Learn it from the people who built it.
Three ways in. Pick by how much structure you want, not by how much you already know.
Your rig. Your showfile. A trainer who has run it on set.
For when you don’t have time to work through a course, and the crew needs to be fluent by the shoot.
An hour with Ian
Straight from the person who wrote the courses, in your file, on your problem.
- check_circleWhatever you’re stuck on, in your own showfile
- check_circleNo curriculum. You set the hour
- check_circleRecording and notes afterwards
Virtual team session
For a crew that has to be fluent by the shoot.
- check_circleLive over video, screen-shared from the iPad
- check_circleBuilt around your fixtures, not a demo file
- check_circleRecording and notes for whoever missed it
On-site training day
A trainer standing at the desk you’ll actually be running.
- check_circleA full day with a Blackout trainer on your rig
- check_circlePatch, plot, program and run a show together
- check_circleYour whole department, on the desk at the same time
What it costs depends on what you’re running. Crew size, location, and how much prep your showfile needs all move the number, so we quote it rather than list it. Tell us what you’re lighting and we’ll come back the same day.
Two minutes. We confirm availability within a business day.
We build the session around your fixtures, your venue and your cue list.
Patch, plot, program and run, then keep the recording and the notes.
