Video, Lighting & Drum Technician
7Th Heaven
Over the almost 4 years I worked with this band, I had 4 titles. I started as a general AV technician, helping to get equipment setup for the band. This was mostly basic work, moving equipment on or off stage, setting up PA systems and so on. Next I started to work with our drum technician. I would setup and sound check the drums as well as keep an eye on our drummer. With this I occasionally helped or stood in for our guitar tech, tuning or sound checking those instruments as well. Eventually I moved to assisting our lighting director as the setup grew in size. I would help him set up a variety of equipment from moving head lights and LEDs to lasers. This would include running power and wiring via DMX. I occasionally ran lighting whenever he needed me to cover for him. Finally I took over running our video walls. This involves setting them up and playing back our content. All of our content went in time with the performance, so I would need to focus on making sure it started and stayed in time. I also created content for some of the songs the band performed.The band performed in a variety of places, from small bars to large festivals and even on television.
