Apollo Design Sponsors Super Saturday

Scott Parker says, "Apollo Design Technology Inc. has been a supporter of Super Saturday since the start. Every year Apollo brings a new selection of terrific gobos for our special effects and templates session."

Since its founding in 1992, by Joel and Keersten Nichols, Apollo Design Technology, Inc. has gained a worldwide position in the production and distribution of special effects products to the entertainment lighting industry. Establishing itself early as a producer of custom gobos, the company has expanded into other related products used by lighting designers to create stimulating visual effects for theater, corporate events, concerts, houses of worship, and architectural applications.

The 14th annual Stage Lighting Super Saturday workshop, continuing its practical and hands-on educational presentations, will take place on Saturday, February 9, 2019, at the New York City College of Technology: Entertainment Technology Department located at 186 Jay Street Brooklyn, New York 11201. Super Saturday is produced by Scott Parker with the help of the City Tech.

Stage Lighting Super Saturday is a one-of-a-kind event held in New York City specifically designed to enhance, answer, and benefit the interests and abilities of all involved in the application of innovative stage, architectural, and entertainment lighting. To accomplish that goal, the intensive all day Stage Lighting Super Saturday Seminars are led by active members of the theatrical lighting community for the benefit of new, aspiring, and advancing stage and event designers. Emphasis is placed equally on inspiration, training, and technical application. Seminars focus on methods and equipment that can get the job done as originally visualized, and specific implementation of both new and established products to achieve the desired results.

Intensive subjects include Stage Lighting 101 for those new to the art; the use of conventional long established luminaires; the latest LED, and traditional Incandescent and arc source instruments; the implementation of color, special effects, mood, and scene lighting; and choosing among the myriad of helpful mechanical implements such as consoles, moving lights, computers, and many others.

Approximately 20 technical specialists, as well as manufacturers of superior equipment, will demonstrate techniques and newly available cost-effective products. Among the present and past manufacturing contributors, all noted for their lighting expertise and practical implementation, are such stalwarts as A.C. Lighting, ACT Lighting, ADB Stagelight, Altman Lighting, Apollo, Barbizon Lighting, Big Apple Lights, Canto USA, Chauvet Professional, City Theatrical, DraftyApp, Dove Systems, Elation Prfessionalo, ENTTEC, ESP, ETC, 4Wall, Field Template, GAM, GE Products, GLP, High End, Johnson Control Systems, Lasertainment Productions, Lee Filters, Lehigh Electric Products, LEX Products, Lighting&Sound America, Lite-trol, Lycian, Martin by Harman, Motorized Rigging Solutions, Nemetschek N.A. aka Vectorworks, Ocean Optics/Sea Changer, Osram Sylvania, PHILIPS-Color Kinetics, Polaris Lighting, PRG, RC4 Wireless, Robe, Robert Juliat, Rosco, Shadowstone, Selecon, Strand Lighting, Strong, TMB, Tribeca Lighting, and Wybron.
