Baz Halpin (Show Director, Co-Show Designer) and Alex Reardon (Co-Show Designer / Lighting Designer) of Silent House have developed an ultra stylish and colorful stage design for singer Khalid. Production Manager and FoH Audio Engineer CJ Blair and Lighting Director Jonathan Camarillo give EventElevator brief glimpse into the key elements of the energetic and free spirited stage design and audio techniques.

The design has been adapted for the smaller Europe venues but the style still retains the key-look of Silent House featuring a massive lighting rig with 75 Ayrton MagicBlade-FX, 80 ROBE BMFL Washbeams, GLP Impression X4s and lots of TMB Solaris Flares.

This video was completed during the coronavirus quarantine.

I am at a point in the semester where ordinarily, I spend two or three classes in one of our theatre spaces experimenting with lights. One of the goals is to bring beginning theatre students to an understanding of how a lighting design is often composed of washes and specials, and what those terms mean. I also try to create and understanding of the light plot, the hang, and the focus as merely being the preface to the actual art of the lighting design, which happens when we create and run cues with the rest of the company.

Since there is no way to bring my students together in a theatre space right now, I have turned to some of my virtual tools. I have a virtual theatre complex that I built many years ago. I use the spaces within it to demonstrate concepts in various tools and videos.

Today I made a ten-minute video that, hopefully, makes up for a lot of the demonstration that I usually am able to do. I made this for my Intro to Theatre Design class, which is composed of undergraduate B.A. students emphasize all aspects of theatre, not just design and technology.

It should be very suitable for high school students as well as university.

In this video, learn how to use luminaires in a complete theatrical lighting rig for churches, schools, and theaters. Watch as we add key lighting; down, side, and back lighting; and cyc and effect lighting to build our lighting solution, and discover how the different fixtures work together. In a few short minutes, learn how to use static and moving head luminaires in a full, versatile entertainment lighting solution perfect for any education, house of worship, or theatrical application.

System includes:
VL800 Series
VL2600 Series
Leko LED Profile
Cantata LED Fresnel
Aurora LED Strip
Coda LED Cyc

While it may seem like most lighting software only runs on PC's, there are still a number of great options if you are a Mac user. Watch to get my take and a brief overview of the top DMX lighting software programs for Mac.
