Guest saleen351 Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 it's not a Privlage issue, it's a miami issue. At space they were horrible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djkable Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 last time i was there, i told the lighting people the same thing... they never seemed to sort it out. i felt like i was going to have a seizure (and i'm not epileptic), so i ended up going upstairs a lot to give the retinas some rest....seriously... cut down on the strobing. it's annoying as hell in excess like that....

nexusgroove Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 lol. I don't think they have an LD there @ Privlage.I think its all pre-programmed on some crapy ass controller.Most clubs can't afford or care to pay to have a in house lighting tech. They buy the lights and controller and have someone dump like 20 programs into it and never come back. I understand a hiphip club not needing a LD but a club tha plays any kind of electronica. A LD is a be + someone that can controll the light to the beat of the muisc makes a difference in that type of club. as the music controlls the way the chrowd reacts, the lights have an impack on that too.

pod Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Privilege has a full time LD, Greg who used to work at Space about a year ago...not for nothing, but the club and more specifically the LD have been mentioned in national trade publications.On occasion through the night, Greg would have to go upstairs and fix something, and another LD took over for a bit..maybe that is the one whom you saw.I could sit here and argue for hours, but my arguments would be lost on everyone except for Nexus . (in other words, unless you can do better, keep quiet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djkable Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 last i saw..."some-drunk-as-fuck-guy" was running the lights....it wasn't automated. and even if it was automated, it could be programmed much better.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in other words, unless you can do better, keep quiet) I don't think he's there anymore, last I heard he was on standby for space again. I think for Patio.I saw something in the Club Systems Mag. on him, but I have to disagree with the statement that were made.Greg is a great guy and all but if you were to sit down and talk to him about true lighting not much would be spoken.I wouldn't call me a LD just yet.He's just an operator and Programmer.LD is more full range, LD has to have to skills to trouble shoot, repair, and know the basics of the robtics of the fixtures and controllers. If the rig fails at any point while the club is open, he has to have the skills to get it back online or find a solutions to the problem on the spot. That why a club would pay good money for a LD Tech to be inhouse.it hasn't happen yet at space but the day the rig fails they have the resources and team to get the rig back online one way or the other.One of my best friend just got the Production manager title there and he has me on standby on weekends incase such problem was to ever happen.I haven't had the time to Program any of the rooms at space with my style of lighting but if I was people would notice the difference.?was this DRUNK guy black?Greg is a heavy drinker. but good guy.and the best place to learn to be an LD is in the production biz. That were u really get to learn the good stuff as far as programming, Truss loads, Trouble Shooting, Power Loads, DMX Run Charts, theater type lighting and TV Lighitng with white balances and stuff.there is more besides just making the light move and change colors. A lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djkable Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Originally posted by pod (in other words, unless you can do better, keep quiet) i've installed, set up, and ran lights in many clubs throughout the years. and none of that is hard to do. especially something as simple as keeping the strobing from being excessive... so in essence, i believe most people here actually could do a better job with just the knowledge that too much flashing bothers people...

I think they have an elation controller, show designer 2, and it's not that easy to go in and edit a cue on the fly. That controller is for install and small clubs.Greg Loves the strobing lights.... and fast swing movements.what do u control lighting with?-----They told me he was there on trial. dunno if they were going to keep him there.

Martin, LSC, Elation, American DJ, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Yeah that's Greg's backup guy (the white dude...) Greg strobes, but it's more subtle. Privilege is equipped with a Show Designer 2. It's a pain to edit on the fly, especially if you are used to a Lightjockey or a controller like the Hog where it is cake to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they we good with the show designer 2 for the size of the club. I personally HATE that controller or any other controller made by Elation/American DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoebudious Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 I thought the light guys ego got in the way. If it was my event, I would have told him to control himself with his fist pumping etc, You wanna pump the crowd, become the djI didn't think he did a bad job. It was decent, but the showing off thing turned me off big time.I liked the music. Good tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
