Control Protocols: Where We’ve Been, and Where We’re Headed
When I was in about tenth grade, I lit my first rock show. It was in my high school foyer during the homecoming dance. We didn’t have any kind of portable lighting control in my school. I ended up taking down four Fresnels in the theatre and hanging them on the volley ball net stands that I “borrowed” from the gym. For control, I went to the hardware store and purchased four household rheostat dimmers and made my own 4 channel lighting control board. It was clunky, but it worked, and my first rock show was (in my mind) a smashing success. Not bad for a 15 year old kid in 1989. Oh, how far we have come since then.
