fairly sure the producer wants multiple camera but its up to the budget, there will be a meeting at some point next week as we know pretty much nothing at this point

I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Haha agreed.

And here is the thing, I have all the same questions you do, the writers and the producer have never done a TV style show, I have no clue what cameras are being used yet, we only found out last week that we werent doing theatre show anymore! I need to sit down with the producer they are clueless...

Thaks for the tips, this show was originally written as a theatre show, and I have done afew theatre shows with them before, and its been a sudden change to a filmed show as we probably wont be able to have an audience so we are jus putting some stuff togethor

Thanks ill try use the conventionals then, pretty sure some of the LEDs are the chauvet slimpar ones but cant go into check because of quarantine and stuff

I usually do live music and some theatre so need some starting points on effectively lighting a filmed show that the writers want to look similar to friends or seinfeld.Ive got 6 phillips fresnels, 2 phillips profiles, 4 or so par cans, 2 large selecon cyc floods (i just use them as floods)...

Usually ive got TTI ratchet for truss, a phillips, small flathead, leatherman, eletrical tape, small crecent wrench, and of course, water bottle in the back pocket

I use the same thing in a show afew years back when a characto had to "jump through a mirror". There isnt any real risk. If using conventional blinders there is no real problem. Led stuff likke GLP JDC-1 and Atomics if strobing might be abit sketchy. Usuallu when purchasing tickets online you...

Interesting, ill have to find the australian safety standards because all of the 100+ people I see at shows work at dont have a chinstrap on their petzles, and I asked a co-oworker if he removed it and he showed me that he just clipped it inside, I asked if this was ok, he shrugged. Maybe thats...

Another thing I have noticed is most of the peple in my department tuck the chinstrap into the top of the helmet so it just goes ontop like a normal white builders hard hat, is there i problem with this, if the builders hats dont have a chinstrap does it matter if you "remove" the ones on a petzl?

Well the department I am in is a run of the mill sort of department, I mostly do networking and console setup aswell as moving light repairs, and also everything from bolting truss, hanging fixtures, cabling, plugging in racks, but NOT rigging. Other people in my department use the vertex vent...

Where would i get a petzl that is not a climbing helmet? the only place i can find them online is, well, climbing websites?

Hi,I need a new hard hat and im sick of using those horrible white builders ones. I need it for anything from festival stages to small and large arenas where a hard hat is required because of booms and what not. I have seen alot of people using hiking style hats from petzl and what not. Im not...

its a generic fixture though so for all i know it could be RAintBG!
