Drawing from experience in both traditional lighting and the latest LED and wireless tech, he brings a wealth of knowledge to productions to ensure both the reliable operation of the lighting rig and the skills to execute the creative visions from the Gaffer, DP, and Director. Dans most recent credits include Younger, Law & Order SVU, The Last O.G., and Madam Secretary.

Younger, now in its seventh season, focuses on the life of Liza, a 40-year-old single mother, who pretends to be younger than she is in order to find a job amongst New York's book-publishing elite.
The show is shot in offices, restaurants and places where young professionals in publishing would populate. Lighting programmer for Younger, Daniel Choy Boyar, sums up the tone of the show. This is not a dark, dramatic show, it's a light hearted comedy and we want to make these people look good - so the lighting is flattering.

Dan is in full control of the lights for Younger, on the stage and on location. Season seven is the latest and Dan has been using the new Litepanels Apollo Bridge for DMX control and as it turns out, a whole lot more as well.
On our stage we have rigged lights above the set that are connected to the lighting console through DMX and we also have floor lights which are usually on stands but change position with every shot. These floor lights are connected to my console wirelessly really for flexibility and speed. Says Dan.
They shuttle from the truck on location to stage and between sets, although on location we typically just have floor lights. Once the lighting technicians place them and power them up Dan takes control wirelessly. Mainly I'll be the remote controller of all the lights on location.
Old out, much younger in Many new shows and some notable old ones are converting to multiple LED light set-ups and looking to build reliable DMX gateways. Dan explains how it was with conventional dimming practices, There used to be a lot fewer challenges because the lighting networks were a single ethernet cable connecting the consoles to the DMX gateways in the dimmer room. But in the past few years there have been more and more multi-parameter LED fixtures in film and television and they're replacing more and more of the conventional incandescent and fluorescent fixtures.
Dan describes what has changed now LED lights are so ubiquitous. We now have a DMX gateway above every set and on the outside of every set-wall at a reachable height. So we had multiple light Universes per set, about eight Universes on each stage. That obviously adds complexity to the lighting network. Not only that, we wanted to control both stages via a single console. We wanted to link the two we had together.
On each stage we had Apollo Bridges serving as WiFi access points so we could troubleshoot and control the lights from either a smartphone App or a tablet.

Apollo is first for Younger's new season Younger season seven was the first show that used the Apollo Bridge. Dan was impressed from the start. It was a new product when we started the season, I'd used some similar products before so I gave this a shot. It really made our workflow so efficient that once I'd set it up at the beginning of the show I really didn't have to think about it at all.
The Apollo combines many devices in to one. Essentially it's a CRMX transmitter, a DMX wired node, a WiFi access point, an enterprise class router and it's all in one small package. If you're using any of those things the Apollo can take care of all your needs.
