Coachella Part 2 - Patreon Preview

Christian Jackson post Coachella Part 2 - Patreon Preview from patreon

Hey Everyone,

Just in the final steps of putting out part 2, it is really close to being done but I wanted to get this version out to everyone to review and dummy-check it for me and make sure I didn't make any massive errors and make sure that the video makes sense continuity wise.

It's always nice to have a f...

Coachella Return Vlog Part 1

Christian Jackson post Coachella Return Vlog Part 1 from patreon

Hey everyone,

First of all, thanks for your patience in my absence from YouTube, Patreon, and the internet in general.  I will be posting an update about why/how that all happened and a plan for a path forward soon, but I didn't want to "return" with a lame-o explanation video about why I've been gone. So, that is...

It’s all come down to this

Christian Jackson post It’s all come down to this from patreon

Just finished up with our rehearsals in Las Vegas. Its been a nonstop battle getting my two new shows out on the road. A few weeks working on the new G Jones festival show as well as almost a whole month getting this all new Louis The Child Euphoria tour rig out the door with all new programming. I can’t post too much until...

First all-nighter in almost a year. Nature is healing.

Christian Jackson post First all-nighter in almost a year. Nature is healing. from patreon

Very excited that I've recently added a couple of new artists to my workload. I've spent the last week and a half figuring out the best way to integrate midi notes into a "timecode" show through ableton for G Jones without being able to use any SMPTE or MTC. Finally got it figured out and I thought I'd show you the basics. It...

Why I am buying an MA3 - Patreon Preview Video

Christian Jackson post Why I am buying an MA3 - Patreon Preview Video from patreon

Well it's 95% official, I'm just waiting on a few final pieces of the puzzle to come together, but today was delivery day for the replacement console for the compact XT that had a hardware issue. ACT sent me a Light as a replacement, and if all goes well in the next couple of weeks, this will be the unit I buy.

Some fun with a Capture Concept

Sneak peak at one of the tour package concepts I’m working on this week for a new artist I’ll be working with next year. Two automated segments of GT with dartz top and bottom, line of x4 bars, and of course a jarag 😎. The capture rotator and mover features allow for a ton of cool configurations.

Don't worry... vlog on the way from this weekend as well. Just got back home from Mexico last night - feels like a lot of people had shows this weekend and I'm so happy to see it. We had daytime and nighttime sets for this show, but really who thought smoke bombs were a good idea here??

Started off Saturday morning at 4am by flying out to New Jersey to do a gig on an MQ500M (and hanging pin spots... lol), then decided to book my return flight later in the day today so I could stop by ACT Lighting and check out their USA headquarters. Got to hang with the software support crew and talk MA3 features. All that ...

Hey everyone,


Here is a preview of a new video I'll be putting out on youtube this week. Just a quick play about with the C800 and some of the new Robe gear including Forte, T2, and Esprite FS. Keep in mind any numbers in this test should not be taken as a way to compare fixtures since these are highly unscientific ...

Live Stream Hangout Update

Hey Everyone,

I'm so sorry that the stream did not happen today as it was scheduled in the google drive folder. I simply put the wrong date for the hangout/work stream in my personal calendar and was prepared to do it next week on the 26th, not today. Totally my mistake. I'll dig through some archives and find some old...

My new tool for testing the performance of new lighting instruments

Christian Jackson post My new tool for testing the performance of new lighting instruments  from patreon

I always refrained from doing more reviews and demos of lighting fixtures since I didn’t have an objective way to measure their performance numbers. That changes today! I’ve wanted one of these for a while but never went through with it, but this is going to be SO useful. Now let’s see who will let me borrow a Forte, Hu...

Over the next few days I'll be making some changes to the structure of Patreon so I can put out more content. We'll be going back to monthly private streams and hang outs.

Really thankful that I’ve been able to fill in my schedule with gigs at a local studio shooting corporate videos. Before COVID, I maybe only did 2-3 corporate gigs a year and it’s been a great learning process to get more hands on with lighting for cameras instead of “atomics go brr”
