GLU 2010 is coming. The Bargeheights team is working on a production design (lighting, scenic and video) for an upcoming city-wide youth gathering.  @CG___ has been hard at work cranking out drawings of the stage plot.

Our goal is to create a high impact, intense visual landscape on a modest budget. Everything must ground stack, and we’re not bringing in a power distro….the same type of design challenges we all face in lighting and visuals for worship.

We’ll be using a Bargeheights 37.5 LED screen for some unique visuals, making good use of the transparent nature of loose pixel led screens. To light the band, we’re planning to use a mix of moving head and fixed LEDs along with our favorite BAR-252′s for uplighting backline. We’re also beta testing some brand new Bargeheights LED moving head washes! As a grand experiment, we’ll be running the whole show from ChamSys MagicQ and a USB dongle. Yup. Free software. No fancy chain motors and a lighting rig that runs on a handful of 15amp outlets. Sound familiar?

Here’s a preview:

If you’re a youth leader anywhere near Lexington, KY, you HAVE to get to this city-wide conference. It will be incredible!
