Hi everyone, I am Bo Tindell, a first year lighting design graduate student in the Theatre and Dance Department at UCSD. I started working in lighting during high school in Fresno, CA in the wonderful Central Valley. I attended Fresno City College and transferred to Cal State Fullerton as a Theatre Major with an emphasis in Lighting Design. I have worked as a freelance lighting designer through college and worked most recently for Celebrity Cruises as a lighting operator for 6 months. I considered myself as much a lighting programmer as much as I do a designer. I also have found an interest in expanding my design into video/projection design. I am in charge of the lighting for the space so feel free to email if you have any questions. Email: botindell@yahoo.com Skype: bowoahski
Interests
My Interests/research fields are expanding my knowledge of how lighting can effect art and also how lighting can be altered through different technologies. The lighting industry has revolved around lighting control systems developed by large lighting companies for the masses and I would like to see what sound systems have developed that can also be used in lighting.
Platforms
I use Mac OSX and haven't used Max or Pd but am interested in learning. For lighting I am currently running the lighting for our PC lab at UCSD with the Luminair App on an iPad 2. I also program lighting through ETC and Wholehog lighting systems. For projection design I use Isadora and Qlab.
