Lighting and Sound
Fri, 10 Feb 2006, 04:07 pmHey everyone,
I chasing sound and lighting courses in W.A. Would FTI be the best place to go? Or the academy? Prefer short term courses.
I live in Margaret River and manage the community cinema that operates in the Cultural Centre, under the organisation Arts Margaret River. We also have touring performances and local shows staged there. We have been discussing the benefits of having one of us fully trained in these areas as we can rarely afford to hire professionals from Perth or Bunbury (we are a non-profit organisation) so it seems smart to have a local. (more often then not, volunteering their time)
Has anyone any suggestions?
cheers

G'day,
Check out your local TAFE. See if they run a Certificate III for "Live Production, Theatre and Events" (National Course Code: CUE30203). Should be about 400hrs over six months. As well as the seeminghly mandatory OHS and IR, there is modules in: general audio principles; install and test audio equipment; operate professional audio equipment; general lighting principles; install and test lighting equipment; operate professional lighting equipment; plus, bump-in/bump-out. It may be of some help to you. (Or, you could do a full Diploma -- National Course Code: CUE50303, which offers all of the above and more over one full year.)
Cheers,
Russell
