Adam L F Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I think this may of been the best thing I've seen in a while! Saw quite a few people younger than myself this year walking around with "Lighting Designer" on their name badge at Plasa, gave me a few laughs.

tbexon Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 ** laughs out loud ** I know how to use every lighting console in the world by watching loads of youtube videos ** laughs out loud ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacethebase Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 This is great! So true..... Lighting design isnt something you can just become because you want to be. Take me for example I know how to use most lighting desks Avo, Flying Pig etc but I have the artistic nature of a concrete wall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossmck Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Lighting design isnt something you can just become because you want to be. Take me for example I know how to use most lighting desks Avo, Flying Pig etc but I have the artistic nature of a concrete wall! I've always thought of myself similarly, although I have actually had to 'design' too and been told by a few (professionals!) that I'm not that bad at it, and have actually been hired (real paid work ;)) a few times in a design role (although more often as a technician) ... I'm my own worse critic but even then I still don't refer to myself as a lighting designer, some day perhaps... That said at 16/17 I knew the basic principles, how to use a few manual boards and Strand GSX/LBX, that was about it ... it was by being around those that *did* know what they were doing that I learnt anything, not by watching YouTube tutorials (not that they don't have their place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I watch youtube tutorials quite often - usually adobe after effects, and they're great. However, even by the next day I have forgotten everything and have to go back and watch it again - they're not designed to teach you, they're designed to show you - so useless for anything except the video content.

ramdram Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It is funny...until you meet one...and you need a superfast internet connection just to read the CV in a realistic "timeframe" (sic). Smalljosh knows who I mean...and quite a few others around our end of the country too... And the "w" word was far too polite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
