Light Show - Tank - The Seatbelts

[@fanficrocks]

dude, what a kick-ass light and sound show. i wish i could of seen it live.

[@trav1971]

Nice most people probaly never had heard "Tank" or the Seatbelts much less a wicked light show to it cool

[@gafftaper]

Nice Work Bud... You did a great job squeezing every last drop out of those movers and I cues. See you back in the booth. -Gaff

[@idotswithcamera]

this is soo cool i watch it like 50 times

[@louiseearle1986]

Really loved this lots of work went in well done! :-) x

[@orbitair]

I LOVE IT!! really cool! i woulve timed the ending a little later...just like half a second later but the rest is jus amazing!!!! GOOD JOB!

[@soundlight]

Thanks all! Description has been updated with some semblance of a rig inventory. The whole rig structure was built out of Schedule 40 steel pipe and couplers of various sorts. The 2 hanging "pods" up right and left were hung from a lineset with aircraft cable and a second run of aircraft cable through the pipe for safety.

[@PolishGuy89]

AWESOME!! seriously I did not notice that the scrollers stopped working, and I'm sure no one else did either. And if they did, I'm sure they thought i was part of the show.

[@SyntheticFuture]

Very nice show!

[@soundlight]

Thanks! My second one will be going up next week sometime, once I edit it down and overlay the original audio track so that the audio sounds nice (like this one).

[@TeshiMeshi]

awesome work!!

[@john4672]

VERY cool.....keep up the good work!

[@tnemgif]

agreed, a nice way of mixing the modern lights with the more 'traditional' fixed lights. *****5 Stars*****

[@zombieflipkick]

holy cow! this was awesome!

[@Domovoi07]

oooh, lovely! 5/5 dude, loved it

[@supermanafan]

AWSOME JOB

[@homewardbound23]

Cowboy Bebop is my favorite anime. Thanks for posting this.

[@soundlight]

@shuffle953 Yes, everything in the rig is running on DMX. The dimmer rack is on the first universe of DMX and all of the automated stuff (scanners, scrollers, etc) is on the second universe of DMX.

[@noir4hire]

Nice, Yep you can spot those I-beams a mile a way... I call them lawnmowers, for the racket they make when you re-strike them.. I love the "Tank-song" I just know it from Cowboy-Bebop!!! coll setup!

[@soundlight]

Currently still in college. Building up enough knowledge to dive in to the real professional world of lighting after senior year, which I'll be entering this fall.

[@rebenjam]

Yeah, I agree. LEDs have a ways to go before they can compete. However, I did see the concept LED fixture by Varilite at LDI and it's pretty impressive. But it's going to cost a whole lot more than $500. Anyways, really nice work. Keep it up!

[@nrdsunardi]

I like it, good job

[@soundlight]

If I had moving heads I'd totally use them! The only moving lights that we own are the Intellabeams. In the "Planetarium" show, there are 4x VL3000 that we rent for the dance concerts. 2 downstage and 2 upstage. I can't remember if they were 26s or 19s honestly, I didn't do a gear list for this show at the time. Just after the fact looking back at a pic of the rig. Dimming came from the installed dimmer racks, and power for the movers came from our side-stage three phase panel.

[@wezza69]

good effort my friend!

[@MrBatuLesung]

just nice!!!

[@eternalfire1244]

for the console he was using I am not really surprised that it took so long for setup and programming. There are a few really good consoles out there that are amazing for working with intelligents. The grandMA and Whole hog 2 immediately come to mind. a lot of time can be cut with a good console and someone who knows how to work it..

[@DannyLuftmanCircus]

Very nice

[@DerrtyM]

perfect! ***** 5 stars

[@soundalperso]

es genial el manejo de luces en cambio de boom a escepcion de unas parte :)

[@Bartzjie]

GREAT!!!!

[@soundlight]

No moving head fixtures were used, just moving mirror fixtures. There's an equipment list in the description if you're interested.

[@tomrbland]

Fantastic shame about the two strollers but nobody that doesn't have an eye for that stuff would have noticed. Well done! (I don't mean that to sound condescending!)

[@soundlight]

Nope, ETC Obsession 650 (1st gen, not obs2) with MLDRC. Everything was sync'd via the internal SMPTE timecode of the Obsession.

[@HaloEliteLegend]

Interesting use of the mirrors... You should get some movingheads!

[@soundlight]

Board was an Obsession 600 (upgraded to 750) using the internal SMPTE clock at 30fps to fire cues. Music was just started at the same time that I started the timecode sequence. Movers are Intellabeam 700HX, and the scrollers had been messing with me for a while. No idea what it was, but they're back to normal now. They're Apollo SmartColors, just for reference.

[@soundlight]

The VLX (vari*lite's LED fixture) is going to be pretty sweet. Zoom and everything. We recently were deciding if we could replace our cyc lights with LEDs, and we came to the conclusion that nothing less than a full Selador hang top and bottom would do it. Don't have the money for that! The colors and punch of anything less (even the Martin Stagebars and other RGBAW fixtures) just aren't up to it.

[@ferryjammy]

fantastic hope to see more vids similar ferryjammy

[@b4y0n37w0rk]

haha soundlight, it's SAWYeR from CB. Cery nice work, sir.

[@NoiseMakerX]

This make me think of the seventies...

[@spoerl92]

w8... u set that shit up? damn yo haha good stuff lol and this has 2 be 1 of the most beast songs ever made

[@stage223]

It is a great Light show. Which movingheads do they use ??

[@soundlight]

Well, I'll say this - I found out that the local Dominos will deliver until 2am. I'd say setup + programming + timecode entry was about 50 hours. Time for subsequent shows drops significantly as I learn more.

[@riverpound]

That´s funny. good job.

[@KevKa61289]

nice

[@TheMovieFails]

i have just seen how to program dmx controllers, holy crap,this must have taken hours!

[@grateredshark12345]

yoko cono FTW

[@tomrbland]

Sorry about the typo!

[@kujjja]

Someone knows if they are going to make something in Europe?

[@soundlight]

Says in the title. "Tank" - The Seatbelts

[@Boomdoggles]

try some isoloutios gear its pretty good and solid

[@NordSporter]

haha, nice oldschool lightshow, and the good old intellas, well done (I presume you use the Intellabeam Controller for the Scanners, right?)

[@martin0mac2000]

how many fixtures are on this rig and what types?

[@245thegreat]

needed a bit more smoke then you would of totally cracked it nice job

[@daveystod]

Do you use Light Jockey to Cue?

[@00hehe]

that is a gel light and a moving head

[@lighttech258852]

What lixing console did you use??

[@dman11231123]

what up dude

[@ohmagaod]

this is ridiculous! what system did you use to program this? this had to be hell to set up.

[@stevespeed2000]

What did you use to control these?

[@MetalDialga1998]

@bryan316ify Tank for the anime "Cowboy bebop" Now on Adult swim

[@NaNdgate]

Mmm, reminds me of when i stayed up "late" to watch cowboy bebop.

[@djclos1988]

nice light show to bad ur PARs are blowing ur scans away :P

[@soundlight]

Please explain. Creative criticism accepted, blatant disregard not.

[@soundlight]

Took me far too long. Including all the setup and rigging, probably 50 to 60 hours. I use what the theatre has, and at this point in time we do not have the budget to purchase LED fixtures powerful enough to be useful in a theatre and dance setting. These fixtures are minimum $500 each, and they wouldn't be useful unless we had 12 to 16 of them for washes - otherwise they'd be useless toys. It's hard to compete with a 575 watt T-H source and specially designed filament + reflector.

[@harmoniedebeaurains]

Bah c'est moche... je ne comprends pas l'engouement des gens pour cette vidéo

[@SMPTE82]

boring ... sorry ....
