As someone who has worked with some of these designers directly, they do hand-draft their own plots according to option B. But if you say that they hand it to assistants, of you look at the plots for the likes of Wicked or Spiderman, drawn by Karen Spahn or Viviene Leone both are very well...

I think it very much depends on what your intending to do with the software? For lighting plans, I would definatly use VectorWorks. Easiser on the eye, great intergration with LightWright. For ground plans? Has to be AutoCad, I feel its what the software is aimed at and the tools are far more...

Good Afternoon (in the UK)I am going to be the Vari*Lite tracker for a large touring musical in the UK this summer. The role is a very un-used one on British theatre and thus, I am finding it very difficult to find examples of the paperwork produced. Does anyone have examples of large moving...

Re: PLASA2008 ReviewWell as a UK technician and spent two days at PLASA, I thought the strand pitch was bad, I spent nearly 30mins on the Palette and hated it, I am a very big user of the 500 series consoles and for someone to say that the Palette was made to mimic the 520 syntax is a load of...

Even though the Entours don't have the best Gobo and Colour wheels in the world, the price you get them for is great, and they have lowered the prices again in the past 6 months. One great thing in the Entours is the Studio Mode, It is great for theatre application, but saying that, i love the...

OK, I have redone all of the symbols into a better GIF format with the transparency, As to the degree size symbols, I have removed the lines and added the degree number onto the symbol, that way it provides more clarity to the symbol. Any problems let me know, Click here to download (DOWNLOAD)

What do you mean? These symbols are to be used in programs like paint of work.
