  • It's a public high school in Austin, TX. I graduated from Westlake.

  • It's a private high school....one tuition payed for the entire theatre

  • For all of you jealous technicians:

    I feel your pain. I really do. But keep in mind that 99.9% of these kids top out here. The vast majority of them will never use this kind of equipment again. At least not any time in the near future. Is that what you want? To top out in high school?

    The backwards learning curve is not a fun one -- going from this setup to trying to design with Century lekos that are older than your parents. Start in the trenches and work your way up.

  • Die Olle hat eine geile Stimme ;-)

  • is this in westlake california??

  • I HATE YOU!!!!!

    not in an actual hate kind of way, just an insanely jealous kind of way. i want your funding. give me your funding! my school does actually have one of the better lighting systems of the schools in my area, but still. i hate you. in a very friendly, respecting, insanely jealous kind of way.

  • For those asking: These were cues set to smpte time code on a Wholehog 3 console. On that console you could play a CD to produce audio and timecode. However, High End has not continued that feature. Today separate hardware that can generate Midi TC is necessary.

  • My light show

  • good, very good show

  • Nice

  • I find this video difficult to masturbate to

  • Dude... why is this so epic!?!?!?!

  • Im going to be honest here, Considering they are all moving lights...this is not that spectacular...nor is it anything new or original for lighting..

  • im trying 2 perusade my school to buy moving lights....I WANT THEM SOOOOO MUCH

  • @marquista96 Me too bro! We so need some!

  • WOW that is good

  • 5 Years and I've still yet to persuade my school to buy moving lights...I'll get them one day :)

  • I am Privileged to be a part of Westlake TEC

  • I am priveleged to be a part of Westlake TEC

  • damn.... my school has no moving lights what so ever... I'm trying to convince my school to get us 2 $250 scanners and a new controller and thats pushing it.

  • It took me three years to get 2 design spot 250s installed in my school.

  • I go here. This school is fuckin riduclous. they have this and a double field turfed for... practice and uhh whine about whuahhh we have cuts but... what about the double gym... and dance gym and second pe gym -_- what the fuck -_-

  • Never liked that board, more of a GrandMA person myself

  • This school has upgraded since then. Just google westlake technical entertainment crew

  • this is ridiculous for a high school... a couple or four moving heads maybe... but come onnn. why even go to college...

  • @N17771

    The school is in Austin Texas

  • that is some high tech equipnent

  • dudddeee my school cant even afford a new par can! and to change our rig we have to make dodgy as scaffolding, and we just pull on the bars to move around, also every now and then someone takes out a drama student!... ha!

  • @leow626569 same here but we just bought 4 st martin mac 250's and an pearl 2004 controller and 50 parcans with an 40 channels dimmer pack :D i love my school i am the only kid in my school that nows how it works :D :D :Di am gonna upload an video of how it looks like , in the next week :)

  • @leow626569 my school only has six par cans. the rest is dodgy frensels.... I ENVY THIS SCHOOL

  • what is the name of the song ? nice light show :D

  • My school also has a default with the building. We have 3 drop bars on stage and they don't drop. So I have to climb a ladder with the light up to the bars to hang, take down, and maintenance. It was also built poorly for the sound. It has so much electrical currents that disturbs the hanging mics.

  • We have well over a 150 stationary lights at our school but no moveing heads... although 3 of the 16 lights up at the catalk in the celing are burnt out and need new lamps but their was a design flaw when the school was bult and the bars are up and down rather then side to side makeing it extreamly dificlult to move or change the lamp on those lights... and then probibly 6 of the lights on the fly system above the stage are burnt out and need new lamps...

  • At my school I have Fernels and Lecos. And a strand lighting board series 300. It's a good board but for being tech. manager and Lighting engineer we deffinently need to upgrade the entire lighting system for future shows.

  • It's rather repeditive. Still rather good. I did a really great show after one of the people setting it up reset the controller. Gotta love doing stuff manually

  • @TheSKCProductions the light enginner for QLIMAX 2010 got paid 500 grand for 4 days

  • Our high school doesn't even have enough lighting to cover the whole stage during a play... fuck.

  • MGS music at 3:37 makes this ever more win. :P

  • The only lights we have are some fresnels controlled by an old zero88 console.

  • we get nothing in our music budget its bullshit lucky ppl

  • LOL MGS THEME IN THERE xD

  • you wana know what system i have

    its called fernels

    There friggen awsome you should get some

  • Comment removed

  • @TechTasticDJs I thinks you mean Fresnels LMFAO

  • @Bob101109 Whatever thats why i do lighting i usually dont have to spell stuff

  • That's some SUPER HIGH END stuff...

  • Eso es arte!

  • Maravilhoso!!

  • i wish i was still in that highschool, dope rave parties

  • what the hell is your tech budget!!!

  • @thomasbuonomano emmm, well, put it this way in the UK, we dont get one

  • @thomasbuonomano Probably pretty high. This is in West Lake Hills, a pretty upscale suburb of Austin. I have cousins who went to school there. Their mother was police chief. :)

  • @thomasbuonomano alot we just bought a 100,000 dollar piano and 4 new 9,000 dollar subs.. we also have at least 4 million dollars worth of video equipment that we use for broadcasting football. check us out whstec.com

  • @thomasbuonomano lets just say that we have alot of rich parents and donors at Westlake. Its crazy but hey when you have money to burn it might as well be on something entertaining. by the way im not one of those rich people.

  • @thomasbuonomano this year-almost 1.5 million.  All brought in from renting the theatre. We are almost completely self-sufficient from the district-we get 2 to 3 thousand from them a year. On top of this whole shebang, we also have a 6-camera HD setup for the football games with a production trailer-all run by kids.

  • @thomasbuonomano were rich.were white.were westlake

  • The best light show i ever seen! ^^

  • is this school in austin, tx

  • What are you studing?

    i want to be an lighting engineer and design things like this for the concerts of singers when i grow up and when i have to choose a career to study

  • @CharlyCarter10 you have to go to like university or tafe or if you live in america college or a school that ONLY teachers production :D

  • out of all the TEC light shows... i think this one is the best! great job! I wish my high school tech crew worked and had the stuff that Westlake does...

  • Comment removed

  • can someone name the songs in order?

  • alguien me puede decir como se llama la canción de la parte 2:33 ?.. gracias

  • Sure hog does a nice console but grand ma tramps all over it

  • I wish my high school had the money to blow on all those fixtures. fuck sakes. you knw what wud be impressive though. 2 min spots with a huge program. thatll test your programming skills. lol. I really wish I could have played with lights like that though back then.

  • Could i get a copy of the mix of the songs?

    That is seriously awesome,some bands don't have lights like that!!

  • wow pretty high tech for a school! how many cues was this in total? I bet it took ages to program lol

  • The only reason it is "awesome" Is because they have so many fixtures. This is very simple to do. Any lighting guy knows this. I'm also not a big fan of the wholehog. I love the jands vista. Even though hands made the wholehog at one time they made the vista 100x better. I do like that they have some clay packy. I would also consider some vari-lite 2500's and 3500's

  • This isnt even that hard all you have to do is used pre programmed macros and the effect library in the hog and create a pallette

  • @drumer3123 this is not by any means simple. The timing is near perfect.to the beat! i know he's using sempte. really look @ whats going and listen the music. This is all pre programmed over the course of a semester.

  • I am a professional lighting technician for 3 theatres and this is one of the best lighting shows I have seen! Although I do think you used the strobes a bit too much!

  • holy shit. i am a lighting designer/technician for my high school and i am so blown away!

  • @robbiee14 Thunderstruck ACDC

  • this is exactly what i do at my school

  • what song is this whats the second one called

  • @pinoykicks Thunderstruck ACDC

  • Ich wünscht ich hätt hauch sone GEILE Lichtanlage in meiner Schule!

  • Really awesome! It's the best lighting show i ever seen...

  • I love my high school! I'm a freshman and they opened us to all these wonderful things!! I can't believe they would let me do all this. I'm just a kid! I hanged lights, i'm doing the lighting board for the shows now, and it's really great! It gives students the opportunity to do something like this later in life!

  • Particle was in there

  • That was awesome, great job! :P

  • Holy Cra* That was AWSOME! 0_o

  • Yay for westlake! We just got a new renovation for that theater.  It. Is. AWESOME.

  • metal gear is part of it amazing

  • Great, show, my theatre doesn't have any moving fixtures, and not even that many fixtures to begin with. I wish our school could get that much funding for the arts

  • The song that Arron was looking for is called Siberian sleigh ride by the trans siberian orchestra

  • im just gonna take a wild guess and say that this is a performing arts school. Honestly i don't think any public school is endorsing the arts that much anymore.

  • Westlake is not a performing arts school. It's simply a very good public school.

  • @tmcoope294

    It is a public school but we are very fortunate in that our district is extremely supportive of the performing arts and of other activities besides sports (although I will admit that they get the most funding)

  • wow, if thats what your arts dept. looks like i would love to see the rest of your school!

  • My school yay

  • Nice lighting job man! But the crowd sucks.

  • this is wat i want to do when im older for a job

  • @cocoman2615 i already do it its really fun and if u get good enough and go to like big concerts and stuff u can get paid bout 50 grand an hour and im only 14 so im not up to that stage tho lol

  • what was the songs used at

    3:54 and at 4:03 ???

  • potc, rush and trans sibera orchestra?? awesome!! <3 <3 this is amazing great job!

  • 3:14 to 3:35 - guns n roses - welcome to the jungle

  • that was incredible!!! and the ending was brilliant =)

  • what is the song that starts with the blue and green lights

  • what is the song that starts with the blue and green lights

  • i don't even know how moving heads many my school has since there only set for musicals

  • what is the name of the song that starts out with the strobe lights?

  • wow. very good!!!

  • what is the name of this song

  • wow that was really good but our highschool has less lights but small stage so we only have 8 moving heads and 20 led parcans

  • How I wish I had this to play with...

    All we have is a Strand MX with a broken Grand Master and all 25 of our lights are on 8 of the 24 channels (because we only have 12 dimmers). :( x 1000000

  • wow . dont even get kit lyk this to play with at college .

    did you program using wysiwyg?

  • very nice!!

  • i wish my school had stuf like this. all we have are a few par cans and a dimmer board

  • my school has some pot lights on a dimmer switch !

  • @123scottsdj me 2

  • Wow... Please check out my clip about a light show in Germany. I am curious to your comments :-)

  • thats at a friggen highschool holy crap

  • Comment removed

  • @peacepunch101 that was a positive comment i mean thats a fantastic light show for a highschool read more carefully next time

  • @crazyguy726 ohh sorry never mind 

  • @crazyguy726 yeppers

  • I am the light operator at Toronot High Au and i'd love to have that at my school lol epic video would of cost millions.

  • Wow! Thats good! My school has no where near that standard of lighting. we just have 10 mac 250+, 10 mac 300s and a about 150 generic lights plus some colour scrollers.

  • you could get pretty close to that with the Macs which you have, a console with an mp3 timeline and some LED pars or wall washes !

  • @LightsSi Cool! I will have to try that out - I have some LED pars and Bars maybe Ill take them in some time.

  • Comment removed

  • unbelievable...greets from germany. very very big cinema...great!!!

  • Lol MAC900? Not an actual fixture right there :P

  • Not that impressive. to be honest. Does not take to much skill to program Mac900s to do effects like that, Just lots of time. Is this a demo of there lighting equipment or something for this School? Don't get me wrong its cool but still not really that impressive.

  • i would like to see you do better

  • @Sotzrem2007 MAC900 were do u find one of those?? would love to see 1

  • @phatmaster10 haha, agreed. it'd be nice to see a light that......doesn't exist? lmfao

  • wow! Amazing!

  • i love it!!

  • Its amazing what we can do with DMX

  • dude how many universes of DMX were you running on that show

  • so you are the man that wrote that program ?

    if yes than tell me how long did it took and was it live or preprogrammed ..?

  • @HeadMaster210588 It would be impossible to have effects like that live, there is a 99% chance it is preprogrammed.

  • thats the best videos i've seen on youtube !

  • hey man can you give me the plans of the lights :D

  • Soo Mutch Inspuration ! :)

  • so little spelling accuracy ! :)

  • lol MGS

  • i love to do this kind of stuff

  • it is a good show, but i'd like to see your patch sheets, distro loadings, hanging plots, etc ... the more important stuff, because anyone can learn how to program, but still, a good show

  • I agree man... So much work goes into shows like this, and 95% of it isn't even on the console...

  • exactly, i am basically the TD at my school (down under or Australia) and i spent weeks working out dimmer loads, distro loads, DMX adressing, hanging sheets, lucky for me though, I work for a lighting company so i had access to gel numbers, power consumption info, advice for dimmer patch and phase balancing, then i had 3 hours to fully program the desk (event 48+ set to wide mode) and ontop of all that work, i was helping my gf with SM'ing, my mate with SO'ing, other ppl running other cable

  • NIce work...

  • Epic. Wish had acsees to that size stage and all dose lights and controllers

  • amazing

  • great job

  • Seriously awesome job man!!

  • whoa my cousin Susan went to this school... cool.

  • I wish our college would let us do that :)

  • Wow I Ran Lighting with 10 intel Movers and i thought that was hard!

  • very nice :)

  • Toy Shop Madness!!!!!! Hell yea! its the best TSO song to date!!!!

  • what is the song between 3:35 - 3:44,

    Nice Video... Amazing LFX

  • very well done :)

  • And then, Epilepsy Ensued.

    :D

  • absolutely awesome! I wish they had a program like that when i was in school. Although I wasn't really into lighting or sound at that time. Something like that may have sparked my interest at an earlier age. Great Job!

  • wow, this was amazing. not an empty seat in the audience. phenominal. i wish they had this when i was going to high school. i dont condone drug use, but that would probably look crazy if you were trippin

  • Insane programming O.o

    I loved this xO

  • Where is this high school??

  • Thunderstruck by AC DC

  • Nice job with a Hog III, dude!! Props!
