When I pan the lights, in real life, they rotate left. In the visualizer, they rotate right. The tilt is correct, but the pan is not. How do I reverse the pan in the visualizer only?
My wife took my 11 year old to Upper Lake Clementine today with some friends and there's a cliff jumping spot that he loves. It looks to be a 12-15' drop if I estimated correctly. It's super deep there. Are there safe cliff jumping spots around (within 50 miles)? I know there's a spot that people will jump in Folsom in/near Lake Natoma, but I know a guy who was paralyzed there, so I'm weary to take him there. Do you guys have some other spots that would be good?
I got to see DSO tonight at California State Fair. It was completely unexpected. We were offered tickets, and my son wanted to stay. I grew up as a huge Grateful Dead fan, and I never got to see the Dead play live. I had dozens, if not hundreds of shows on tapes/CDs... Either way, if you were mixing tonight, it was perfect. Every instrument was clear as day and exactly where it needed to be in the mix. Vocals were on top and perfect. No harshness anywhere. Beautiful, balanced mix and it wasn't too loud. Loud enough to drown out assholes talking, quiet enough to where my ears weren't ringing. I didn't bring my earplugs because I wasn't expecting to see a show tonight. It was probably the best live mix I've ever heard. Absolutely fantastic.
I was driving down Washington, and it looked like there was a big fire coming from the rail yards… May be further… What’s going on?
My lighting guy quit and I know enough to get by. I know it’s easy, but I can’t figure out where it is or what question to ask on Google.
As the sequence goes through its cues, the position and color attributes change for a fixture. I need to get rid of those attributes so they don’t change moving forward. I KNOW I've seen it in a tutorial, but I've seen so many that I have no idea where I saw it.
Thanks for the assist in advance.
Heads up... If you're planning on buying airshow tickets, they are doing dynamic pricing this year. They went on sale this morning for "insiders" (aka subscribe to our newsletter). They've already increased price for Saturday. You also have to buy Saturday OR Sunday. It's no longer "come whichever day you choose". I just got off the phone with them and the gal I spoke to was very frustrated with my point of view by the end of the call. For the record, she kept it together and was very kind. But we definitely don't see eye to eye on the blight that is dynamic pricing... especially for first day "presale" tickets.
I work at a church as a tech director. It's a fairly large church with decent production. My main job was audio for 15 years, then I took over lighting, and then video, and now I'm over it all. I've never worked "in the real world" in production, so I don't know how to guide him. I primarily work with Blackmagic now - Studio 6k Pro and Micro Studio 4k's, but I've worked with Red Komodo as well as Sony F7. I can get him started with basic gear stuff, but what avenues are important? I know in live sound, people ask all the time... how do I get started... and the answer is NEVER, "Go to school"... it's... push cases at a rental shop and then hope to be put on a job. In Video Engineering, is it the same thing? Or would going to film school or something be valuable? He mentioned sporting events specifically, so I don't know if that changes anything.
For those of you that will say, "Let him play outside and be a kid"... trust me... he is and does. I just want to have answers in case the day ever comes where he wants to do something more.
Call it out!
I'm bringing 2 other people down for their first time. I've been before, but I've always been solo, so food never mattered. Where are you eating? We're staying at the Linq and have the monorail pass. We're trying to be low cost for most meals with a nice dinner on Thursday. Any suggestions?
I used to volunteer as a Track Ambassador at Sonoma 20 years ago. NHRA was my favorite weekend. I'm taking my 11 year old. He's SUPER into car culture and burn outs, and rev competitions... He's going to flip his lid.
With that said, I've only ever worked the events... I've never sat. Where would you sit? Does it really matter?
At Sonoma, it gets super hot, so I want to sit in the main grandstand toward the top so we're in the shade. Does anyone know how far the shade goes? I've looked at photos, and it seems that 3 or 4 rows in front of the columns seems to be a good plan, but I don't know if the photos were mid day or what... Again... it's been almost 20 years since I've been there, so my memory is likely spotty.
