The class breaks the subject into a manageable progression of skills, starting with the basics of running DMX cables, tools required to troubleshooting, understanding the basic concepts of how DMX works, and using those skills so the Set Lighting Technician, Programmer, and CLT can work together to implement the complex tools of control and more effectively light the set. This course is a direct hands-on experience of learning the skills needed to be a lighting programmer on a film set and culminating in realistic live exercises.
