& MagicQ enjoyer
Hiya! I am a teenager who likes making things with light. I got into lighting when I saw someone press one button and turn an entire stage gold, and I wanted that button. Turns out the button is an entire software. Whatever. I've got it. I use ChamSys MagicQ because it is powerful and, importantly, very cheap. I own a magic dmx USB adapter, a few moving heads, some dodgy cheap pars and some led battons - free gear is very much welcomed (I can fix stuff - sometimes).
- MagicQ programming (cue stacks, palettes, macros, timecodes, and occasional crashouts)
- Moving heads, beams, and teaching them a little dance
- DMX, Art-Net, sACN — the plumbing that makes light work (usually - only just started learning about this stuff)
- Lighting musicals, school shows, my bedroom, and, yes, your neighbor's driveway if they ask nicely
The plan
Somehow win a £30,000 MagicQ deskBeg for a free onedo the same but with ROBE lightsdo the same but with more enthusiasm
