As someone coming back into the industry having grown up at a time when moving lights had only just been invented, colour scrollers were considered complex and the Strand Patt 23 lamp was still in widespread use, I have a steep learning curve ahead of me. My first lighting 'board' was a Grand Master (albeit at school) and I grew up on the Rank Strand MMS which was (in the 1980s) the standard house board for all main theatres in the UK. This gentleman leads you by the hand, clearly aware of history, and explains everything in a clear, logical and practical sequence. Given that this video is 7 years old (at the time of writing) I am sure he has moved on to greater things but I would like to commend this instructor for his excellent, hands on, approach to learning the Eos. Bravo!
I came to see if Terry Stuart had included a time stamp list as I was about to write one myself if he hadn't. Happy days, you've beaten me to it. Love your work. Thanks.
that feeling when you spend almost three hours studying a light board instead of studying for the geometry final because its more fun to do lights than shapes. I love tech theater >:)
very informative video really helps having started working in local arts centre that does theatre of all sorts and now learning how to use this same board it's great
This is so complete, well written, well, narrated, etc.. Is this from the company? It should be. I hope you got well paid; just so professional. Thank you.
what would happen for example if the first cue with a long duration turns a light up slowly and then finishes, but the second cue, which went off during the wait, has the light off in it?
Does this lights console have a compatible pc software integration from witch can programs at home ona laptop the lights sessions before show? If does please link to me 🙏
I'm here because we normally use GrandMa boards but we have a backup ion that gets used every once and a while and it's been so long, I forgot a lot of functions/features 😬
The GPU goes on these boards, and it costs at least a couple of hundred to have it reballed, in a similar way to that dodgy run of 2011/2012 macbook pros. Not ideal really...

*(it says 34 but it's not, it's 33)
I love you
Bless you!
I came to see if Terry Stuart had included a time stamp list as I was about to write one myself if he hadn't. Happy days, you've beaten me to it.
Love your work. Thanks.
Very professional done tutorials! Very grateful to the crew who produced this video!
that feeling when you spend almost three hours studying a light board instead of studying for the geometry final because its more fun to do lights than shapes. I love tech theater >:)
I just did that LOL
ME TOO 🫶🏼 doing tech rn
Clear and concise. Very helpful! And someone with a nice voice presenting it! Makes a big difference.
Who is here because of their theater teacher
Me fml
How did you know 😂😂
my stage manager actually recommended this to me
my school's lighting programmer but same concept
Bruhhhhhhhh
change speed to x1.5 it helps
no problem scott
very informative video really helps having started working in local arts centre that does theatre of all sorts and now learning how to use this same board it's great
This is so complete, well written, well, narrated, etc.. Is this from the company? It should be. I hope you got well paid; just so professional. Thank you.
what would happen for example if the first cue with a long duration turns a light up slowly and then finishes, but the second cue, which went off during the wait, has the light off in it?
Ah, the joys of watching a 2 hour video to learn how to run light effects for drama
Does this lights console have a compatible pc software integration from witch can programs at home ona laptop the lights sessions before show? If does please link to me 🙏
2:43:06 he knew we were up at 3 AM watching this
literally me
Best 2 and a half hours of my life
2 and three quarters*
Can we renumbered cues ?
you can move that cue with copy copy
Can you use a track ball for x y for moving heads I am only part way into this video so you may talk about this.
Anyone else here for mr. J's teck theater class.
me XD
i am
lmao me
Where can I find it
Does anyone know the person who made this video, I need to know who did this
If I hadn't seen this video, I would be so frustrated I would start CRION
I see what you did there
I'm here because we normally use GrandMa boards but we have a backup ion that gets used every once and a while and it's been so long, I forgot a lot of functions/features 😬
Herebto freshin up my knowledge. But couldnt help notice this video looks like it was made in the 90s
This is so dry but so concise, I love it... anyone have some ritalin?
I got a bit of dextroamphetamine, that should do it.
WOOOOOOOOOT I FINISHED
If I said this wasn't the best thing ever I'd be LION
58:00 cue
Good call referring to the Stage Manager as a "she," should be the default in this case. ;)
Why though?
I used one of these in a theater production, and it blue screened halfway through 😂
i have never had that happen thats terrifying

LOOOOVE the ion
Dreamlife Films I know right!!!!! It's AMAZING
YASS The Ion /is Briliant
Now I can program lights with even TrION
1:06:51
You would not believe your eyes if ten mill-ION fireflies programed your light board as you fell asleep
Hahahahahhahaha best comment on here lmao I chopped and screwed this song before lmao

SPOILER WARNING: He talks about Blind Mode a little after the halfway mark
