"I first learned about the Frog range from Zero 88 at a seminar in Dallas," said Gress. "After I saw a demo, I knew it was a Frog lighting console that we needed." Ultimately, Gress chose to put the largest of the Frog consoles into the Westmoore Community Church, the Bull Frog, in November of 2004. With its 24 submasters, 48/96 preset faders and control for up to 20 moving lights, the Bull Frog allows Gress and his team the 'on the fly' control that they require with the fast paced services and ever-changing set lists at Westmoore.
"I spent several months researching different lighting consoles, and the Bull Frog has not let me down one bit," says Gress. "The transition from our old lighting console was easy and learning the Bull Frog was a breeze. The easy setup and operation of the Bull Frog has made it simple to train others on both how to use the console and how to use the lighting system more effectively."
Gress has recently added both ETC Revolution fixtures and Martin MAC 250 Entour fixtures to the lighting system at Westmoore.
