So you've scored tickets to the big rock concert coming to the arena dj light or hot rock club in your town. Tickets cost a pretty penny for the major rock shows these days so you want to make sure you get the most bang for your buck and get the most awesome, most gnarly rock concert experience you can achieve. After all, you only live once... so, without further ado, here are the top ten things to do at a rock concert, according to me -- a highly trained rock concert professional and entusiast, Paul Diamond Blow.
Strip Lighting. Yet another kind of light is strip lights. Strip lights are quite different simply because they have got 3 light bulbs as opposed to just having 1 light bulb in these like the majority of lights. Strip lighting is helpful to fill colors for the syc, a white-colored backdrop. The most frequent colours used are blue,red and yellow. To make certain that method the lighting technician can also produce green, orange and violet through those colors. Strip lights are the only lights that are not directed at the stars and actresses. They're placed above the stage near the rear of it and tend to be targeted backwards towards the syc that usually will be the second to very last back drop. These lights are commonly installed at approximately 15 to 20 degrees angle.
The last most important advice is the use of an external flash. If you can get away with it, do not use a flash, as it robs the photo if the color you might get from stage light. Sometimes you have to if the subjects are too dark. But, if you must use an external flash, do NOT flash directly at the subjects. You will want to use a "bounce" of at least 80 degrees.This way you can capture the great color from china stage light while still illuminating the subject. At times you may not even use a flash. You can capture some very nice shadowing that really makes the photographs pop.
A beneficial alternative to think about is a light bar. These bars come in either UV light, or LED. The main reason these are beneficial is that they do not release heat in contrast to regular lights. Performers naturally get hot on stage, so to prevent extending the inevitable bar lights are a great alternative to take into account. Usually such bar lights could work in a variety of play modes including automatic, play, sound, and DMX. Included for simple set up are mounting brackets for either the ceiling or wall. Bar lights are simple for transportation and have a wonderful effect on your performance.
Alcohol, drug abuse and egos are the main reasons for bands to fail. Each band has to set their own rules by what is and what is not tolerable. Don't be afraid to protect the bands reputation by specifying limits when working.
The Moody Blues are another band that have been rocking for about 40 years. I am so grateful that I have seen them in concert. As good as the Moody Blues are in the recording studio (and on albums), they are a million times better in live concert.
