TV Lighting Programmer teaches students to understand how to program a lighting console for television shows and feature films. The class breaks the subject into a manageable progression of skills, starting with the first day where we explore the basic tools and skill requirements for a lighting programmer. Day two is a hands-on use of the skills we learned in the beginning class that culminates with a full final exam putting the students in to a real life situation of programming lights on set.

• Determining channel vs. DMX

• How to create architecture and structure to lay out the DMX, channels, and IP address of your lighting rig

• How to organize your show file, so that you will have ease of programming during the shooting days

• How to organize the various lighting console layouts, again to have ease and speed of programming during shooting days

• Helping prepare students for the reality of shooting on set vs. the safer space of training in the classroom.
