New Updates at LightingTrainer.COM:

http://www.LightingTrainer.com


On our console page you can now learn over 10 different lighting consoles

On the Basic page you can learn things like basic programming, intro into DMX, networking intro, and some great videos from the CSL Webinars.

While almost all the videos have been watched at least dozens of times each, our most watched video is on that page, can you guess which one it is? (it is well over 300 views in our first month)

Our Software page is also well underway and you can not only learn about Wysiwyg there (many more viz/CAD tutorials to come) we also have some pretty good tutorials covering content creation. This includes Photoshop, Adobe After Effects and a couple of really long videos on 3D Studio MAX.

We have just made a significant update to the look and feel of the web site. We went to darker backgrounds for better video viewing, especially for the backstage sessions.

We will also be growing both the Media Server/Digital Lighting section and the Moving light section will be getting a lot of demo reels broken down by manufacturer and type. We are also offering product review videos and we hope to do some type of comparison series so people can look at them side by side.

Finally the Misc. page is really growing and there are many fun and interesting videos there to watch. At one month old we have well over 25 hours of great training videos for you to watch and now with our new web site in place we will really begin posting much more. Our hosting service Powweb offers unlimited space and we plan on filling it up!!

LightingTrainer.COM is your one stop source for training and support materials for the Stage lighting and Visual Entertainment industry.

This includes training videos, tutorials, manuals and more, plus unbiased product reviews by professionals for professionals! The best part is the entire site is free. It is also presented by the Irwin bothers known for pioneering lighting training for over 20 years.

Thanks Joe!! We love having people say those types of things and thanks for visiting. We are so eager to build the site the right way and to offer as much content as possible. But hopefully keep it in an easy sort of format so it is quick to find what you want.

Please let us know if there are any particular videos or training that you need. That goes for everyone of course.

In case anyone needs the link, http://www.lightingtrainer.com

Thanks again and please tell your friends and visit often!!

Hello Everyone,

Here is your last LightingTrainer.COM update for the year 2009.

http://www.lightingtrainer.com

We are now well over 20 gigs of training videos and the last time we checked, there was over 50 hours of content to watch and still growing.

But we have just begun a new wave of uploads particularly directed to the Moving Lights page. We have are categorizing types of moving lights and we are adding product links for manuals and other tech info.

Since our last update to you guys we have added a lot of videos including tons of stuff from Apollo, City Theatrical, along with more console training videos. You can now learn 17 consoles!

We have also begun to work with manufacturers to help them make more video content. So starting right away in the New Year you will see the LightingTariner.COM website grow to at least double it's present size.

We promise to keep the site easy to use and as always FREE. There will never be any cost to YOU the visitor to watch any of these stage lighting training videos.

So what's coming up for LightingTrainer.COM???

In 2010 we will be giving you live webcasts from manufacturer facitlites allowing for live training and product demos. Think about it, no need to travel, just let LightingTrainer.COM arrange all the details and you simply show up. If you can't be there, we will have them posted on our site to view later.

We will even be doing live webcasts from real show sites. Following technicians while they work so people can learn what it is like to be in the line of fire. Think of a webcam strapped to an LDs head and we get to watch as he does every part of his day. That is what we are preparing for our visitors.

Did I also mention that it is all FREE and on YOUR schedule!!!

http://www.lightingtrainer.com

As you can see there is just TOO MUCH to say in one post so we will be back with more updates as soon as the clock strikes midnight to what is sure to be a great YEAR.

Happy Holidays to everyone and be SAFE!!
