0:01 Ever in full HD

Here we are guys, a gig log. First one ever in full HD. I'm going to worry about spending time sitting there waiting for it to upload. There's the dodgy van, Mark 7. And here is the golf club. Just going to take a look inside. OK, I've done and tried to keep it to a minimum. They want video. I was going to set the screen up but no point. Simply because there's not enough room. I could have put it... In that gap, but not enough room, and that white wall is perfect. So, just makes sense really. Less is more. Two moving heads, those are the Chaudet Intimidator 350. I've got some of the easy pins. Now, I'm going to try the Glow Totem. It's a 1.5 version without scrims, but to be quite honest, looking at it now...

1:22 Speakers are the Wharfedale Pro

Probably did need them, but there you go. Speakers are the Wharfedale Pro. That is a battery powering up for the drone. A couple of scrims on here with a full-plate clear sound to light. And I have over here the Corebar 4. Got these wired up in a footswitch. One there, one over there and then one on the far side. But again, it's difficult to set things up here. There's very little space for cables and I've done my best with gaffer tape along there but apart from going along here and across, people are going to be milling through here anyway so I'm probably going to secure that down or gaffer tape down there just in case they go that way instead of going around. What I've done as well is A bit of a makeshift scrim kind of thing. It's a bit dark on the back there. That just cuts out the look of the cables. There you go, I've turned the gain up now on the camera. So there you go. Again, I'm sure as a lot of people find, a setup doesn't look as good during the day but then at night time when it gets a bit darker it takes on a new whole dimension

During the summer, it's difficult. Oh, no, I'll start again. During the summer, it gets darker later. And sadly here, oh, that's bright. They have no curtains, so the actual light isn't going to make much of a difference until it's gone nine o'clock. But having said that, the Intimidator spots, the 350s, are very bright anyway. You can see there, you know, I've got the gain. Set up quite high on this, and they are very bright. There you go. Pretty good. Okay.
