Youngest Hog 3 User?

[quote=djollie029;8931]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 only just found this thread. I also started on the Hog 3 just before my 16th birthday.. all down to Brad Schiller at PLASA. Well I am in the north of the UK in liverpool, but hope to move to London soon to persue a professional programming career. PM me if you want to chat, it seems we have alot in common! :friday:. Out of interest, which LDs and programmers did you meet at the BBC and ITV? I know a few and they have been greate to me too!
