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!
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!
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 👍🏼
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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!
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!
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!
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 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 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?
@@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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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...
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.
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?
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
Total of everything? To buy it? Depends on volume discounts and deals but figure around $400k for lights, $50k for truss and rigging, sound equipment I really have no idea. Video is around another $200k. It’s expensive stuff. These are just estimates.
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)
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
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.
What do you think? If this video gets 500 likes, I’ll upload another video this week :)
Great Video, would like to see also a little bit about the PA and special effects
@@Terminator0815Sm I think that's going to be in Scott's video.
LInk to "scott's video"?
@@N3rdboyTV It's not done yet
I just gave you number 500 like! wait for a new video
The production quality of the videos keep going up and up
Trying my best!

Love the mirror on the back side for the MagicPanels.
Rad-I-Nation hello
im from boston, working production in philly now. So glad that this video is in the HOB.. love that venue
Best part of my union break is watching your videos. The laser programming looks amazing.
Pew ---🙃
That curved led wall is just amazing! 🎉😊 Looks like a high definition curved 2.6mm pixel pitch wall? Wonderful! 👌😊
This is awesome. I was at the CT show. Thanks for letting me watch from FOH.
Love the idea of the mirror backs. Such a cool effect! Awesome video
Damn that’s a nice setup! So much going on for the audience.
Adam Sidelsky his
Could you share a link to Scott's page. you mentioned him when speaking about the PTZ camera.
been trying to look for the same.
Same over here, wanna now who he is
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.
Damn in that case we got played
I'm guessing the feed was presented on the visualizers?
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!
That is due to the frame rate of the camera he is using.
Absolutely love the video, well worth the wait

Great video Christian! These are always so entertaining to watch
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
Do this video was freaking amazing! So awesome to see such a beautiful stage be made by such talented people!
Ayyyy I was your house guy in KCMO. It was cool to work this show and get to see it live

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

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

4 stagehands and one Laser Papi Parker shore
@@christianjackson awesome!
What a comprehensive and wonderfully presented video! Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you :)
Great video. I think outside is also an emergency power generator. as backup
So the Kinetics were controlled through MA2? can you do a video on how Kinetics are done and designed? So few places do them.
That’s pretty dope, Louis the Child!
I personally thought it was amazing & privilege to watch & what the lasers called used in the show, thanks for sharing, amazing rig
Awesome vid Christian! Keep up te good work :)

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
Did Scotts video ever go up? Would love to see that.
FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ok, We want to see you mixing mono with the right ear 🤗
Oh wow you took the advice I commented on the last video 😂 killer rig, wish I could have caught you guys on the road.
Very interesting! Thanks Christian😀
Them lasers are awesome!
That mirror is dope.
Thats what I'm talking about! nice work!
Way cool!! Thanks for the great video!
Absolutely love this! Amazing amazing amazing
Oh my god I LOVE the GMA3 Merch!
You talk about Scott for the PTZ cameras, but no link to his video? :P
It’s not up yet
@@christianjackson any update? could you link to his channel pls as i cant find it. thanks :)
How did you transport the LED screen throughout the tour?? Where did everything fit?
I worked this show in Milwaukee, I can’t believe I didn’t recognize you
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.
wait.. how... how are those lazer things making shapes in 3d air?
So sequel is becoming the new hot font

What’s the m32 doing in lx world at FOH? Your mixing support ? Or timecode distribution ?
In any case the design and beautiful bravo
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!
I need more videos.
The m 32 on your left ?! Aaah, You do audio too!
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
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...
9:22 physics are broken. How tf are they 'bending' the beams?
google for rolling shutter
The moving spheres tho... Are they lights or just spheres with a string tied to them? That looks dope.
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.
