thanks!!!

I love your videos. As others have said, they are very inspiring. I used to DJ at an after hours club in Nashville and prior to being given a chance to do my own set alone, I volunteered to do the lights. That ended up progressing to having my own night each weekend. Most of the time, I ended up getting someone else to DJ so that I could operate the lights! Since then, I've worked in corporate America, was laid off after a 10 year career in 2012. I started a travel agency which morphed into a hybrid travel and vacation rental agency. For the most part, I've managed to satisfy my never ending lighting curiosity by implementing lights in the design of our vacation rental properties wherever possible. Unfortunately, I can only justify so much that way! I've had fun doing all that but after watching many of your videos, I realize that I had forgotten what it feels like to really LOVE what I do. - so much so that it doesn't feel like work at all. Your videos have brought back an excitement I haven't felt in years. Nothing in the world excites me as much this type of lighting design and use. Thank you.

I enjoy when you explain your theory and thinking before/during a show! Thanks for these 😇

Great video. You´re aiming absolutely in the right direction. Expressing feelings and creating moods is the essential part of lighting but is often left behind the technical aspect. For that reason I really appreciate this video and hope to see more in the future!

Loving your work man. It's hard to find good LD content to watch, but these are always awesome

Years ago I used to watch your DJ tutorials and today I just randomly checked your channel out. I was front row at this show! Haha what a coincidence.

Every video I see that you post makes me want to do this that much more. Watching you tour is amazing man.

I like the format. Keep it up.

You're doing a great job at inspiring me to one day work as a lighting guy, great commentary, great quality of the videos, great music! Keep it up!

Damn, missed the Echostage show.. I would have loved to see your work in person....next time you're in DC! You should have a tour schedule somewhere, for the fans ya know.

This was a great show! Thank you for everything! You guys are welcome back to D.C. anytime!

Hey, I just found your channel, and as someone who has a lot of interest in lighting, this is definitely one of my new favorite channels on youtube!

Christian. your gig vlogs. amazing. I now am building my reputation as a lighting designer using the same energy techniques you use. keep up with the awesome work

I like how you're willing to explain sequencing especially when related to certain fixtures, instead of just bigging yourself up, saying "it's all about networking" and calling it a day

I LOVED THIS TYPE OF VIDEO KEEP DOING THIS LOVING WHAT IS COMING OUT ON THIS CHANNEL

awesome video, I love what you are doing and it realy motivats me to keep going and keep lighting. Thank's :D

The looks you're doing feel so spot on in terms of mood and energy - and I'm just seeing the 2D video version of it :) Also so many tracks in that set that send me back so many years! Holy shit - would have given a lot to see that classics set :)

Love the format. Yet another video that made me go "holy shit that's awesome". :)

I prefer that kind of videos!! great content man!

I really like this format!

I really like your direction with this channel. This is my world\m/

I will never doing VJ'ing... but man, I love the power behind the music and light that makes an event spectacular!!! And it is also very intressting!

Thank you very much great video, would love more lighting design stuff.

you are my biggest inspiration to become a lighting designer! it would be an honor to meet you someday!

Awesome work!

very good video, i enjoyed it like all the others

Hye man, I've kinda been pursuing lights for the past 4ish years and i heard about you and MA through a friend of mine. Just wanted to let you know you make me wanna be a better light and sound tech/designer and operator. Also your really good at what you do.

Echostage WOOOOO

Very cool dude!!!

Totally remember that Trance Energy video. I gotta say thats sorta what got me into it as well. Very jealous you get to light up my favorite style of music. Hopefully meet you someday in Seattle with Erik.

yeah come say hi if you are ever in town!

Great video! I remember when they came to DC.. I was trying to shoot for them but couldn't get any responses back. Hopefully I can next time!

Hey here with no views. Learnt so much from your channel. Thanks

Really nice video man big fan of your stuff! Keep it up! :D +1 like

First off, thanks for doing this videos at all, so many LDs want to keep how they go about their jobs as some sort of giant secret. I do have a question though, what do you have to say to someone who is a beginning programmer, someone who can patch, build pallettes and busk, but wants to do really push his skill sets and build looks as complex and interesting as yours?

Keep going with these vids! I have one question though, what would be your "dream setup". Which fixtures would you choose? How would it look like, etc, etc?

Great tips Christian! How did the rest of your tour go with you also running video?

I loved the format. The only thing that wouldn't go a miss is a camera from the side on your desk.

hey Christian, I work for a small to mid size lighting company as a lighting operator. I really enjoy your videos. the stile of this one is great! I also liked your console setup video a lot.

Dude, just started watching your channel, and I love it. I've always been fascinated by the way you guys work. In an unpredictable DJ set, how do you do the lights? Do you make decisions live? or is everything pre programmed? Thanks :)

love it

suupeer good! more pls

really cool video again 👌

Agreed! I'd like to see more of this commentary-style.

First off I love this style of video. You are very good at explaining things and I learned a lot just from this short video. Question. You said that you predict what the DJ is going to do, and obviously you get it wrong sometimes. What do you do when you screw up? Just keep going like nothing happens? Correct for it?

Immediately, yet smoothly correct

I miss this so much. Trying to get back into it but have no idea how to get to the EDM scene without working a night club.

Thanks!

hey christian, i do lighting at an event with 4 movers and 4 LED's on the ground and im having trouble trying to come up with cool movements and just an original show, do you have any tips for trying to do a show with not many lights btw we are using a hog 600 so yeh might not be able to do all the stuff you show but we are planning to use dot 2 with it. you have helped me heaps in the past. thx

Christian habe you checked out Rampage2017 footage yet? i'd say that this is the Most impressive lighting ever

I totally didn't see this vlog 3 days ago :P

i just bought myself an ma1 micro. acording to you what are the greatest setbacks to ma1 when you compare it to ma2?

Hey...Echostage! That's my local venue :D wasn't able to attend this show though. Do you also run lasers or is there a separate guy each for lasers, videos, and lights?

Hello Christian i recently have been watching your videos and i am in awe. I have loved EDM since i was 9 and im going to EDC for the first time next year and this seems like a really good career. But, i was wondering if you had any tips on how to get started in this industry to give me a bit of knowledge. Thank you and keep up the good work!!!!

Chris: I really think I could get used to this lifestyle. This is "suite." Pun intended? lol

how do u convert mp4s in dxv for resolume? and how do u have your showfile able to be ready almost without changes for every show I don't get how u can have in the patchlist the fixtures beams before u know which fixture is on the stage. and how are u able to not change groups and effects for the lamps etc because u need to select lamps before u put effects on them

I go to Echostage all the time, and us fans of Echostage always respect the amazing production we have at Echo! I remember when they only had a couple lasers and couple LED panels, now it's ridiculous!!! My question to you is if other VJs ever talk about Echostage, just curious haha.

thank you for the voice over! really interesting! I have a stupid question for you. do you know what set he is going to play each night or are you just free styling it in realtime with the show?

What are you using to make the video and are the videos written into your que's? Because if your video is going one way and the dj goes the other you got to follow the bouncin' dj right?

Can i do that to church events??

Hi

i wish to be like you

What lasers are those?!
