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

    Let's see...in 2006 I would have been about 12 years old, and just staring starting learning on the Hog 3. I had been working with LightJockey normally at my church since I was about 6, however, it just wasn't doing the job. This past Christmas we received a Road Hog. I've been going strong and actually do free-lance work now. I have done such things as "JFest", a Christian music festival featuring the top artist of a particular radio station. I can't tell you how much it excites me to see someone else who is in the same boat I am. I love it. I hate the always lingering "if I go up and talk to the LD at some big show...they're just gonna think I'm some dork kid." Mainly because it's happened before. This encourages me.
