Internet you've written a very long thread that 99.99% of people have no idea what you mean LMFAO

None the less I admire the dedication

Just looking at the images and not reading any of it, it's basically telling my your very expensive hobos by using like propane casisters to heat food and have expensive sound/lighting equipment for some reason.

You can earn more working in Tesco a lot of the time so yeah that's accurate

Same thing

I'll have you know good Sir, they are not the same thing.
A Par Can will output 1000W of power. That would heat 1kg of water up by 1 degree every 4.2 seconds. That's boiling your a litre of water in 5 minutes!

On the flip side, a good gas cooker has an average power output of 3kW. Consider it this way, if you divide the power output by the energy density of propane, you'd find a number. I don't have any paper, so I won't bother finding out how much money you're wasting using propane vs heating everything on a light.

stfu internet. <3

Sours, don't be rude.

Well done Internet. I for one - oh who am I kidding, I understand none of this :^)

I do LX myself.

And it is the same as for sound there is always that drunken person that "Has one at home" and messes about with it.

Checklist for rigging
-Is it safe
-Will it burn
-Is it good enough
-Does it do the job
-Does it actually work

And as for patching

What ever looks good and sounds right, and if the director isn't shouting at you with "Why aren't you doing that" then you are probably doing it right.

As for the performance

-Final checks
-Tea and cake
-Script
-Quick run though the scene lights
-Head Test
-Comms Check

And just give it a shot.

LX rules, SFX drools (sorry barky).
In all seriousness, I'm in work today, so I'll grab some pictures of our kit while I'm there.

It's amazing what sort of stuff you can pull off with terrible equipment.

As with the drunk guy, I was observing a BETC Level 3 Music Tech class. They had to use a A&H PA12 to rig up a "simple" PA (LCR, Mono FB, Mic + Stereo Backing Track Input, Outboard Effects)

The first thing the teacher did was walk over to me and say "You used the board last, and didn't bother zeroing it. Go mad."
Fucked up everything on the desk, except the Pan, which I set to hard left (which looks like 0 for any other rotary, I am a devious swine.)

Then he took half the class outside, and said "You're at a big festival. You are the manager of the band. You are the H&S rep. You are a lighting tech... The rest of you are drunk. Have fun."
The other half of the class had to setup this PA, whilst being harassed by these "drunk" people, with the manager just going "Yeah yeah, he can't hear himself mate. Nah mate, sounds a bit shit."

Then half way through setting up, one of the crew didn't squat to pick up the speakers, and the "H&S rep" started yelling at him about proper lifting technique.

Took them 20 minutes to work out I'd hit the bypass switch on the external compressor.

Amazing class, hilarity to observe, but also great for teaching you what happens in the real world.

I've moved up from lighting tech to SM, which is quite nice for me at this point.
