The distance from the surface of a lens of an instrument to its focal point. Also called focal distance.

Honestly, the reason I decided to have run-crew first on this draft...is the job I am designing this for is Run-crew. I plan on moving them around depending on which job I am sending it too.But I see your point on that.As far as objective...I've heard/seen a lot about that. My professor...

Is this the type of formatting you were talking about?And with references on one page...is three references advised/okay?Or instead of Director on every show, should I put TD or SM depending on who was my supervisor?

...Ya, I was just reading the lasted additions to the Technician/Techie debate. Readily noted and will do.As far as one page...Should references ALSO fit on the SAME page? Or are those a page to themselves? That's how I have it here. Is 1 page to the resume, 1 to the references.And I used...

Changes have been applied (will update attachment soon). Question though on what you mean by programmer. I PRESUME you are talking about light board programming? I have programmed cues in, with timing and intensity and such, but isn't there more to it than that? I wasn't sure if I had as...

Hm, I've always spelled Dr. Seuss wrong then...But will fix, and try to remember. The last paragraph is not part of real resume, it is there to explain my choice of references. There was a fairly lengthy tip on regards of who to choose.But thanks.

I have reviewed several of the advice threads, and edited mine via advice already given. But was hoping to get some final advice real quick. Also specific advice on how to write a cover letter. I've only written one, and that was for the intern position at my college, and I was the only one...

Thank you much, I will definitely make an advance to acquire the books mentioned (I have lately been expanding my tech-theatre library). I'm getting about two-three books a semester when I can afford it. And I will check out the site too.

Hello, I was wondering what might be a good online resource for scenic techniques. A comprehensive (if possible) list of used mediums and patterns/textures. I am doing an independent educational project for myself, to help myself grow in the scenic art spectrum of the shop. And I was...

Question?Do you have a local community theatre that could LEND you some or all of the hardware?I know back when I was in highschool, not only was the community theatre a big help, but the TD there helped build and design our sets (with our director who was also more technical).That would...

For me as an aspiring TD, the most important part of ANY design process, whether it be sound, lights, set, props, costume, makeup, etc...is communication. Whether that be with the director to get his ideas and incorporate his vision, or with other departments to make sure things don't clash, or...

This is a college performance...but I'm not sure if there were actors smoking or not, I know one or two actors were outside, and a few of their friends from the audience were there also, and I know those two were smoking... However my mind was on other tasks I generalized that.

Thanks much. I just Googled it and went to the site, and got lucky. I registered.Any other venues will still be checked out if posted.

Does anyone have links to a mailing list, or website that is active where a props person could talk with and learn from other properties people? I am starting to delve into that area as well as TD, and would love to follow the advice in one of the Articles and get on a list. Thanks Justin
