I've made a custom icon for Eos. Why? Why not.

Here's the full logo.

Theatre-style lighting in a model of the Starship discovery bridge.

I loooove the visuals of disco--but all nutrek (since TOS) lacks that good Theatre-lense flaire. BRING BACK THE PINK AND GREEN HALLWAYS PARAMOUNT I'M BEGGING YOU.

Made in Vectorworks Spotlight and Capture with ETC EOS software.

I did not make the model! It was provided by an instructor. If I find credit (I am looking) I will post it here :)

this took me so fucking long not because it was particularly hard, lighting wise or technology wise, but because the fucking internet kept going out and destroying the connection between my capture window and the actual fixtures and fucked everything up. And when I re-entered their addresses I fucked up somehow (even though I imported directly from vectorworks and I don't have a universe limit, or any overlapping addresses--supposedly) and all the control parameters got FUCKED.

I would adjust the pan/tilt of one fixture, and a completely different fixture would change colors or intensity. Even after completely un-patching all the fixtures, checking their DMX footprint, remembering that capture calls addresses channels for some goddamn reason and fixing everything there, re-patching (TWICE), fully restarting capture, and completely re-doing the light import/export with a million different parameters like three times the lights were still misbehaving.

I ended up manually panning and tilting within the capture software mostly, even though hypothetically most of the fixtures could have done that themselves.

All I'm saying is that this shit would never happen in person with my beloved EOS GIO board and real actual tangible lights. but I can't light the starship discovery in person. so.

I'm pretty happy with how it came out. If even one singular person asks I'll post some of my other renderings/models I've lit for fun (i don't have many pics of the ones ive done. like. professionally lol)

Hi fellow Eos programmers!

If any of you are interested in creating a similar ETC Eos custom control keyboard to the one I’ve shown off a few times on the blog (https://opposite-prompt.tumblr.com/post/178853855225/working-on-the-conservatoriums-semester-2), I’ve now bundled up the config files for Cherry Tools to program the keyboard macros, and the keycaps cut-out file I designed (plus some improvements). Let me know if you use it, or want to know more about how to set up this affordable programming tool.

yeah note to self:

don't get cocky with light board programming tricks when there's 4 consoles/computers (primary, 2 clients, and a backup) on the network and you forgot to check if the file had been recently saved...

also infinitely looping macros that are supposed to stop via other macros are scary, 0/10 would not recommend

Dance 2017 setup. The sad thing- I need all of these displays.

American Stage in the Park

I wrote a little thing about the lighting process for American Stage in the Park’s production of The Producers. Check it out.

Hmm... Lighting design for ivycomb... I wonder...
