Children’s Glow Party

This week we were at South Hill Village Hall in Golberdon, for a Children’s Glow party. We had lots of Brodies friends in to celebrate her 6th birthday party.

Everyone looked amazing with their UV face paint, and glow sticks. Our UV cannon really did a great job!

Sound

TO BE UPDATED:

Lighting control

One of my favourite programs to use for lighting. Control has to be QLC+. This DMX control software is packed with features and I have used it on lots of shows now and I am still finding new features along the way.

With QLC+ you have the ability to run small show with only a few fixtures to massive show with multiple universes. As will all DMX control software there is a learning curve as all of these programs work a little differently, but the program is broken down in to simple pages for the basic functions such as individual tabs for fixtures, simple desk, inputs & outputs, and the the best most useful page is the virtual console page.

This visual console page is completely customizable to your needs, and all functions, scenes, etc. can be control from here. And as an added bonus the virtual console is available over http, put simply this means you can control your show away from you desk on another computer, phone or tablet.

As well as the http gui control you can also control the software via midi, osc, or other standalone hardware and software via the input/output tab.

QLC+ has a good userbase, with a forum and lots of videos on YouTube to help you get started. The online help pages are also a great way to get started.

And This software is free, it has to be the best free software for DMX, and probably better than a lot of the paid options.

At the moment I am using Version 4 which is the most stable version of the software, which can be download from: https://qlcplus.org/download

and the user manual is here:

Jump start pack

GREPRO Jump Starter Power Pack

I bought this handy little jump start pack a few months ago, when my van was having trouble starting and since I bought it, it has not seen any use. That is until today when I went to start our lawnmower.

As soon as it was connected, to the little mower it started on the first attempt, success!!

Later that day, this jump start pack was put in to use again this time on a friend’s car, that had it’s lights left on. This time the pack was left on a little longer and the car came to life after the second attempt. So in short I recommend this jump start pack, you never know when it will be needed.

I bought mine from Amazon when it was on offer. And today it is on offer again at the price of £56.99 which is 43% off the regular price. Link here
