]

Awesome!

[@N1ckT1107]

That's a clean ass rig. Great vid.

[@kathrynw3]

Nice job, really well done.

[@djmikeeventos]

Amazing lighting. Love the midi triggers.

[@Tech360Dallas]

kick ass light show!!..

[@SLMEntertainment]

Excellent lighting rig, looking forward to more videos! We want more DJs making gig logs for events with this kind of production!

[@cutlernj]

From a fellow SLM fan, I too was very impressed at this rig. Thanks for taking the time to share it, always nice to see the variety of uses of lighting fixtures and looks!

[@DJILLEE]

THANK YOU! You guys are the whole reason we got into doing the larger productions. Always inspired by what you guys do!

[@lollol-hk6fv]

Massive respect for the vinyl. Great setup... very professional.👏🔥🔥🔥

[@DJILLEE]

Thank you so much!! So hard to get the vinyl to track well with the subs lol.

[@djcheko9477]

all those ligths make thage look cool

[@Auxetic-]

HOMECOMING?! But... but... it’s an EDM Festival 😭🔥 this is insane!

[@DJILLEE]

I wish we had dances like this when I was in high school!

[@DJRickWeb]

Yo this is epic!! killer setup. Also great DJing. Seeing a lot of companies trying to do the production style school dances and falling short when it comes to DJing and interacting with the crowd! This was killer though

[@DJILLEE]

Thanks bro! You and barr inspired me to make gig logs once again. Appreciate your view and comment!

[@DJ.EddyBru]

Holy crap! I just recognized the logo! You guys dropped me a card last year when I was doing a wedding and you guys were photo booth! Love the mixing on the videos guys! If you need a roadie let me know.

[@DJILLEE]

Oh wow! Where are you from?

[@DJ.EddyBru]

@@DJILLEE I’m out in Yale

[@zacharyschwanke1809]

I had no IDEA you could use controllers to control your lights. Blowing my mind. Epic light show!!!

[@fleetdjk1992]

Best gig log. And good DJ skills

[@BrodieRd]

21:51 JEEZ

[@robf4013]

Wow this is next Level. High-school dances have gone up a notch or 20. What's the budget for a setup like this?

[@DJDynablend]

That lighting show looks amazing

[@DJILLEE]

DJ Dynablend thank you!

[@snipeser]

Sick dude! The Dj is awesome and the lightning is even better

[@DJILLEE]

Thank you so much!

[@erubs2010]

Lighting setup dream come true!! Can only imagine the sound setup!! Great inspiration!

[@Rhys_Official]

Late to the party, but being a music festival lighting technician, I will say that this lighting setup is really nice for the size of the area you had to work with. With the ML's on the side, that's a really nice touch, also gives your setup lighting from different angles instead of just the front where the stage is. Some things you could add is some generic lighting, just a white type of colour on the DJ, since you cant really see him very much. Other than that, its a nice setup. Well done

[@DJILLEE]

Thank you so much! I definitely agree with your critiques.

[@ralphthedj3344]

Great job guys! The DJ was set to kill!!!! Great transitions!!!

[@DJILLEE]

Thank you I really appreciate that!

[@user8002]

OUTSTANDING SETUP!!! Man that's a whole lotta shit to load in and out but DAMN it looks GOOD. Love the lighting. Maybe the best I've seen at a school dance. Your lighting cues are on point. Initially I thought the video was a little too long but then I got into watching what songs worked for that crowd. Great mixing and crowd interaction as well. Bottles Up!!!

[@DJILLEE]

I tried to cut the length down but after watching a lot of other gig logs I realized what I like to see in them. I figured if it’s too long people will skip through it :). Thanks for the incredibly kind words!

[@donaldnelson976]

SPECTACULAR...BIG UP. YALL REALLY DID THE DAM THING!

[@Gkh_lx]

This is a great set up! Lighting looked really cool! Please upload more like this!

[@DJILLEE]

Thank you! More on the way...

[@matthewgossman7338]

Great job all around! Awesome djing and incredible light show!

[@justwatchingyoutube3285]

Loved this!!!!!!!!! You guys did amazing in both Music and Lighting.. Great Job.. Very looking forward to your future stuff!!! Thanks for making this video!!

[@rileyparsons2951]

How much do you charge for a night gig because this looks absolutely dopeee!!!

[@DJILLEE]

Thank you! I may have to cover this on another video since I've been asked so often.

[@rileyparsons2951]

Okay thanks!!!!

[@BartKrap]

Hey man, great gig. I'd love to see your controller setup. Also those light towers on the side are a really cool idea. Keep up the good work.

[@DJILLEE]

Bart Kreeft thank you! I’ll make sure to do an in depth layout of the controls at the next event. I’ve been getting quite a few questions about it.

[@DJILLEE]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX-4nHuCjNqsqZo Here's how we control the rig!

[@thomasgriffin3474]

Nice work!

[@creativeprojectsentertainm2270]

You guys did an awesome job. Im really interested in learning more on how you guys program your lights.

[@DJILLEE]

At our next gig I’ll be sure to film a thorough walk through of the programming. It’s always evolving as we try to improve :)

[@cutlernj]

@@DJILLEE +1 to more video on how you program and the workflow you use. I have an M-PC Touch sitting ready to learn, but for some reason my brain is having issues learning M-PC after having years of being stuck with ShowXpress.

[@DJSolstice]

Dope setup, but point the CO2 cannons up for more effect. Nobody likes getting hit in the face

[@DJILLEE]

DJ Solstice funny you say that...we just started doing that. They look A LOT better that way.

[@DJSolstice]

@@DJILLEE Thank you! Everyone seems to disagree with me but I'm like, do you ever see them pointed at the crowd at a music festival? NOPE

[@DJILLEE]

DJ Solstice true but in night clubs you do which is why we oriented them that way originally. Always learning with this stuff...

[@iamaafk3583]

What's the song at 11:33? And u killed the set with both set up and delivery and nice use of scroll on colour wheel too not seen anyone use it like that for a track

[@bmwthedj]

this was a dope gig log.... you can clearly DJ & the production was on point...

[@theaztecwarrior1190]

You just earned a subscriber because of this setup

[@DJILLEE]

Thank you!

[@Done_4]

Mad vibes bro killed this shit got the chills every drop much love keep that shit going bro

[@DJILLEE]

jonathan galvez thank you!

[@jakemartin3916]

PLEASE give us a full walkthrough of your lighting setup and your lighting controller setup!! I dont care if its an hour long, I'll watch it all! XD Awesome video! Just earned another sub!

[@DJILLEE]

Thanks for the sub! I’ll be sure to film it. I want to make sure that it’s thorough and done well. More videos coming!

[@DJILLEE]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX-4nHuCjNqsqZo Ask and you shall receive! Let me know if you have any further questions I'm sure I missed a lot of stuff :)

[@djaubreyclark7307]

What’s the ballpark price of what you charge for this? Trying to get into bigger production events

[@marcuswing8059]

What blinders are those?

[@tkointernational]

I was initially wondering why this popped up on my feed. I was looking at Barr and Rick lighting and this popped up, and man I’m glad I watched it. The lighting is obviously killer with the programming. But, the DJ was killing it with the transitions and song selection. Really digging the lighting effect with the music. I have midi fighter as well that I haven’t used yet, so maybe this will be a good way to incorporate this into my setup as I begin to start my lighting rig. Would love to see how you did it. Keep up the killer job and keep rocking 🤟🏽👍🏽💯 Oh, and you have a new subscriber as well.

[@TheDjelements]

that stage looks like a back breaker

[@DJILLEE]

It definitely is! We have a love/hate relationship with it.

[@5thElementDFW]

I wanted to see what the qsc looked like on those side mounts. Never seen that before. Also how did you run sound to them? Just curious

[@DJILLEE]

5th Element Entertainment I may have a video of it I’ll take a look. It was nice to have the qscs up there since they allow you to angle down. We ran a separate xlrs from the mid output of the driverack that allowed us to set the eq and limit different than the mains. It also allowed us to time align them to the mains.

[@5thElementDFW]

Lee Hoffman that's very awesome.

[@hanneswuyts]

Wich movingheads do you use?

[@DJILLEE]

Inno Spot Pros

[@scobia8321]

Great light setup, good programming and track-matching live triggering. I wonder why no one use something like SoundSwitch or rekordbox lighting (with DMX-IN). And are there only two 12inch Tops? 🙄

[@DJILLEE]

Thank you! There are 6 12” tops. Two on the truss and 4 mounted to the railing around the whole gym.

[@joshspehar]

Great Video guys! Love the use of beams from the moving heads. Also love the idea of the side truss towers, different from other types of videos like this! All round fantastic event and video, Song list maybe?

[@DJILLEE]

Thanks! I'll try to export the list and add it to the video description.

[@simsbell6961]

Great Job yall! Yall pulled off the lighting design very well! Im interested to see if you all are using M-PC and a midi software to busk in your cues?! Also ive never seen drape hung from truss before, what product is that? Anyways, stellar job DJing, and props to a school dance company that can actually program lights, not some looped cues or sound active! Give us more gig logs!

[@DJILLEE]

Thank you! A lot of interest in how we have things programmed so I’ll make sure to do a thorough walk through of it. I’m not sure the brand of the drape. I know it was not cheap but it’s much better than pipe and drape. More videos coming!

[@micahfleming9890]

Do you have any idea how much this costed to put on. My school is looking for something like this, we’re in Michigan

[@Heywoodj1969]

You keep saying “inno” for your profile movers... can you specify their make and model... I’m going to assume they are ADJ inno profiles - but can you confirm.

[@DJILLEE]

ADJ Inno Spot Pros are the fixtures.

[@DJFiezta]

Song on 13:48???

[@dantonliam]

I gotta ask...this is kind of a cart before the horse question ....how much do you guys pull for a gig like this....I would love to get my setup to this level one day but the investment of gear would be massive and the schools won’t pay....

[@DJILLEE]

We were worried about that as well. The way we got around that barrier was breaking it down by ticket price. So for a school like this there was a steady 800 in attendance. When we explained that they could up the ticket price by $5 it was more digestible. The key was for use to get in front of the students in charge instead of just a teacher or someone in charge. They make it happen in most cases. When you look at how much they spend on dresses, makeup, limos and dinner...$5 is nothing. They took the chance and the first dance we did with this setup they had nearly 1200 there. They saw record profits despite spending more on us.

[@djhurtutorials]

I wish i can configure my lights same like yours. what light control software you're using? this is awesome gig and the crowd!

[@DJILLEE]

It’s Martin m-pc with mpctools. Enttec pro box.

[@djz3r063]

Just a question, do you have a track list or a list of some of the mixes/bootlegs etc? The set was fire! One of the, hands down, set ups I've seen for a school dance!

[@maddddist]

Got an Apc40 mk1 and for the life of me when it’s powered up it goes into a snake pattern light chase. I’ve reached out to everyone for help and no answer. Hope you can help me. I’m a light programmer myself. Thanks.

[@djscorpino1450]

How did you quote you client like that ? They probably on budget or something how do u talk them through

[@DJILLEE]

I actually talk about this in a reply lower. The real bottom line is that you need to make sure you already have a really good relationship with schools you want to sell it to. You also are going to need proof of concept for them so a few free/deeply discounted upgrades for a few school dances as well as a really talented videographer to capture what you're capable of are real necessities. Once you've done these things then the real key to locking in the dances is to get in front of the students, not teachers, that are in charge of putting on the dance. The students are the real driving force to getting it approved and figuring out how they can afford it. Bottom line in most cases, ticket prices have to go up. How much depends on your price and attendance at the dance. We've found that more people come to the dances even with higher ticket prices so they tend to show record numbers for profits. When that happens it makes it REAL easy to lock in more schools in your area.

[@djscorpino1450]

Lee Hoffman how to have a good relationship with schools though ? I

[@aarone4367]

tf if my school ever put smth like this up for us everyone would turn up.. people at that school seem lowkey ungrateful for it

[@DJILLEE]

This is definitely one of the tougher schools to get any type of energy out of.

[@gyereneladores1041]

watching from philippines.. hahahha hanep ang setup .. kailan kaya ako magkakaron nito..?? hayst..

[@xontinuity]

What’s the lighting program?

[@DJILLEE]

Martin M-PC.

[@JonDRojas]

Hey, how did you mount the Innos to the top of the totems?

[@DJILLEE]

JonDRojas we used a half couple on an omega bracket.

[@JoshWaller]

The rig looks great but when the C02 blasters are over used they lose the effect. That’s from experience it’s better to only do it on a few songs with intervals, then it makes it better. : )

[@davidhand4533]

Dose anyone know the name of the song being played at 11:15

[@DJILLEE]

TJR - We Wanna Party

[@mghattendorf]

This is an amazing production for a high school event. It would be cool if you did post a song list as you go from song to song quickly in the video it is hard to hear some of the lyrics to try to identify what the song is. It is amazing to me to see the same songs getting the same reaction from schools all over the country. The last homecoming I did I swear if I just put footloose and Mo bamba on repeat they would have loved it, sigh....

[@Triceijt]
