#lighting board

[newyorkthegoldenage]

Leon Leonidoff, production director of Radio City Music Hall, watches a dress rehearsal on the great stage from the twelfth row, February 2, 1933. The board in front of him contains a light chart, showing all of the 2,000 lighting combinations possible, with control buttons. It also has a microphone, making it possible to speak to any employee without having to leave his seat.

So I know it's kinda late to send this in but you asked for asks bc you were lonely or something like that so um I hope that this is OK. I know it's kinda weird but my current hyperfixiation is lighting... So basically every year at my school the graduating grade, year whatever makes a show and this year that's my year group, grade (wtf do you call it English???). My role in the show is being the person controlling all the lights so all I've done this week at school is sit (1 sec, this is 1/2)

(light anon 2/2) in the back of the auditorium and control the lights. It’s super fun but whenever someone moves the stage or the keyboard or whatever I have to move all the light and program it again. I control the lights by using this little panel that has all these buttons on them and I set up the lights than press the button labeled “program” then “add” then the button I want it to be so then I only have to press that button and it sets up. It’s very fun and could talk way more about it

oh heck! working on a lighting board sounds so cool dude!!!!!!

I’ve never gotten to work behind the scenes on any shows but it always sounds so cool to me!

Since it's graduation season, you should do superlatives for lighting instruments. I nominate Source4 Ellipsoidal for most likely to succeed!

I nominate Par64 for most dependable

Fun fact: The wing nut on a clamp will break before anything else when tightened too far.
