This show was programmed shortly after Starlite Productions took an order of 48 Martin MAC101 LED moving heads for rental stock. These fixtures are awesome - super fast (but, as this video shows, not as fast as the visualizer in my head) and incredibly bright for their size. You can daisy chain up to 10 of them with Powercon link cables and you can put up to 22 on a single 20 amp circuit. Talk about power-saving!

The show was programmed on a GrandMA Light and all of the timing was done with an external timecode sync with the MA's timecode learn capability. I did not have extensive time to program or to timecode so the show is not as good as some of my others - but for what I did (a couple nights of programming at home and bits and pieces of two days in the shop), I think it turned out pretty well. The ending isn't as strong as I wanted it to be due to tracking issues that I had a hard time fixing. I learned my lessons, though, and know how to correct them in the future!

Music is buy the awesome guys of Manic Bloom (www.manicbloom.com). Check these guys out - their music is really good. I've been a fan of theirs for about as long as they've had a good internet presence.

Rig: 48x Martin MAC101, 11x Martin MAC700 Profile
Control: GrandMA Light

Rig was constructed on 4x 11' (10' + cornerblock) verticals of truss on 125# bases with 2' and 6' pipes all over the place. The top four MAC700s were hung on the demo truss. The MAC700s were not used as much because this is a show to showcase the MAC101s. Show programmed for the Martin Lighting demo held at Starlite Productions.
