another point in favour of Eos is that its fantastic for teaching. Other desks and software can be very intimidating for beginners. ETC do an outstanding job with the amount of control you have over your user interface which is perfect for teaching the basics to students.

I loved the opening piece where you stated your teaching responsibilities and ended with “amongst other things”.

Gremlins! Love your Magic Sheet - I hope I can create something similar.

Overdue thanks for this - Saw this video a few weeks ago (October, 2021) and it inspired me to finally make a usable magic sheet for busking - and programming. Lots of trial and error, but I finally made a sheet that was much more complex than I set out to make - but now literally anyone can sit in front of the board and make things do stuff. We added touch screens just short of COVID but now that we have such a simple and visual interface that can be used with a mouse also, I feel bad for waiting so long.

Great video! I learned a lot of great stuff from those same two videos recently and your sneak time buttons sealed the deal for me ha

Nice work.
It was excellent to address that while this system is not normally a "go-to" for ad hoc busking shows, there is your incredibly important point of working with what you have within your budget, AND that many of the theatres have an EOS anyway, so I applaud that logic and great to see the EOS do some busking!
You are to be commended for your focus on giving your students some real world transferable portable skills.

great and simple video! I have been working on something very similar for working with students- I was simply writing effects and having them toggle between them, but the layout you did here is great! I will definitely be stealing a few ideas from here! great video!

At our theatre we have a GIO with a fader wing and an MA2 OnPC with command and playback wings. The MA is my go-to for busking the music shows and sometimes dance shows that come through, but right now it's in the shop to get some faders replaced. It won't be back in time for a few shows that I need to busk, so I've gotta do them on the GIO. This video you made is very helpful and hopeful for my relationship with our GIO, which I pretty much wrote off as a cue to cue machine only. Thanks for making this video!

Hi! Great Video! I'm learning to use ETC eos to operate live like MA2... Soon i have Usa tour.. and I want to ask which board are the most used in theaters? Thanks!

Hey really nice setup, any chance you could upload the magic sheet, would be really useful.

Edit: Thinking about it could we have a copy of the show files then we can copy the palettes used for certain buttons?

[JSAY.LUMINARY]

Oh you just expanded my mind. Thank you .

[asilva_media]

Yo a fader wing would help you guys a ton

[Hazzums]

Hi really good vid not sure if you’ll see this comment as the video was a while ago but any way of you sharing the show file so I can see more in-depth how it’s setup

[BryanLankston]

How did you get a touch screen to work with a Mac? I am trying to use Nomad for an event in a couple weeks and I cannot get my Macbook to work with the touch screens I have at my normal lighting console.

[tobywebb]

Hey. Great video. What moving lights do you use? Also, if i wanted to assign a button to turn on a frost filter on a moving light, how would I go about that?

[jsck]

Hi great video, don't know if you will be reading this but how did you got that touchscreen working with Mac OS? As far I know Mac OS doesn't support touchscreens.Could you please explain how you set this up?
Thank you.

[jeanlapeyre]

Bonjour, je n'arrive pas à faire la macro "stop effect" avec un temps de sortie ou avec le sneak.
Pouvez-vous m'aider ?
Merci bien cordialement.
Jean

How did you get the sneak times on your magic sheet with the different sneak times

[zavasolutions]

How do I slow down the transition between focus palettes?

[alvasorcerervideolibrary]

We really need to stop calling it "programming". What I do is programming. Light designing is not and never should be "programming".
