(1:34)<br> This past week we had the Super Bowl which is a huge event hosted each year. One of the best parts is the Halftime Show. It’s a huge production that takes a lot of preparation and teamwork to make it happen.<br> What I liked about this year’s show is how the lighting and visual effects were not overdone. I feel like this a great lesson because you want the lighting to be great but you don’t want it to overpower the performance.<br> There’s a couple of articles about the production of the Halftime Show, which is a great read. These articles go into how the show was set up and why they did the things they did for the show.

We are trying to avoid the high wattage lamps due to heat and energy needs, however, LEDs for that use seem to be very expensive. Currently, we are temporarily using our DMX controlled motion lights for this but they emit too much glare when trying to record a live video. Wanted to replace these motion lights with fixed lights to only be used for the band.<br> Hope you can help me figure this out. Your videos have also been helpful. I just bought the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Enttec-70570-Controller-Software-Channels/dp/B00UNPW18Q/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1549902281&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=dmxis&psc=1">DMXIS controller</a> so I need to learn that soon as well. Our plan is to incorporate DMXIS with Ableton Live (also a new project coming soon)<br> As you may have noticed LED’s that make white and look nice is really expensive. With church lighting and only using them 8 – 12 hours a week, shouldn’t significantly affect the bills.<br> What I would recommend is getting the brightest light for your space. Especially with only using these lights during the weekend services. As for the glare, you’ll want to find out what is causing the glare.<br> You don’t have to go with LED but if you do then make sure you go with one that gives you the even wash you want it to. I would even suggest looking at Conventional Par Cams and see if those would make it happen for you. A good brand to check is Chauvet DJ which has been putting out some great stuff lately.<br> Also, since you are starting out and buying new equipment I do recommend checking out L<a href="https://lp.learnstagelighting.com/learn-stage-lighting-labs/">earn Stage Lighting Labs</a>. We have a fantastic Forum, personalized support, as well as an Action Plan, Lighting for Video, to get you started.<br>
