Youngest Hog 3 User?

Hello everyone, i am brand new to this forum. I am 15 and my name is Ollie. I got very interested in Lighting whilst in a production at a large theatre. Since then i have attended plasa anually aswell as visiting the BBC and ITV television studios to see what they do.

In 2004 thanks to Chris Ferrante @ Flying Pig/Highend i was invited to go down to Flying Pig's London Office and train on the newly released hog 3. I have now visited FPS London many many times and have a vast knowledge of the system and programming. Also last year i was asked by my school to tech the Lighting on the musical 'Chess' Chris kindly lent me the Hog ipc for the week to try out at my school.

Really i suppose i wanted to find out if i am indeed the youngest Hog user, but also i would love to hear from anyone who can guide me on to where to go after i leave school this year. I would really love to join a company and get trained in Lighting first hand rather than study it somewhere. Can anyone help me.

Also attached is a pic of the hog ipc console in my front room.

Thanks for reading. Ollie - 15yrs

    Ollie,

    I am thrilled to see that you are so enthused about the Wholehog 3. You very well could be one of the youngest users. Phil is correct however that my son has been involved with programming since he was about 2. He was fortunate enough to get to learn on the first Wholehog 3 console (pre-release) in the United States many years back.

    More recently he programmed a test routine for the first round of Hog iPCs every produced last year, programs our Halloween party every year on a Hog 500, and also used a beta version of Hog 3PC for a Scouting event in February. All this, and he just turned 9.

    He has been fortunate to have a well connected father and in fact he even has run some lights at two Metallica concerts.

    Again I am very happy to see that you have found your way into lighting and wish you well with your career. Please send me an email with your shipping address and I will be happy to send you some Wholehog 3 swag.
