Done anything fun lately?

<After one of my usual lengthy absences>

I realize I ask this to just about everyone I see (professionally) and I think it could make a good sticky thread on here.

Either post something fun you've learned lately...or some really fun project you've worked on.

The last cool show I got to do had like 20 mac 2Ks (which was fun to play with) and I got to run the opener and crew sup the show.

Fun thing I learned TODAY: How not to post online stupid things I've learned

I know you guys have some really cool shows going on, and probably learning some ridiculously awesome things...so SHARE!

And please feel free to share as little as you want about the details, per D-Funk's privacy statement dealy.

I did it right, just forgot to mention it.

Anyway, I'd appreciate if y'all just unquoted what you've got quoted and we can move on...this is off to a brilliant start...

I just got done designing lights for The Women of Lockerbie at my college. It was a lot of fun! We might be moving the show to the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) in January, and I am going to be working an intership at the Festival most likely working a couple of the shows and doing load-in and load-out. I might even present my Lighting Design for the show at the Festival and could possibly get an award. It would be really cool if I did but I'm still shaky...I don't know if I want to enter my design, I don't feel like I could compete with everyone else who is entering.

Do it!!!!!

What's the worst that could happen? If you're proud of your design, I really thinkg you should do it. Or maybe do a dry-run presentation to us?

I posted pictures and the plot of the show in the Sticky in the top of the forum. You're welcome to take a look at it.

Put it in, your pics looked good. Don't worry about the paperwork, worry about what they show looked like and WHY it looked the way that did. Too much we get bogged down in paperwork. You had a good looking show (don't know if it fit with the script) and it looked like it meshed well with the rest of the design concept of the show. Put it in.

I am working on a big christmas show that is circus ole style. They have girls sliding down ropes and swinging from the catwalk. There is one part in which a girl wraps herself up in a sheet of material, then hangs completely vertical and then slides down from the catwalk about 20 feet then catches herself and begins to swing around. I will try to get pics, but it is one of the most over the top productions i have done as far as people flying and the style.

Our little lighting rig is composed of about 90 conventional fixtures, and about 40 movers all ran off of a jands vista.

I hope you're being sarcastic when you say little lighting rig.

Well, while enjoy working in the theatre, my fun has just begun now that the ski areas are opening up for the winter!

We open The Light in the Piazza tomorrow night and it has been a great show to work on. So life is pretty good, and the fact that tech is finally over is awesome!
