Stage 7 Software & Gear Course 5 of 6

Lighting, Smoke and Flight Cases

Intermediate 5 lessons · 1 h 32 min

The part of mobile work that is not sound. Rigging lighting so it does something for the room, keeping a smoke machine from clogging, building a case that survives being loaded into a van, and a long demonstration of laser kit with the safety considerations included.

By the end of this course you will be able to

  • Set up mobile lighting that suits the room rather than fighting it
  • Clean and maintain a smoke machine
  • Build or choose a flight case that protects the gear
  • Understand what laser kit involves before hiring or buying any
