Church Production Magazine: I am always looking for new ideas, philosophies, and techniques to get the best “bang for my buck” when it comes to stage lighting and lighting effects for our church. Lighting is definitely one area where you can spend a lot of money very quickly and not have a whole lot to show for it.

I agree with some of the things this article has to say, but a lot of it seems strange to me. Having a small budget usually means you can’t afford ANY intelligent fixtures, or very few of them. These, to me, are really nice to have, but not something that is directly necessary for your ability to have a good design. Personally, I feel like good designers are able to achieve great things with conventional fixtures. In high school, I also had a very small budget to work with and had to rely mostly on my auditorium’s inventory, which was pretty good, but lacked a lot of intelligent fixtures that we have access to here at CMU. I had to rent some cheap devices called “I-Cues” which were basically a moving mirror that you could drop on your conventional fixtures to turn it into a moving light at a very affordable price. We had to get creative in so many different ways in order to maximize our budget.
