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

    As far as i know you are the youngest hog3 user on high end systems... I am 17 and my church is building new facility for high schoolers (i am cuttently running ETC express) and this is what got me started b/c we are going to use a roadhog to control an assorment of moving heads, LED's and scrollers. And in responce to your "what next" question... get plugged into a local church that is of larger size and chances are that one of the venues has a console that you can toy around with. the plus side is that it gives you a lot of creative freedom because they usually are just happy enough just that you are there. you'll move up the line =)
