I second the idea of painting it. Tape NEVER matches the color of something else and something thats a little-off color will draw your eye (especially if you are talking TV, not theater). Maybe you can pre-paint the tape, stick it to something else, and then transfer it.Another idea that...

Clearly, you've never worked as a farm laborer, meat packer, or personal care attendant.Just because you offered work to 100 people and few wanted it does NOT mean that folks have moved on. Correlation is not causation, my friend. Here are some more theories that I have about why you didn't...

I'm sorry you are having those adverse health effects. I want to second what Malabaristo said about making sure you are using the type of fog/haze fluid designed for that machine. There have not been a lot of studies on the health effects of fog/haze. Part of the challenge, as you said, is...

An update from Local One:

Its so weird when the media translates theater-lingo into everyone-speak but with quotations which means they still clearly don't know what they are talking about. "restoration" = restore (maintenance is similar but probably a stretch) presuming fly floor = gridUnless some of you people call...

Just popping in to talk about Covid.This is the notes I took from a Monona Rossol webinar from yesterday (if you don't know Monona, you really should - a theater safety legend!) about atmospherics:Studies have proven that Covid attaches to (/is more concentrated when there is) air pollution...

There is some misinformation above about what constitutes and employee, volunteer, and independent contractor (1099). My collective (Technicians for Change) are pretty adamant amount the misclassification of workers so we write about it a lot. AB5 altered/clarified the definition in California...

@egilson1 I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for doing your part to promote a safer workplace. can you update the Control Booth when they release details of the OSHA report?

Do not use a floor buffer on marley. Yikes.

Moving Lights are heavy. What is the best way to add/remove a light from a road case without muscle strain/getting injured? Is there any hope for short people?Some cases require a lift which is definitely outside your ideal lifting range and there isn't enough room for more than 2 people to...

Well, here's one.

@cbrandt Which one of these is the Theater and which one is the "Pro"? https://www.highend.com/solaspot

I have had about 50 of these lights for 5 years (they were brand new 5 years ago) and have yet to see this problem. They are not my favorite light. I recommend contacting Jeffrey Bright <[email protected]> even though he has not gotten back to me recently about my 2k Fresnel issue.
