What do you think? If this video gets 500 likes, I’ll upload another video this week :)

[@Terminator0815Sm]

Great Video, would like to see also a little bit about the PA and special effects

[@SimillionMedia]

@@Terminator0815Sm I think that's going to be in Scott's video.

[@N3rdboyTV]

LInk to "scott's video"?

[@christianjackson]

@@N3rdboyTV It's not done yet

[@GasturBel]

I just gave you number 500 like! wait for a new video

[@Kowarrior]

The production quality of the videos keep going up and up

[@christianjackson]

Trying my best!

[@PrimitiveShowKH]

Kowarrior hello

[@RadINation]

Love the mirror on the back side for the MagicPanels.

[@PrimitiveShowKH]

Rad-I-Nation hello

[@furyzpj]

Could you share a link to Scott's page. you mentioned him when speaking about the PTZ camera.

[@k1rr2i3h4]

been trying to look for the same.

[@jassevergauwe5995]

Same over here, wanna now who he is

[@wade_jpeg]

He is Scott Philibert. On Instagram as Scott.mp3 Search his channel name and you will find it. Nothing has been posted in a few years though.

[@k1rr2i3h4]

Damn in that case we got played

[@electriclightbulb1232]

I'm guessing the feed was presented on the visualizers?

[@crynnge]

im from boston, working production in philly now. So glad that this video is in the HOB.. love that venue

[@VegasDominic]

That curved led wall is just amazing! 🎉😊 Looks like a high definition curved 2.6mm pixel pitch wall? Wonderful! 👌😊

[@strongbad2795]

Damn that’s a nice setup! So much going on for the audience.

Love the idea of the mirror backs. Such a cool effect! Awesome video

[@dkal7028]

This is awesome. I was at the CT show. Thanks for letting me watch from FOH.

[@FabFunty]

I'm glad when I can remember my phones pin number on a good day🙄, how you keep track of all that different manufacturers, types, models and versions , is truly fascinating to me 👍🏼

[@leatherwoodrc]

Best part of my union break is watching your videos. The laser programming looks amazing.

[@jhrlasers]

Pew ---🙃

[@realSethMeyers]

Wow, this video is such high quality. Great job! I thought the kinetic glowing spheres were the coolest thing- especially with the "responding" video wall! The three tiers added a cool depth element. This whole stage design just looks like a ton of fun to see every night.

[@christianjackson]

Thank you :)

[@haldotwav]

The cable dressing on your on stage rack is stressing me out... but great video, dude!

[@PrimitiveShowKH]

haldotwav hi

[@larskragness151]

Can someone explain what is going on with the lasers at 9:22 - 9:46. I've seen the curving effect before, but it still makes no sense to me how the light seems to start and stop in the air. Great video!

[@nick8892]

That is due to the frame rate of the camera he is using.

[@AaronHiebLighting]

Ayyyy I was your house guy in KCMO. It was cool to work this show and get to see it live

[@lil.nonyyy]

Absolutely love the video, well worth the wait Can’t wait for the next video! Hope it’s the bumbershoot video! Keep it up. I’m on my path to doing what you do!

[@christianjackson]

You’re in luck

[@lil.nonyyy]

Christian Jackson 😀

[@JGomes255]

Top video bro. Thanks a lot. Loved the details. keep the amazing work and shares of course ;)

[@sandanford]

Awesome job boys!!! Sweet looking rig and so many creative options! Can't wait to hear more about scotts multi-cam and the pixel mapping in resolume

[@VegasDominic]

So cool the 16 RGB kinetic moving spheres multiplied in quantity because of the led wall 😂🎉

[@someoneelseable]

Awesome!! Would LOVE to see more clips like these.

[@RebeccahKahn]

Yo, I worked in the LMG warehouse when the Luis the Child tour came through. I was in the lighting dept so Im pretty sure I was one of the ones who QCed or prepped some of those fixtures!

[@christianjackson]

Small world!!

[@NickFromNetherlands]

Great video. I think outside is also an emergency power generator. as backup

[@dylandylan11731]

I love the laser curtain idea

[@goaliehenrick]

Saw some of this rig in Wallingford - sadly the dome didn't allot for the LED's. Still an amazing production man!

[@northeastoutrider2124]

Love your overall look and the concept behind the rig. The cable management on the other hand would drive be insane. How can you not be looming all that cable and better build your rack and dimmer world to be able to plug and go as well as troubleshoot any issues. We all know that lighting is a fickle beast and you need to have clarity in your infrastructure to keep it going over a tour. None-the-less, it looks amazing from FOH.

[@christianjackson]

Well there’s a bit of a long story to that, actually :) we unfortunately had to fire our original lighting lead on this tour and his replacement (Ryan in the background of this video) was midway through re-looming the rig when we had to shoot this rig video. He kind of got dumped on the gig and didn’t have the luxury of time to fix everything until this day.

[@northeastoutrider2124]

Christian Jackson that makes sense. You clearly have your act together. I can imagine you demand your entire system be as refined as your design and programming. Cheers...

[@christianjackson]

Totally get your point though! This was really the only stop on the tour I could comfortably make this video and we just kind of had to roll with it. Not claiming I have the cleanest setup on earth (definitely not!) but figured it was worth explaining since you brought it up. Thanks for watching.

[@Jim_Kay.]

Thanks for the vids, Christian. I'm getting back into lighting after a 10 year hiatus, so, they're making for great for refreshers while reintroducing me to a few terms and approaches that had completely slipped my mind. Quick question. Do you have any pointers, or suggested areas of focus that would help me with my preparation to get back into the industry? Cheers. All the best, J.

[@oshtheld]

Do this video was freaking amazing! So awesome to see such a beautiful stage be made by such talented people!

[@mtaggs477]

I will wacth every video you make. Guaranteed

[@superkaboose1066]

So the Kinetics were controlled through MA2? can you do a video on how Kinetics are done and designed? So few places do them.

[@icejamevents]

Great video Christian! These are always so entertaining to watch

[@danquay9504]

I personally thought it was amazing & privilege to watch & what the lasers called used in the show, thanks for sharing, amazing rig

[@creproduction]

Great video as always! Question, How do you stand the towers up? am guess that they are preloaded? Hoist or Man power?

[@christianjackson]

4 stagehands and one Laser Papi Parker shore

[@creproduction]

@@christianjackson awesome!

[@BrianRondeau107]

Awesome setup! I was originally gonna come out to see you at HOB Boston, but I wussed out because I didn't feel like walking around the city in the freezing cold haha. Bad choice, but now I learned my lesson!

[@christianjackson]

Next time!

[@ephjaymusic]

What a comprehensive and wonderfully presented video! Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️

[@christianjackson]

Thank you :)

[@leonardograndoni4081]

Ok, We want to see you mixing mono with the right ear 🤗

[@dannybaloi]

Wooow so nice. Great video man, keep on going. I'm very curious how all the universes are set up, and how you operate some of the fixtures with resolume.

[@epict5000]

Love your vids dude, its givern m so many ides for my shows coming up!!

[@DKendallProductions]

That mirror is dope.

[@sebdevusio]

Thanks for this video man, I love it. Please upload more!

[@Liamd330]

Them lasers are awesome!

[@GaryFord-Audio]

Thats what I'm talking about! nice work!

[@technotion_]

Did Scotts video ever go up? Would love to see that.

[@timkeklinker]

We've had some problems with the Robe spiiders. If I set the dimmer to 100%, RGBW all to 100% aswell and the open the shutter nothing will happen. They've been set to the same mode as patched in the MA but the only way to turn them on is by using some panel effects which don't utilize the whole led panel. If you could help that'd be great cause this fixture is otherwise pretty damn cool and I'd love to use it again

[@christianjackson]

Sounds like a fixture profile problem. The default profiles suck. There are some better ones on MA fixture Share

[@timkeklinker]

@@christianjackson the thing is that this problem occured on all 16 of the ones that we rented. I've tried literally every mode of the provided ones by the MA and none of them worked. I'll try and find a working one on ma fixture share thanks for the tip. And if it still doesn't work I might be just dumb lol. We have a huge upcoming event in our school and were thinking about renting two JB lighting P18. We want to use the framing system + the CTO filter to light up the stage from 15m back. Do you think that'll be worth it our should we just go with four ETC source 4?

[@deanwarham6641]

@@timkeklinker if you dont need to move them, use s4s but you get more flexibility with moving lights.

[@timkeklinker]

@@deanwarham6641 i know but thought about that and I have the connections to "rent" four Arri L7-C for free which is plenty for that stage and the P18 would just be a complete overkill for that room with the 1000W LED. That MH is simply amazing but way to expensive to rent and way to overpowered. We'll go with 8x JB lighting P7, 4x SGM Q-7W as blinders and strobes, 8x Astera Titan tubes for stage backlight, 8x SGM P-5 for indirect ceiling lighting and 16x Astera Ax5 for wall spots. There's an after show Party aswell for which we'll use 6x Claypaky sharpy and 8x robe LEDbeam 150 with 4x Q-7W aswell. What do you think of that setup?

[@hydrusje]

​@@timkeklinker I've used the P18 (and P7 as well, have yet to use the P12) before and I love the fixture. But for this use.... just keep it simple, for the price of two P18 you can rent a lot of other cool stuf. Only rent them if you really need it's features.

[@bm3237]

great video ! show looks killer !

[@DragonHeir8585]

Cool! Thank you for the video and the detailed lighting rig specs and fixtures. Very educational and informative! Question: Do you find Capture a better visualizer than MA3D? (Just curious why you're using that instead of MA's own visualizer)

[@silentrice7399]

That’s pretty dope, Louis the Child!

[@dominicingegneri]

dude this looks AMAZING!!! I have seen you live before your stuff is great

[@sebastiaanvanderlans]

Hi Christian, is there a tutorial available on how to do per-pixel programming for the Robe Spiiders? Not per se the video layer, but more on how to make figures on their pixels? Keep up your amazing work; your videos rock!!

[@dylandylan11731]

What’s the m32 doing in lx world at FOH? Your mixing support ? Or timecode distribution ?

[@bowenmoss5613]

Oh wow you took the advice I commented on the last video 😂 killer rig, wish I could have caught you guys on the road.

[@Armstrongtx]

I see the GT 10' vertical trusses fold backward onto the dollies for load in/load out, leaving the fixtures somewhat exposed on top. Did you do anything to protect them while on the road or just leave them exposed? Love your channel by the way!

[@m3dr052]

FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@matiasmuccillo8810]

Awesome job bro! Can you explain how you send the lumiverse of resolume to the magicpanels? Are you merging in the artnet node in stage or just input back to the console? Thanks!

[@jamesrbrindle]

Loving this rig. Some of it is way beyond me still with timecode. I've managed to link resolume to MA2 so far at least.

[@joshlighting4622]

In any case the design and beautiful bravo

[@diokollias4561]

How did you transport the LED screen throughout the tour?? Where did everything fit?

[@martinlogdstrom9352]

Very interesting! Thanks Christian😀

[@gpmcd1044]

I’d love to have this job. How do you get trained for something like this?

[@lucaferrocino3968]

Hi Christian, these videos you make are beautiful. A question. Could you explain how you managed to separate the Ayrton lights and movements management? I have seen that Pixels control them from Resolume.

[@RybreadGaming]

I worked this show in Milwaukee, I can’t believe I didn’t recognize you

[@finbar9431]

The moving spheres tho... Are they lights or just spheres with a string tied to them? That looks dope.

[@finnrowden3341]

Absolutely love this! Amazing amazing amazing

[@leonardograndoni4081]

The m 32 on your left ?! Aaah, You do audio too!

[@oliverguy3121]

Probably for comms and tech feeds. there's an sd12 to the right of the MA you can see briefly. edit, nm its for the opening act

[@VoodooValveTV]

Superb and interesting video! Especially as it's not my field. I normally do sound. I'm curious if you could tell me what the role of the Midas M32 sound desk is for? for Comms or is running the show?

[@christianjackson]

It’s for the opening act

[@davemroz8503]

Way cool!! Thanks for the great video!

[@willhayden4311]

What does it mean to be "fed timecode" ? I'm assuming it has to do with matching visuals to song selection, but still trying to make sense of this concept...

[@jooglem]

You talk about Scott for the PTZ cameras, but no link to his video? :P

[@christianjackson]

It’s not up yet

[@aaronlynes6075]

@@christianjackson any update? could you link to his channel pls as i cant find it. thanks :)

[@paulillgen9046]

do you do the effect at 10:37 with your effect generator or do you have that on a fader?

He said the show is fully timecoded, so likely not

[@RabidWoWTv]

Reckon you could do a guide on GrandMA Light? I'm a bit stuck with creating low end fixtures on it, and it seems impossible to get it right even with the Fixture finders online... @Christian Jackson

Very cool, thanks!

[@carlitos2993]

When I have to patch lights on ma2 onpc it can be a painstaking task, having to click 'patch and fixture schedule', new layer, 'from library', click the manufacture/fixture fields, click the paper thin row of the fixture, click import, click apply, close the window, click yes.... it'd be nice to save a little bit of time on this. if there's a way to patch without using the mouse at all I'd be happy. could it be done?? I live by "if you do the same thing 3 times, make a macro." any help is appreciated.

[@jasonnorman1]

I'm curious about the production budget. What did it break down to per week and how many weeks was the tour?

[@christianjackson]

I’m not able to share budget related things on specifics but the tour was six weeks of shows and a week of rehearsals.

[@baskin321]

How do you like the darts 360? I have 12 but I think they suck at slow movements

[@christianjackson]

They did exactly what we needed. There are very few fixtures that fit our requirements (compact beam style, color mixing, prism, and gobos). Plus they are cheap and we could put a lot of them on the rig. I was scared they wouldn’t be bright enough but they just barely were lol. They do get lost in some sections but they hold their own

[@Audastrian]

Great video. Loved it!

[@christianjackson]

Thank you :)

[@hacksolot2]

quick question, what were the 2 racks left and right to the one shown?

[@josh512x]

If you’re talking about the racks at 5:55, the racks left and right are power distribution for lighting. Those are soco cables that go to the various lights to supply them with power

[@hacksolot2]

How the heck do you achieve that effect at 9:35?? So cool!

[@technotion_]

I was amazed at this as well. Asked r/techtheater and it turns out its not possible to the human eye, but due to the framerate of the camera, it appears to be curved.
