The Standard Rig

This is intended to allow students to plan and work on their lighting from an earlier stage, and focus on the design aspects of lighting without getting bogged down with large rigging requirements. Many different looks can be achieved using the standard rig.

The components of the standard rig are as follows. All generics are open white.

  • Front light, using 6 x 1kw LED fresnels
