ABSTRACT
Okay , let’s take a step back, because I am sure you just said, “ What about moving luminaires? ” Be very careful here. First, they will take up a big part of your budget. Second, ask yourself: “ Will I really have time to program looks? ” This is not intended to discourage you but to make you pause for a minute. Yes, you want to impress the promoter, club owner, and even the band … but at what price? If you end up not having the time to program, the show will suffer and you may look foolish in the eyes of the exact people you were trying to impress. It may be wise to do your fi rst show for a new client very simply and put your full concentration on doing a lot with a little. That often impresses more than a lot that does little.
