The Stage is Built! Let’s Do a Show - MIA Episode 3
Ғылым және технология
In this final episode, we'll be on-site finishing the stage build for MIA Festival in Shanghai. We face some interesting problems as our production schedule gets impacted by forces out of our control. Join me as we troubleshoot issues with fixtures, work with guest LDs, and operate the show.
Due to a few editing errors, I have uploaded a new version of this video if you would like to see the final scene and not a blank screen :) vimeo.com/356107430

You need a laser pointer with a visible beam. Would help with communication when pointing out things that are far out of reach or at a distance.

@yaa moirangcha I would say a decent quality green laser as the beam will go further and be fairly visible. Definitely something of decent quality because the one I got died. You could use red but it doesn't show up quite as well or go quite as far. After all green is usually used for pointing out Stars and driving airplanes crazy.

Good job!!
So your job is one people dream of having but then have nightmares about. It is filled with the most amazing scenes and also the highest anxiety!! But man I truly can appreciate what you do after watching this series. Thank You For Sharing Your Journey Brother it was truly an amazing art to watch.
So sweet to get an inside look on what being an LD is like at this level! Thanks for the content, Bro!
Can this be classed as a true Christian Jackson vlog even though there was no pizza? 🤔😂

Wow, it’s fascinating to see behind the scenes of such large projects, thanks for sharing
Wow that stage is wild! Nice to see the conclusion of this series, they were all great to watch. Thanks for all the interesting videos 🙂
27:07 seeing all that kit under the stage was incredible! Thanks so much for this vid!
This is a fantastic stage! Congratulations on a successful build and show. I am absolutely not surprised you ran a rig this big.
Whoa, Rocca is actually born in the same city I was (Curitiba, Brazil). Lots of LDs and DJs from Brazil actually came from here or live/lived here. Its very cool to see that the art we do connect more people that we cant even think of!
I have been with you for awhile. Its really awesome to see how you have grown!!! In the begining, you taught me how to diagnose and fix fixture problems, now your running huge festivals!!! All i can say is AWESOME! Keep on Keeping on my friend!!!!
Looks amazing! I've been doing lighting for a theatre group and it's really cool to see where things could one day lead. I've jumped in the deep end with virtually no experience and am pretty proud of what I've done so far in such a short time. Way more fun than I expected.
I was out in Shanghai a couple of years back doing sound/lighting, fascinating place! The view from the top of the Bund tower is immense...!! It's also great fun working out technical problems with local people, you always get there in the end yes, somehow!! Great video!
Brilliant love your work👍👍👍👌
"insurance policy" i hope it had nothing to do with ensuring you were going to get paid
U’ve done a great job man! I’m always amazed with your content! 👍👍👍👍👍
AMAZING show great video

Awesome job on the lights! 25:50 very cool.

I might be able to build/create a big stage where i am at, like in my big outdoor property and stuff like that. Not a huge massive stage or a medium size. A small size stage that can probably fit like 2 up hanging ' Short ' Line-Arrays speakers and also some DMX Lights and also my DJ Set. I can't really explain or think of it all...
Damn that is a beautiful stage
amazing content! congrats!
how tired u was while cutting this vid? some parts are twice :D
Super entertaining series!
It’s finally here!
Dude these blogs are everything !!!
Great insight into all the troubleshooting, really appreciate it ^^
Its a big stage Christian. Following you man
Love your Videos! Keep it up! Greetings from Germany
Looks like a fun job.
Hey man, excellent video, fascinating stuff.
So nice
allright ;) looking forward to it :)

Wow, I am a small time DJ in Australia just going through some decisions around DMX programming hardware and software options..... Your world is next level times 1000+!! Thanks for the walkthrough of your setup days.... Very inspiring.... if I was not so old LOL!
Hi Christian! Big fan of your videos where I do get to learn a lot of MA2 stuff. One thing I'm not getting any smarter with is using wings. I see several operators and people use wing just by using /wings=2 or similar to create pretty cool symmetrical effects. Whenever I try that the wing spreads out across multiple LX's or when I (for example) add fixture 1 thru 12 (spots) and fixture 13 thru 24 (washes) to an effect where the washes are placed in between the spots where 1 is most left and 12 is most right... The wing will ofcourse start off at fixture 1 and 24... I'd love to see a detailed video about this stuff and maybe some more cool, easy, handy effect related stuff. 👍 You're a legend.. Keep up!
This looks way fun. Do you have a vlog describing like, how you got where you are today in your career?
I actually bought 3 fog fury Jett pros due to this video, I love them soooo much. They are such an amazing effect!
Nice vlog Christian! Keep up the good work! 🔥

Yeah that was rather unfortunate
Not sure how I got to this video, but I found it very intertaining and informative.
wicked video
We need more of this videos :(
yeah thats basically how the problems at all of our events a school look like. no just kidding we have problems like getting the equipment to late from the rental company or having not enough time to set it all up cause we're getting bigger and bigger with our setups. last time we went with 12 lacoustics kara (2x5 main rigging, 2x1 front fill), 4 KS28, 2 SB18 (used as x-over in rigging) and 6 x12 for monitoring. For light stuff we went with 12 JB Lighting P7, 8 Robe Spiider, 4 JB P18, 8 SGM Q-7W, 12 ClayPaky ShowBatten100, 16 TourLED 42cm and a GrandMA 2 Light. We had one day for all of the setup. The event was on the next day but we needed the time for the soundcheck with the bands and all the other stuff. Even though it was very stressful, we managed to finish in time and it was a heck of a lot fun. love your videos:)))))
Those gobo projections are badass
I've just seen this trilogy six months delayed, I have to take my hat off to you for your patience in such an environment! Well done on the main stage design, very nice, I did like the second stage more as an innovative design though. Keep up the good work! Editor - yes, and less wobbly bodycam...
Absolutely love that you do these vids, hyped to see the Zomboy vlogs
21:55 I think this is an absolute universal truth right there. Also you sitting along through the morning.
I want more Haze. MORE HAZEEEEEEE!

Nice light design:)
Muy bien Amigo.
Yes!
amazing stuff, and dont let a few mistakes bring down your confidence, you dont make them often and i like your editing style, the only reason id agree with you getting an editor is if the time spent is too exhausting for you, but if not, keep doing it yourself, your great!
Hehe, all about the out. Classic!
WOW!
Nice bro
Beeeeeen waiting for this vid THANKS lol
22:02 that is so dope man
It’s so interesting to see how people trouble shoot the lights before the show! And it’s shocking that this amount of problem will happen.
I sense some tension in this show...
was wating so long for the next episode
Wow, your is mixing in good
LD and production work is the best stuff to do

Christian Jackson last fest I worked with my crew was northern nights and fuck my buddies couldn’t Tec lights till the day of show , such a short pull off but as you said , shows always come together last min basically haha
You are both Patient and Meticulous , while being completely understanding and Calm of the reality of your situation. This is why you are likely a "Go to" name/LD in your industry.
23:55 - had me laughing! 🤣
lol that new text layer :D
This kinda makes me want to try to get into event technician again but I think my current goal, paramedic, is the way to go for me. 😁 But seeing this really makes my heart scream a bit 😣
I have no idea what you're talking about but cooooooool
Love to see a gear list 😜

Hello Crisss Es genial todo tu trabajo Me encantaría aprender muvhas mas de ti saludos desde MÉXICO 🇮🇹
Love the D5 BS movers. They're not an Elation knock off in my opinion. UK based company Equinox are coming out with a similar unit.
10:37 just burning the stage down with some MHs 🤣
I see a cristian jakson upload i i click simple as that i wish there was more content on behind the scenes of lds😀😀
FINALLY!!!!!!!!
It reminds me of my work, I wish I could understand all the videos you share , love from Vietnam , I’m lighting too , but I am a supporter 😅 , I want to learn more from you
Am I the only one that comes back now and then to watch these again?
This is so fucking dope !
The this show lighting tech stuff (happily) means nothing to me, but its still fascinating and very watchable, great tech vlog.

Hi im interested in stage lighting. By anychance will you come to Australia??? Great video!
@11:29 the strips blue and green have different speeds somehow, it's in the light blue chase, but when it turns off it goes dark blue for one or two pixels at the end of the chase. Ah good old china fixtures. This and that delay on some of the moving heads you talk about later is why I can't deal with china lights.
Just a big dumb audio guy here. I'm amazed at your composure when shit hits the fan. Great moves keep it up.
Yesssssss
there was not just a strap there, there was also a clamp, on the other side of the truss :) or at least, it looked like that
I wish I had this job
