I’m Craig Brink. I’m a Rigging Gaffer. This is my story.So here I am once again, finding myself in the UPM’s office as the guy who has to justify how dimming for the DP and Gaffer’s lighting is being controlled and why. There are seldom many favorable options. The DP and gaffer don’t want lessons on how to light a set, the dimmer room is conceivably 400’ away, the fluorescents need to be

Bad HMI head feeder cables are more than just an irritation. The least expensive part of an HMI system is also the part that routinely causes more than 50% of all failures. In fact anyone owning or using HMI lighting will probably waste a great deal of time and money every year on faulty cables. Bad cables don't just black out the light, they can often cause expensive damage to the ballast and

When you’ve been in the “business” long enough, you’ll probably run into your fair share of Redheads and Blondes. I remember the day I first laid eyes on my first Redhead. She was petite, but broad. Punchy yet lightweight. And as cheap as she might have seemed to others, she was a great tool for me at the time. But years later, she broke my heart and I traveled throughout Europe looking for a

Overmolding HMI head feeders provides numerous opportunities within the entertainment industry to reduce the total cost of ownership in cable assemblies and repairs. More importantly, overmolding will reduce costs in HMI ballast repairs as well. The actual process of overmolding is nothing new. Injection molding of thermoplastic materials has been around since the 1950’s and chances are that
