i need some help.

here @calvaryhanford i have a wonderfully varied job. sometimes i’m on a computer, sometimes i’m on a phone, sometimes i’m on an errand, sometimes i’m on a ladder (though i try to be on a ladder as little as possible…).

i’m very glad for this variety, however many times my ‘expertise’ does not match up to specific tasks.

lighting is a good example of this.

i don’t know anything about lighting. however, i would like to do some minor improvements in our stage-lighting setup.

so here’s the deal:

some of you know some things about stage lighting…what works, what doesn’t, where to get some decent parnels & fresnels* and how to color a stage so that everyone doesn’t look like a ghost on the video feed.

i would guess that some of you even fill this role at your churches to some degree or another.

that’s where you come in. i need you to give me some tips. whether it’s a website, a retailer that you trust, or especially little bits of information on what has worked for you, i need it.

give me an education in the comments or you can directly email me here.

*yep. after nearly 5 years of working here i have learned the names of 2 types of stage lights. that is the extent of my stage-lighting knowledge.
