Been down that road, thanks, not really interested in being forced into a workflow that doesn't work for me just bc "everyone" is doing it. All my love, Steve, long-time fan and admirer and I mean zero disrespect, but I have a crater-sized chip on my shoulder against the idea that one way of...

Unfortunately, part of the deal with the wyg demo is that they won't let you save, print, or export. :rolleyes: I reeeeeeeeeally want this to work, but I'm fearing that I may be resigned to a life of resentful partnership with vectorworks.

Anyone running a current version of wysiwyg have any issues with your dwgs being imported into Vectorworks?I'm trying out the demo version of wyg to see if it's a better fit for me (Vectorworks and I have never gotten along,) and I want to make sure that I'll still be able to trade drawings...

Feeling unsafe can come in many forms. It can be feeling pressured or bullied into climbing without the proper harness. It can be getting less than 6 hours off between calls and struggling to stay awake as you drive to the venue. And it can also be fearing being left alone with that road co...

What *should* happen is that industry should put people and safety before profits and take concerns of safety seriously, regardless of whether they come from the mouth of an experienced veteran or someone new to the industry.Lol, I know, right?Personally, I view this as part of my...

These are the big boys in question.

Anyone know what this lamp is? Came out of an old Kliegl fixture. Looks like a FCZ and an FEL had an awkward night together...

While I wholeheartedly agree, be careful with that. I've known people who almost didn't graduate for things like missing a required strike (which taught them nothing) so that they could work a paying overhire gig (which taught them a lot.) Yes, they should make accommodations for the job hunt...

Uuuuummmmm...I say this with zero snark or sarcasm, but please find a better class. Your teacher is more interested in remaining comfortable and unchallenged than teaching you useful skills. If they're planning to teach you decade-old LW because "that's what they used", what other out-of-date...

This post has several great points to think about, some which I agree with, some which I don't, but all worthy of mulling over.I totally did a resume bomb when I first moved to the area. Googled "theatre near me", sent a resume to everything that returned a result. (Though, as MRW points out...

Also, make sure you're viewing them against a high contrast background. A S4 beam is going to struggle to pop against a lit cyc, but against an upstage black, even PAR 64s will give you some shape.

So much this. The part where the best way to learn is by getting your hands dirty, but especially that last bit. Academic productions tends to cover only one kind of event in the vast landscape that exists in the professional sphere, and most of them function VERY differently than shows in...

ASAP. Even if you go through the process and they end up not being able to hire you due to your graduation date, you went through the process and you learned something from it. (And if it's a good enough job, I would make a case for taking it and finishing your degree later. The idea of a degree...

Additionally, (assuming that by "digital lighting board" you mean anything in the ETC Eos family,) I strongly recommend the ETC Tea Break Tutorial. It won't get you into all the nooks and crannies of that console, but it's enough to give you a confident start, and in a very approachable way.

I mean, or just, ya know...don't use guns.Also, reason 485k for why toxic working environments where management feels entitled to s*hit on people need to go. I know that I personally let some slightly sketchy things slide in my youth because I didn't feel that I would be supported by...
