ADj Progressive Metal Lighting

Well, I won't comment on the sound quality other than to say there is a TOTAL LACK of quality. What is going on up there? Are you running pigs through a woodchipper and calling that music?

But, onto the lighting:

First off, we can see lights that work best with fog or haze. And to all, note that they are using fog or haze so you can see those beams. Fog isn't necessaril just for atmosphere, it can be a necessary element for stage shows, In this case, SOME of the lights really need to hae those beams shown. This is a really good example of that.

Also, clearly, this band practices with lights or at least with a lighting designer. While the show isn't exactly tight synced, it is obvious someone is paying attention and making mostly appropriate scene changes. While I do see the same scenes being used over and over again, this is nothing negative or unexpected. Some people seem to think we need zillions of scenes t do a show, and that's just flat out not true. Wise design of scenes coupled with re-use and mixing it up can be quite successful. In this example, it clearly shows that you don't need a completely original scene ever second, although they did burn through quite a number of scenes.

Camera work: Might want to calm it down a bit, but since I don't get to really do on the fly video switching much(I can't do lights, sound recording and video with recording all at once, I only got 2 hands and I can't work with my feet!)

Stage: What idiot thought it would be a good idea to put a stage located where a huge load bearing structural post is going to blocking things? How stupid. Clearly not the band or poster's fault, but rather poor club design. Just wondering if a joist and some additional load-bearing posts could be engineered and placed so as to give the stage clear sight lines. Just an annoying distraction.

Interesting video. Others should watch it. Why not share your lighting inventory? I'm interested in what you're doing. My lighting design has enough to do that, just I lack the design experience to do it. I think others knowing what you have might help them learn too.

Thanks a lot for the critique. I'll start off with the rig...
2 Starball LED DMX
2 Microh Duobeam MKII lasers
1 Quad Gem
1 MegaFlash DMX
4 Par 38 cans
8 work lights from home depot
2 Elation dp 415 dimmer packs
and its all controlled by an Elation Scene Setter.

Just some proof that you don't have to have a ton of lights to put on a good lighting show.

And this isn't the first time I've seen out of the box thinking(using work lights from a hardware store). Not something I would do myself, but not saying it's not a valid application either. Good cheap way to get a very bright flood effect. Big draw on current but then again, you guys weren't pushing it all the time.

Knowing how to use what you have, and good fixture selection.
