Hey Derek, is this
book among the titles of your library?
The Followspot Guide
No, but it's on my wish list, though not high (and my birthday just passed). Too expensive, and the author is British. No offense intended, just that I bought his
PracticalDMX and regret it. Discussed too much English practice, and every other
page says "Use
CAT5 as
DMX cable so you'll be future proof." Fine sentiment, but I didn't need $50 to learn that. And something off about a Brit writing a
book about something that happened due to
USITT, and STEVETERRY, et al.
Also I read somewhere that the
book is not comprehensive, I believe doesn't include manufacturer Strong (the
ETC of followspotery) or
Lycian (the
Strand,) can't remember which. But I'm sure the
book loves
Robert-Juliat, I'm the only one who doesn't. Hmm, an R/J spot with chocolate in every
colorframe AND taped to the front--my personal
vision of H E you-know-where.
I'm still formulating a plan to raise money for CB based on our collective knowledge...will advise when it becomes public.
