Greetings SupHerb people!
Thank you for reading and watching this audio visual post. As you have noticed, I am posting more of my projects into this blog as my portfolio grows from class assignments. This projects are a testimony of what skills I have learned, what level I am at when I made these projects and that allows all to see the growth from this moment.
In the video, I had to program a light show using Live 11 and DMX32. We could use any song or music we wanted. I selected one of DJ Hernán Cattañeo’s live mixes, and because he posts them for free on his podcast.hernancattaneo.com site, I am free to use it without any copyright issues. Here is the credit for educational use only!
Thank you Hernán!
At one point you see the phone fall over. I was holding my cell phone and wanted to set it down so I could go dance in the light show but, that didn’t work so I continued to record my programmed assignment. I could have stopped and recorded it again with the phone on a tripod. However, I felt it was more authentic for my instructor to the candid handling which also proves that it was a programmed event because I could not hold the phone and do the DMX’s at the same time.
Anyway, the process of making the lighting design project required a few steps:
Brainstorm ideas and select a song plus choose when to start the light event.
Book studio time and show up ready to program my project idea.
Learn how to use Live 11 midi and set-up session. (Follow class template)
Open DMXs app and program presets after figuring out which switches and buttons control all of the lights we have on the set.
Actually record your programmed lighting preset selections into Live 11 via midi.
Play back your recorded settings to make sure they do what you wanted.
Finally, record the lighting set with your cell phone and upload it with the other assignment materials into a zip file.
Hit the submit assignment button for the project to be graded by instructor.
And there we have it. Of course this took place over a three week time frame as we learned all of the steps and how to use the DMX’s app in Live11. The course is 7 wks, and this was the final project. I got a 100%.
Other lighting and live sound elements were taught during this course. I am highlighting this final project as to show my talents on the subject.
At the moment, we are celebrating July 4th! While others are out watching fireworks, I am inside creating more fireworks for a grand career in audio.
Much appreciated for viewing this post.
