    Is this photo a fake?

    …or, more critically, that I could dance (in an unrelated side note: can anyone explain the ominously wilting rose in my throne room?)Anyways:I would say yes, it could have caused the damage. Additionally it may be an example of what happens when inexperience meets electricity as it appears...

    Is this photo a fake?

    I’m not currently in school, but very much a still learning tech (student of experience not institution). Mind if I take a crack at it?

    Cueing spotlights for dance

    I’m not certain what you are asking here, but the document was created using google sheets (also my first time creating such for this process, feedback welcome) The ‘operator’ and ‘target’ fields are fed from data on a separate spreadsheet using the drop-down function to enable quicker editing...

    Cueing spotlights for dance

    Hello all! Our production wrapped last Sunday, so I figured I’d give an update on what we tried, and what worked vs didn’t. I was able to get my hands on some prior years archive footage, so about a week before tech, I was able to write out a preliminary cue sheet (screenshot below) with times...

    Eartec HUB headset issues

    Hi all! Hoping for some help on a problem with the Eartec HUB headsets. The system that the company I am working with has developed a loud scraping sound as the mic boom is raised and lowered through the mute that transmits quite loudly directly into any ear on the system, most notably with the...

    Cueing spotlights for dance

    Hi all! I have become involved with a dance company for which I have become their lead follow spot due to my prior experience in other shows and musicals. They have also placed me in charge of creating and calling almost all of the cues for the spot ops, as the person(s) in charge of calling the...

    Back to School: What Is It?

    Side question: what is a good resource to learn hand drafting? (Yes, I know CAD has largely replaced it but it’s a skill I’ve wished I had surprisingly often…)

    Back to School: What Is It?

    By chance, a pencil sharpener of some sort?

    Ethernet and Projectors for HS Theatre

    Ideally for our production it will be a combination of static and video loop cues. We were looking at five projectors, with three rear projecting for ground mounted walls, and two front for the 'cloud' that hangs over the set. They should ideally move together. By ethernet, I was referring to...

    Ethernet and Projectors for HS Theatre

    Hi all! I am currently involved in trying to figure out our projections for our fall play. Due to the length from our operator to the positions on stage, HDMI and other connections are unfeasible. Given our recent experience with livestreaming and NDI video, my TD and I have tried the native LAN...
