Live Design International (LDI) 2024

ILDA’s Lasershow Operator course provides a basic overview of laser safety, for those who are operating laser show equipment, or are working around laser shows. It goes over laser safety basics and why it is important to follow procedures set up by the Laser Safety Officer.

This course is actually the first portion of the LSO for Lasershows course. You and the LSO students will go over the same material. You will take the Lasershow Operator test, and then the course will be over for you. (The LSO students will continue for a few more hours and will have an additional test.)

The Lasershow Operator part takes about 4 hours plus there is a 45 minute test. Attendees who pass the test receive a Certificate of Completion.

(The longer LSO course goes into more detail on many of the topics covered in the Laser Operator portion. The LSO course also goes over how to fill out and submit FDA variances and FAA outdoor laser operation forms, and discusses hazards of audience scanning)

This intensive, hands-on half-day course provides a solid introduction to Vectorworks for Entertainment Rigging. The Braceworks™ add-on module for Vectorworks Spotlight and Designer allows design, production, and rigging professionals to gauge the performance of temporary suspended structures under load. Learn how to model and present a design and conduct structural analyses on suspended system loads. Attendees will also explore how to create a 3D data model and generate rigging plans, documentation, and design presentations.

Target Audience: Live event design, production, and rigging professionals.

Prerequisites: THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER CLASS. Attendees must be comfortable drafting in a 3D environment and have a general understanding of entertainment rigging.

Must bring own laptop. System requirements have been updated to Vectorworks 2025 here: https://www.vectorworks.net/sysreq

Ethernet for Entertainment Advanced session covers network management for Ethernet protocols such as sACN or Art-Net, including switch setup, network design, and discussion of real-world challenges and solutions using Ethernet. Switch setup will cover how entertainment protocols differ from the applications most switches are designed for, and how to configure inexpensive commercial switches for entertainment use. Network design will discuss selecting appropriate network devices for applications that vary from small and simple to large and complex. Discussion of real world challenges is an open discussion where attendees will be able to present issues they have experienced and ask about future plans for Ethernet systems.

TAUGHT IN SPANISH Clase en Español
Esta clase de 4 horas utilizará Vectorworks Spotlight para crear y gestionar gráficos de iluminación. Esta clase se centra en diseños de iluminación, algunos elementos escénicos y audiovisuales. Los temas incluyen inserción de luces, numeración de focos, direccionamiento DMX, creación de programas de instrumentos y publicación de gráficos de luces.
Público objetivo: diseñadores de iluminación, electricistas, y educadores en diseño de iluminación (cualquiera que necesite realizar un “lighting plot”).

Prerrequisitos: ESTA NO ES UNA CLASE PARA PRINCIPIANTES. Los participantes deben tener conocimientos básicos de Vectorworks o haber asistido a la Introducción a los conceptos básicos de Vectorworks y deben conocer acerca de la creación de “lighting plots” en papel o dentro de otro sistema CAD.

También recomendamos tomar el seminario Getting Started y completar el curso de certificación básica en línea.
