I learned very early on (when my lead got up in my face and yelled at me front of all the other technicians) to not put my hands in my pockets. At first I was taken aback... we weren't really doing anything, and it was kind of cold out so you know... trying to warm them and such.Later, while...

I worked with the set semi recently actually. Despite the awkward way to make it all work (what with the kicking and holding hard), it as a decent trick! We had a tough time convincing the venue to let us use the tesla coil. :(

Hey Man, I was bored... so I made you a fixture profile! See if it will work for you. I set the "flash" stuff in the first range to happen between 1% and 50%, then just brightness 51% - 100%.See if it works out for you and let me know!

A couple of my friends buy a matte screen protector for their phones. It goes on and you can see through it perfectly but it cuts the reflections like a light hitting the screen and going into your eye. I wonder if it would help with the problem. It might be kinda expensive to purchase for every...

I know nothing about Zero 88 boards or the lights mentioned but were I in your situation, I would go to Zero 88's website and research the board, then if no answer is had give them a call.

https://pomo2k.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/out-damn-spot-powerpoint-version.pdf Stumbled across this once upon a time. It should help you a lot!

Hire on with a company. Talk to everyone you can about wherever else the work, whatever else they do, etc. Remember and look up the companies when they have good things to say. Look up the bad ones too.Figure out how to apply to them. Sometimes you can ask whoever you are working with...

One space I frequent uses the top of the rope handle for in and out. Another space (and my preference) uses 2 fingers above the rope lock. Traveling shows that come in use one color for in (green), one color for out (red), and then a color to signify in between spikes. House spikes were all...

I am unsure of the networking capabilities of the Element, However if it is possible, you would want to set up the Ion as master, the Element as a client board. You will want to partition one board with the conventionals and the other with the movers. I'm not sure how well this works when...

Generally, I keep it through a belt loop.If I pick up tieline one at a time, I pass a loop of tie line through the belt loop and pull the other side though. When I need a piece, I can grab it by the loop and pull. If I pick up a whole bunch, I'll stick one side of it all through, and take the...

Are these the correct E Par units?Would you consider selling sets of 8? If so what would your price be for 16 of them?

As a lighting / electrics tech, my favorite booths are ones where I can be center, have enough counter space. Usually in the house I'm able to set up in about 5' of a 6' table and be happy, but it really depends on what the light board is. I usually am on an Ion, so the monitors sit above my...

Without specifics on the unit types, the console used, signal chain, what the units do SPECIFICALLY that is "messed up" it makes it a little bit harder to diagnose. These are the things I would check.Are they addressed correctly in the board? Are you sure you have the right profile selected...

I've been working in three/four new spaces... They all have issues which I will say now. For every issue there IS something nice about the space.Two spaces do NOT have bathrooms on the same floor as the stage level, nor do they have a place for a crew room to go to before or after your call /...
