Crave

Thursday nights we do the weekly meeting for Campus Crusade for Christ at UCF. It's a rather large production including imag, lots of lights, full band, and about 3-8 video and graphics sources. Every week, we arrive at 5, and leave at midnight. Lots of fast setup and teardown for about an hour and a half of show. Everything went pretty smooth, and we've been experimenting a bunch with live video during the music. We used to use a bunch of video loops and moving backgrounds during the music, but recently moved to live video; and are working every event to make it more and more dynamic. I'm like seventeen posts behind, so I'll close this out and elaborate next thursday on This event, and will hopefully be back on schedule with these posts by then.

Double post part 1.

Light night for Southside Christian Church in Kissimmee. We provided staging and audio for the event that held on the brink of rain the whole evening. About 1000 people showed up throughout the halloween night, and music was from Shades of Green, some close friends of REC TEC. Held in a chick-fil-a parking lot, the event posed a problem for power. Usually, we would use a three phase generator for power, but one was not in the budget this year. We tripped a few circuits early in the evening, so I'm sure a large generator is on the list for next year, now. Once we moved some power and spread it out, that took care of the power issues. Jeremy Tomlinson ran front of house for the night, and I was stagehand/assistant to him pulling cables and checking lines and giving 2 cents here and there. The night concluded with a quick packup and a not as quick drive home.
