Here's pictures from "A Flea in Her Ear." Nothing really spectacular, but I'm proud of it, and the respondent gave me good remarks. More pictures are available on my website: Nick Whitworth » 2011 – A Flea in Her Ear

Pics from A Tuna Christmas, which just closed last Saturday. We waited until the last night to take pictures, so I didn't get everything I wanted, but I think they turned out well. The house during Pre Show. It was dessert theatre (Hence all the tables). Arles and Thurston from...

Like this?

We have a 5 drawer filing cabinet, 4 feet wide, 6 feet high, on casters. It even has a flip down table for cutting gel. Top two drawers are for Lamps, adapters, etc. Next drawer is Rosco gel #'s 01 through 99 (roughly), 2-3 manila file folders per color (Sorted by size Fresnel, S-4, and one...

Actually, this is for my own use. If I had tried to talk our TD into buying this, it would have taken till next year (bureaucratic state school). I need this for a show in November, so I bit the bullet and bought this stuff myself. (this way, I get to keep it) I found a TS to XLR (M) snake...

I am all for making my own cable, I even found the multicore: http://www.fullcompass.com/product/339439.html But considering 10ft of that would cost more than a complete snake, not even factoring the cost of connectors, I think I'll just buy one.

After a little research I found a TS to XLR (M) snake (surprisingly difficult to find), so I may get that. This is turning out to be more expensive than I thought...

So I just bought an M-Audio 410 Firewire audio interface to use for our next show. It has 8 unbalanced outputs, and my plan was to get an 8 channel TRS to XLR snake to run from the 410 to our console (Yamaha LS9 so no TRS inputs). That was my plan until I realized that the outputs were...

Check army surplus stores. If there's not one local, there are a few army surplus websites that sell them. I remember seeing some for about $75.

Something like this would probably work: Wireless Switch 1CH Momentary Remote & Relay Receiver - eBay (item 290477690380 end time Sep-27-10 09:00:46 PDT) For maximum reliability though, I would use a pair of XBee radios.

What about a stationary star gobo, and a rotating breakup gobo of some kind? Edit: Argh, Shoulda read all of Icewolf's post. He beat me to it.

Yeah, I thought about that too. It was a pretty awesome version of that song though. (Also, the set was pretty far along for an audition...)

Resurrecting this dead post... What kind of headphones are you people using these days. I'm looking for some in-ears in the $50 range and I'd like to see what the current favorite is.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I was referring to in the world of the show, the audience would have had to sit there while the gel colors were changed. That seems to be their main strategy.

I know it's tv, I was just saying it would be impractical to change all those colors that fast, especially with an audience sitting there.
