They say action is the antidote for anxiety. That’s why we were so excited when we met @jacksonfranklinforcongress . Instantly, we recognized that he is the leader that matches the moment we are in right now. If you live in Indiana’s fifth district and like what you hear, head over to Jackson’s profile to get involved or donate to his campaign. #peopleoverprofits Director: @michaelabel289 Director of Photography: @josiah_duncan 1st A/C: @jordanviehe Gaffer: @eiseleelectric Editor/Colorist/Motion Graphics: @connerjones Music: @michaelabel289 and @kaichuuuuuu Location Sound: @malakaibisel Graphic Design: @ronlewhorn BTS: jamesdgilmartin

@michaelabel289 used Blackout to program 45 Infinibars for NFL Draft content day. Video from the wall fed into MadMapper, which generated RGB values for each pixel and sent them to Blackout through a Cerise 4U. The result? Synchronized lighting across all fixtures that matched the video playback. Whether you’re new to Blackout or a seasoned programmer, the platform scales to handle everything from small setups to major events. Want to see how Blackout handles pixel mapping and media server integration? Check out our tutorials at [blackout-app.com](/) #blackoutapp #lightingconsole #lightingprogrammer

We’re honored to share that She Is More Than is featured in the docuseries “The Religion Business.” @religionbusiness The film explores important questions about faith, integrity, and how resources are stewarded within religious organizations. These conversations matter, not because faith is broken, but because it deserves transparency, accountability, and a continued commitment to the people it is meant to serve. At She Is More Than, we believe the mission must always come first. As a grassroots organization, our focus remains on serving survivors of human trafficking and the communities around them. If this topic matters to you, we encourage you to watch the documentary and join the conversation. The Religion Business
Now streaming on Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube.

Live mixing pixel mapped lights for the 2026 NFL Draft media day! Video from the wall getting piped into @mad_mapper , sending RGB data to @blackoutlightingconsole , where I’m able to mix the RGB with CCT white light and control the other fixtures.
