Default How are ya?

Hey my name is Stephen, found the this site through google while I was looking for followspot tips. I just recently got a job at a local Theater and work lights, sound, sound effects, and followspot. It gets busy but its quite fun. I'm mainly a sound mixer (so official sounding huh?) at my church and having to work on more then that at work has been a challenge. Its interesting sound has taken up the past 4 years of volunteer work but I'm actually planning to go to college to get a bachelor of applied science in Air traffic management with an emphasis on Air Traffic control. Yea, thats the name. Anyway I can't wait to get involved here.

I look forward to talking and contributing to the forums!

-Stephen

Welcome, Unmanedpilot. You don't need no stinkin' google, once you've found us. We have our own search, right at the top of the page, between "New Posts" and "Quick Links." Anything not already covered, feel free to ask!

Since you're new, here are some links to help you out:
Here's a 30 post thread about "aiming tips." Here's a thread about how to soften a followspot's edge. Here's my favorite site on followspot operation.

Have a good time, and keep on "pushing tin."

welcome aboard. Ask questions, answer when you can. There are many people with lots of knowledge who are more than willing to share. Make yourself at home!
