Things that you should try not to do

  • Flick the Dead blackout switch: zero88 desks are known for these to get stuck occassionally - hope it doesn't happen in DBO...
  • Slam Lights on without telling presenters: this stops them groaning...



Things to think about

  • The Selecon floods (chunky, with one side bigger than the other than the other) are designed to light walls, the evenness is good from about a meter from the wall, the larger side of the reflector should be at the bottom.
  • Colour temp: As lights get dimmer, the go orangey (lower CT). Mixing color temps looks odd. We Have some Colour temp filters in the grey cupboard. Warm - low CT is better for talk shows, quizzes etc. Cold - Good for news type things, adds a "corporate look".
  • Colour filters: we have lots.
  • Fresnels. Currently, everything thats not a flood, is a Fresnel. Beam is round, soft edged, and cab be adjusted via the knobs on the bottom, or, on the pole-op ones, front left knob.
  • Lamp types: Everything is Tungsten as of 11/10/2009
