[@christianjackson]

New text layer Ok seriously think I maybe need to hire an editor 😂 who agrees Sorry about the errors in this one, will be posting a link to an unlisted version 2 without those uhhh mistakes

[@dunste123]

The new text layer was the best part ;)

[@ivanheinzer6829]

Made me laught too haha

[@3dprint-tech787]

No editor needed, I like your edits

[@martinsb28]

You’re doing great no editors for you as always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ryanrtw]

well, there’s your next twitter name

[@Grandpa_Joe]

You need a laser pointer with a visible beam. Would help with communication when pointing out things that are far out of reach or at a distance.

[@imark7777777]

@yaa moirangcha I would say a decent quality green laser as the beam will go further and be fairly visible. Definitely something of decent quality because the one I got died. You could use red but it doesn't show up quite as well or go quite as far. After all green is usually used for pointing out Stars and driving airplanes crazy.

[@mrgeraldbrent]

@yaa moirangcha Wicked Lasers cells some quality stuff.

[@PrimitiveShowKH]

Hello

[@rev_dude]

you need haze for a visible beam, no matter what color the laser is

[@Heviaasi]

@@rev_dude Not true, dust or even moisture in the air is usually enough.

[@vanderhooftamvl6587]

I really like the go pro footage, just so easy to see what you see

[@josiahwilson9621]

*vibing ;)

[@timdmx512]

loved it. so proud of what we made. the show went on!

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

Good job!!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

this is awesome

[@wienerstein2817]

Wow interesting seeing you here. What happened to the DP analysis videos?

[@jpjoshua19]

So sweet to get an inside look on what being an LD is like at this level! Thanks for the content, Bro!

[@kevie3]

So your job is one people dream of having but then have nightmares about. It is filled with the most amazing scenes and also the highest anxiety!! But man I truly can appreciate what you do after watching this series. Thank You For Sharing Your Journey Brother it was truly an amazing art to watch.

[@Vincent-Vega24]

I have been with you for awhile. Its really awesome to see how you have grown!!! In the begining, you taught me how to diagnose and fix fixture problems, now your running huge festivals!!! All i can say is AWESOME! Keep on Keeping on my friend!!!!

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

Looks amazing! I've been doing lighting for a theatre group and it's really cool to see where things could one day lead. I've jumped in the deep end with virtually no experience and am pretty proud of what I've done so far in such a short time. Way more fun than I expected.

[@gabriwm]

Whoa, Rocca is actually born in the same city I was (Curitiba, Brazil). Lots of LDs and DJs from Brazil actually came from here or live/lived here. Its very cool to see that the art we do connect more people that we cant even think of!

[@kainpwnsu]

This is a fantastic stage! Congratulations on a successful build and show. I am absolutely not surprised you ran a rig this big.

[@TheDjRody]

Hey! Love this series! Do you plan on making a video of the creative process of designing a stage? Would be soo interesting! Thanks for your vids , love them

[@rahultaneja7412]

Agreed

[@bekkerthesokuangeldragon68]

I might be able to build/create a big stage where i am at, like in my big outdoor property and stuff like that. Not a huge massive stage or a medium size. A small size stage that can probably fit like 2 up hanging ' Short ' Line-Arrays speakers and also some DMX Lights and also my DJ Set. I can't really explain or think of it all...

[@ryanclegg6891]

Can this be classed as a true Christian Jackson vlog even though there was no pizza? 🤔😂

[@giglight]

No toilets = no pizza I guess!

[@DaDudeClub]

The very definition of "work hard/patry hard" right here. Love your work mate

[@DisneyMarkUK]

Wow, it’s fascinating to see behind the scenes of such large projects, thanks for sharing

[@theoliver4816]

how tired u was while cutting this vid? some parts are twice :D

[@cunijoeme]

"insurance policy" i hope it had nothing to do with ensuring you were going to get paid

[@BrianRondeau107]

Wow that stage is wild! Nice to see the conclusion of this series, they were all great to watch. Thanks for all the interesting videos 🙂

[@SoundGuyDavo]

This looks way fun. Do you have a vlog describing like, how you got where you are today in your career?

[@oldaccount67543]

this is so cool to watch. so much goes into festivals and it’s really fascinating. the whole festival eco system is so interesting

[@christianjackson]

Thanks for watching :)

[@bsoundlighting]

[@ephjaymusic]

27:07 seeing all that kit under the stage was incredible! Thanks so much for this vid!

[@timkeklinker]

yeah thats basically how the problems at all of our events a school look like. no just kidding we have problems like getting the equipment to late from the rental company or having not enough time to set it all up cause we're getting bigger and bigger with our setups. last time we went with 12 lacoustics kara (2x5 main rigging, 2x1 front fill), 4 KS28, 2 SB18 (used as x-over in rigging) and 6 x12 for monitoring. For light stuff we went with 12 JB Lighting P7, 8 Robe Spiider, 4 JB P18, 8 SGM Q-7W, 12 ClayPaky ShowBatten100, 16 TourLED 42cm and a GrandMA 2 Light. We had one day for all of the setup. The event was on the next day but we needed the time for the soundcheck with the bands and all the other stuff. Even though it was very stressful, we managed to finish in time and it was a heck of a lot fun. love your videos:)))))

[@mastercraftlarrya3077]

You are both Patient and Meticulous , while being completely understanding and Calm of the reality of your situation. This is why you are likely a "Go to" name/LD in your industry.

[@redactedlogic]

Not sure how I got to this video, but I found it very intertaining and informative.

[@CTS2022]

I was out in Shanghai a couple of years back doing sound/lighting, fascinating place! The view from the top of the Bund tower is immense...!! It's also great fun working out technical problems with local people, you always get there in the end yes, somehow!! Great video!

[@juweinert]

21:55 I think this is an absolute universal truth right there. Also you sitting along through the morning.

[@deepspaceproductions6419]

Wow, I am a small time DJ in Australia just going through some decisions around DMX programming hardware and software options..... Your world is next level times 1000+!! Thanks for the walkthrough of your setup days.... Very inspiring.... if I was not so old LOL!

[@druuuth6003]

I love seeing the before and after! Awesome dude

[@flavastarinthemaking]

Brilliant love your work👍👍👍👌

[@edeverret2320]

Awesome job on the lights! 25:50 very cool.

[@stefan90kauw]

Hi Christian! Big fan of your videos where I do get to learn a lot of MA2 stuff. One thing I'm not getting any smarter with is using wings. I see several operators and people use wing just by using /wings=2 or similar to create pretty cool symmetrical effects. Whenever I try that the wing spreads out across multiple LX's or when I (for example) add fixture 1 thru 12 (spots) and fixture 13 thru 24 (washes) to an effect where the washes are placed in between the spots where 1 is most left and 12 is most right... The wing will ofcourse start off at fixture 1 and 24... I'd love to see a detailed video about this stuff and maybe some more cool, easy, handy effect related stuff. 👍 You're a legend.. Keep up!

[@constanciopatindol4947]

Its a big stage Christian. Following you man

[@philiphills4536]

I've just seen this trilogy six months delayed, I have to take my hat off to you for your patience in such an environment! Well done on the main stage design, very nice, I did like the second stage more as an innovative design though. Keep up the good work! Editor - yes, and less wobbly bodycam...

[@GovaFlowProductionzz]

Dude these blogs are everything !!!

[@sergiochampion4242]

AMAZING show great video

[@lucbanaan]

I don't know if it's seen fun for you to do but you should make a reaction video for festival lightshows like decibel endshow, defqon endshow, qlimax, hardbass. I do think we have the best party's here in the Netherlands. 😁

[@VideonMedia]

It’s so interesting to see how people trouble shoot the lights before the show! And it’s shocking that this amount of problem will happen.

[@Keyakina]

Damn the stage is increddible! But there are so little people!

[@christianjackson]

Yeah that was rather unfortunate

[@DJoA]

allright ;) looking forward to it :)

[@lennybruder2153]

Finally

[@DJoA]

15 mins to go.

[@ThatRascalMerlin]

Wow, this reminds me of gigging in Jamaica for Reggae Sumfest and other festivals in the Caribbean back in the early 90's. (Genny guy not paid, funky gear, etc.) As for the carni-rific strap on the cross-bar, I feel ya. When I lived in Guangzhou, I was invited by another lighting company to come see one of their shows. I had to hold my mouth closed at what I saw ... It was a rather sizable stage *_and_* sound/light/video rig built *_completely_* out of bamboo! I hope you got to ride the MagLev train to and from the airport!

[@andrewgjordeni]

U’ve done a great job man! I’m always amazed with your content! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Neuey_Laser_Beams]

I actually bought 3 fog fury Jett pros due to this video, I love them soooo much. They are such an amazing effect!

[@basssteppaDJ]

this was really interesting video I really enjoy watching this!! keep them coming !! :)

[@kerwinchadrick]

I have no idea what you're talking about but cooooooool

[@bellum128]

I sense some tension in this show...

[@FriXCorGaming]

Great insight into all the troubleshooting, really appreciate it ^^

[@deejayduy]

So what was your take on the Chinese lights? they aren't the standard quality lights like Robe/ClayPaky/VL/GLP to name a few..

[@timdmx512]

10th of the price is a major factor here

[@VintageSeanTV]

duy nguyen Robe

[@deejayduy]

@@VintageSeanTV my thought exactly

[@dj59y]

next time you do something this size and complexity, put one of your consoles on a case on stage and run out 100' of Cat5 and save yourself that walk to FOH every time you need to check something at the desk.

[@coloradoprospecting1034]

Damn that is a beautiful stage

[@Spiralstagelighting]

Nice vlog Christian! Keep up the good work! 🔥

[@christianjackson]

Thanks!

[@coasterfreek219]

I love these, keep them coming

[@matzemedia9594]

I want more Haze. MORE HAZEEEEEEE!

[@studio217]

matze media and more cowbell.

[@kristapsdergacs7423]

Am I the only one that comes back now and then to watch these again?

[@paulfuchs4002]

The this show lighting tech stuff (happily) means nothing to me, but its still fascinating and very watchable, great tech vlog.

[@seadogg0]

i second that

[@xrey209]

LD and production work is the best stuff to do

[@christianjackson]

Agreed!

[@xrey209]

Christian Jackson last fest I worked with my crew was northern nights and fuck my buddies couldn’t Tec lights till the day of show , such a short pull off but as you said , shows always come together last min basically haha

[@JustinKrux]

amazing stuff, and dont let a few mistakes bring down your confidence, you dont make them often and i like your editing style, the only reason id agree with you getting an editor is if the time spent is too exhausting for you, but if not, keep doing it yourself, your great!

[@gooberotw]

Super entertaining series!

[@bladecutx1103]

I see a cristian jakson upload i i click simple as that i wish there was more content on behind the scenes of lds😀😀

[@JKiStudiosLTD]

It’s finally here!

[@marcodaum6257]

Love your Videos! Keep it up! Greetings from Germany

[@jeremyburd20021]

Those gobo projections are badass

[@junsongjin]

Love your job

[@iagor2066]

Amazing, congratulation.....

[@ohanice8021]

Thanks for this deep insight into the show

[@mozi_h]

This kinda makes me want to try to get into event technician again but I think my current goal, paramedic, is the way to go for me. 😁 But seeing this really makes my heart scream a bit 😣

[@wienerstein2817]

Just a big dumb audio guy here. I'm amazed at your composure when shit hits the fan. Great moves keep it up.

[@nicblaze6428]

Absolutely love that you do these vids, hyped to see the Zomboy vlogs

[@ndmcomputing]

Nice stage. But why do all light jockeys use all light fx *at the same time* ? Sometimes, the stage is bright like on a sunny sunday afternoon...

[@davidgrindley813]

Love the D5 BS movers. They're not an Elation knock off in my opinion. UK based company Equinox are coming out with a similar unit.

[@UOttawaScotty]

Hey man, excellent video, fascinating stuff.

[@nathanmckeogh]

Hi im interested in stage lighting. By anychance will you come to Australia??? Great video!

[@long89st13]

It reminds me of my work, I wish I could understand all the videos you share , love from Vietnam , I’m lighting too , but I am a supporter 😅 , I want to learn more from you

[@Simon-by5fu]

was wating so long for the next episode

[@xanderkilleen1361]

@11:29 the strips blue and green have different speeds somehow, it's in the light blue chase, but when it turns off it goes dark blue for one or two pixels at the end of the chase. Ah good old china fixtures. This and that delay on some of the moving heads you talk about later is why I can't deal with china lights.

[@danquay9504]

I love that stage, it’s awesome 😎 and what was the smoke 💨 smoke machine upriser called I love to sing DJ on that stage,

[@Luftbubblan]

Looks like a fun job.

[@yourneighborhoodwierdo8349]

22:02 that is so dope man

[@TheLEDscientist]

there was not just a strap there, there was also a clamp, on the other side of the truss :) or at least, it looked like that

[@AidanMcLeodProductions]

Your blinder test pattern looks like a tarmac wait light. Crafty pilots

[@rotationevents]

was all the stage stuff ip65 rated, like the ( co2 )smoke machines and the movers, oh and great vid as always

[@dreammakerseventmanagement3358]

great sir

[@LukeLjJames]

wicked video

[@Varguitas10]

We need more of this videos :(

[@brokyval]

amazing content! congrats!

[@MSPAUDIO]

Wow, your is mixing in good

[@briancarter9098]

Now that a few years have passed, care to share more about that insurance policy of deleting ALL of the show files?

[@Nick_23562]

FINALLY!!!!!!!!

[@Maine590]

Yes!

[@jakubjacewicz2588]

What was a brand of those lights, splitters etc? Do You liked it?

[@edeverret2320]

11:05 there is an orange clamp securing the the structure, Its safe and done proper. Who knows why the strap is there but it is not doing anything.

[@DjRedstoneGaming]

Hello ! I discovered your channel not so long ago and I am passionate about lights. For this Christmas, I'd like to get into the dmx with software like sweetlight or sunlight. I have a budget of maximum 200-300 €. I would like to have advice to start well.

[@yingliangnie7038]

I am your loyal fan! Can you share the SHOW file of this program and would like to learn your usage.

[@ellatino55]

Hello, I am falling in love with lighting work and setups. I work currently in AV production for hotels and confrences but I was wondering if you have any direction for me to work in stage production?

[@Mike-P]

WOW!

[@DJCRAZY99LP]

really cool video😍😊

[@shahidsheikh2452]

Nice bro

[@MrGrovestand]

What are the movers cartwheeling from 21:29-21:39. They must have infinite pan, right?

[@josiahwilson9621]

Mr. Jackson, your job looks like so much fun! I am very passionate about music and enjoy engineering and problem solving. My question is this, how would I get into this line of work and what experience would I need in order to get hired onto a crew? Thanks! :)
