Vince Laxton replied to Elizabeth Giles's discussion Pink! Draping and Lighting Design for a Prom
"You have posted some really good pictures, you should be proud of your work.  This looks great.  Sorry I come to this web site very seldom or I would have said so earlier.    "

Vince Laxton replied to Dylon Prettyman's discussion starting my own business!!!
"The best advice I ever received was to buy steel.  Lights and lighting gear come and go the way the seasons do.  So buy a bunch of LED's and next year no one is using LED's anymore.  Buy a simple pipe hanger and 20 years…"

Vince Laxton replied to Dylon Prettyman's discussion foot in the door
"Dylan, since you ask for advice, I'd like to add something you might not want to hear.  If you want to get your foot in the door, don't be stepping on toes.  You want to be a "simple grip".  You are talking about a…"

Vince Laxton replied to Richard Cadena's discussion What Leads to Success?
"If you are doing stage, rock 'n roll, country, film, music or dance get out from behind the scenes. Technicians everywhere can learn one hell of a lot from finding some venue (school? amateur theatre? karoke?) then learn to do what your star…"

**REPRIEVED** TheMightyOne Official video

"Great production. Definitely video, but well done. The way the colours read and highlights/shadows clip very quickly (video still has poor range in that regard) give it away. The "film" effects are a pet peeve of mine but thankfully…"

**REPRIEVED** TheMightyOne Official video

"Very nice! It's great to see/hear something that doesn't look like a cookie cutter was used to produce it. I agree w/Jim about the focus sometimes being more about the fixture than the result. Lately I've been feeling like everything…"

**REPRIEVED** TheMightyOne Official video

"I agree with RC, looks great and gets the subject lit well without scrificing the cool concert look of the "rock" lighting. Film? not really except when the film-look effect(s) are applied and it becomes obvious. The other sections the…"

**REPRIEVED** TheMightyOne Official video

"I liked the video, but felt betrayed when there was no burn-through at the end. Good to see some good solid rock and roll lighting for a change. Sometimes the whole affair becomes something about a moving light fixture than the light it produces."

**REPRIEVED** TheMightyOne Official video

"Nice! The lighting makes a huge impact - nice contrasts, modeling, colors, dynamics, depth. Does it look like film? At times, yes. Except for the melting celluloid and broken film flapping in the projection booth."
