Dynamic Concert Lighting Technician -- 2
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m staging a live concert for an audience of roughly 500-2,000 people and want the lighting to feel every bit as energetic as the music. The show calls for advanced, moving-light effects rather than simple color washes, so I need someone who can design, program, and run a full cue-based show on site.
Your roles will include:
1. Inspecting and preparing loads to be moved, estimating size, shape, weight, and determining the type of equipment needed.
2. Setting up, maintaining, and dismantling light fixtures, lighting control devices, and associated electrical and rigging equipment used for photography, television, film, video, and live productions.
Setting up, aligning, leveling, and anchoring heavy equipment machinery, including erecting cranes, mobile booms, or temporary structures like scaffolding.
3. Rigging, programming, monitoring, repairing, and operating lighting equipment to enhance events and performances, including loading in equipment, organizing cables, hanging lights (which may involve climbing), and focusing fixtures.
4. Preparing and operating the lighting system for productions, creating lighting effects based on designs from the Lighting Designer, and using manual or computer-controlled systems during shows.
5. Assessing the safety of wiring and equipment setups to prevent risks like fire or electrical shock, and keeping all lighting gear in good, safe working condition.
6. Disassembling and storing equipment after performances, and handling post-production tasks like installing temporary electrical power systems.
7. Dismantling and storing rigging equipment after use, reporting safety issues, and adhering to occupational health and safety procedures.
Deliverables:
• Lighting plot and fixture list tailored to the venue
• Pre-programmed show file with all cues labeled
• On-site setup guidance plus focus and addressing
• Live operation for rehearsal and the full performance
If you’re comfortable wrangling moving lights in a mid-size room and can hand me a show that looks arena-ready, let’s talk details and dates.
