Our photographer wanted to light up the crowd during the set at a few times that aren’t in the pre-program show and sometimes I may not be able to get it perfectly in time with when he needs the crowd to be lit up. So just went ahead and gave him wireless control of the lighting rig from his cell phone anywhere in the arena.
Now he can use the DMX stage lights wirelessly from his phone to light up the crowd whenever he wants.
Tapping in @bellsbrewery DMX lighting rig tonight. Sometimes you gotta improving. If you are looking to do automated lighting with your band holler at me!
This tour was an absolute blast. Every band’s touring party was awesome and hilarious. Can wait to do it again in the fall.
Huge shout out to @iprevailband and @threedaysgraceofficial crews for all the help on this run. Tons of memories and friends made.
Big thanks to @thewenzguy for getting us to all the shows safely.
I had more fun than I know what to do with. These shows with @tfp_devotion@iprevailband and @threedaysgraceofficial I have been an absolute blast.
I want to give a huge shout out to @evanstonepianorock for all of the help and assistance with the production for my first arena run. He was instrumental every night and making sure that our show went off without a hitch. And I can’t thank him enough for that.
Also shout out to @jeffmaker he was running an awesome show for I Prevail and it was fun to watch him and Evan’s productions on the same rig I was using. Super fun and really inspirational for things I’d like to do in the future.
Hopefully, I’ll see you guys out there in the fall.
We’re out here having a nice little loft day in Raleigh at the Lenovo center. We are playing here tomorrow so I’m just checking out what bad omens, bear tooth, and president have for their production. This is gonna be a pretty good show really excited to have a couple beers and hang out.
Every day we usually have loaders. These people are gonna grab the gear from our trailer and pull it into the arena. And then they will put it in a specified area that we have to set up our gear before it gets moved from that area to the stage for sound check.
Getting haze dialed in for @tfp_devotion show. A proper light show whether you’re in an arena or a club music venue is only as good as the room is filled with a proper amount of haze.
Haze machine placement is crucial and when you’re fighting big HVAC systems in these large arenas, it can be difficult to get the right amount of haze distribution across the stage.

Got tuned up by @rocdocchiro today in Cincinnati at Heritage bank Center. We had an awesome show with three days grace and I Prevail and they had the @rocdocchiro setup to tune up the bands and crew before and after the show. It was epic.
Today we are in Cincinnati and the arena does not have a high-quality espresso that your boy desires. So you know what we gotta do. We’re walk in 17 minutes in the downtown to get some of that nice spice.
Can’t sound to I am properly caffeinated with a high-quality espresso and 500 calories of half-and-half.
Time to go build this lighting floor package and get ready for tonight’s show.
Cameo appearances from @garethcalk@angelo._
Getting everything staged and ready for sound check at tonight's show at Fiserv Forum with Three Days Grace, I Previal, and Sleep theory. It's gonna be a fun one.
