Before the days shows we do a routine check of all the lighting and either repair in situ, or swap out any faulty lights for repair in our workshop area.
We also power-up and test any FX equipment we use, like smoke machines.

Did you know that the polycarbonate colour filter gels are excellent for recording analogue audio onto as if they were "Flexi-discs"? I have tried several times to "cut" some on my homemade record lathe & it's easier than one would think, except they do require an extremely flat (glass) surface under them.
Hello Clive, I'm in Wellington, New Zealand, and we are about to host THE Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo later this month. I think it's the third time it has been here? and is extremely popular. I see you here in this video in control of the lighting setup. Gave me a big smile. Will you be coming over, or is the set up handled by local New Zealand crew?
Hi there, are the moving heads weatherproof? Cheers
One of my regrets (there's a few) – I used to take my mum up to see the tattoo, but I didn't stay. I'd drop her off and then just pick her up at the end. I could be sure she was never lonely, because she would always make a new friend.I wish I had that gift. I feel pleased that she was in safe hands. Sorry if I'm a bit maudlin, but I do miss my mum. If I do go myself in the end, then I'm the guy with tears.
Just a little question clive, can i convert my old halogen projector disco light bulbs with led bulbs? Ta
It's interesting to see the kind of work you do and all the different projects you do.
that's the edinburgh castle. isn't it ?
I love those Best/Bad Boy followspots.
That's so cool, can you make a vlog when the smoke machine does go on?
Hey Clive, this is really interesting – last time I was in Edinburgh I saw them constructing these massive scaffolds and wondered what the heck they'd be for as they didn't seem to be for any building construction, I guess it all makes sense now!
Also, any chance of blagging a pass to the light show for me and my missus this weekend? Struggling for date ideas and if you don't ask you'll never know!
There needs to be a height warning there, felt a sudden sense of panic when I saw that long drop (I'm not good with heights!!)… :S
