LIGHT TALK Episode 31 - "Hamsters and Gerbils" - Interview with John McKernon

Episode #15 goes to the Obi-Wan of lighting software...it's John McKernon! John tells us how Lightwright came to be and what it's like creating an integral design tool used all over the globe. Learn how Lightwright and John's career started (like so many things) in Ken Billington's office, and hear tales from the past from 'One Mo' Time', 'The Red Shoes', 'Chicago', and 'Late Nite Comic'. Hear what the Union exam used to be like back in the "old days" and what John thinks is the trick to winning a Tony for lighting. John McKernon has forever changed the way lighting design is created and documented and now you can meet the man behind the code!
