OK so I know that this has been asked before, I searched diligently and read the links etc. provided.
I am about to get thrown in the deep end weighted down with chain and a couple of counterweight bricks on a roadshow with a Hog 2. Big deal, right? Well, yeah, cos I have next to NO experience on this console.
I am very comfortable on ETC consoles (hush, no catcalls) and on some AVO products (Pearl, Azure, Shadow). However, I am finding that this is if anything a problem - I am so stuck with the naming conventions and syntax I am used to I am having trouble transitioning to the Hog conventions.
I would really appreciate suggestions for quick-start guides, books, even DVDs if they aren't going to cost me an arm and a leg. Formal training classes will have to wait for later when I have a little more time - show's in about 3 weeks.
I do have a console and a show disk to play with - oh, didn't I mention? I am just the ME and mover tech, but right now I am not even sure I can bring lights up for focus. Also, there are movers, but I don't know yet if I will be responsible for setting positions and doing focus updates (sorry ... palettes?) Naturally, the guy who wrote the show is not currently available to talk to and might not be at all.....
ANY help would be wonderful, many thanks in advance to all you gurus!
