Hiya. Guess this is where to start and say Hi to all. nickname is Wolf..been in theater and production for about 15 years. Came by to see what this space is about and maybe contribute if I can in my freetime.
Worked as freelancer & now fulltime for various places over the country. My current gig is TD at a local Comm-College theater on the east coast USA, while I figure out what I wanna do next. My background is in live sound for all types of shows (theater, broadcast and concerts), AND Lighting design and ME/operator for theater, corporate work, concert and TV. Moving light op, repair tech and programmer too (VL, High End, Martin, Hog). Plus general stage hand stuff. Odd, I know, to see someone who is skilled in both lights and sound--but I found out long ago to master both since when one isn't hiring, the other is<g>. Besides..all production areas (lights and sound etc) work together, and it makes you a better tech to be able to see where all aspects have to merge to make a show happen. I have some carp background but not a ton, and some rigging experience....my hobby interests are in makeup and special effects/pyro, and any and all cool cool gear and toys to play with<g>. I have worked for Disney, ABC, concert tours, local production co's (tons of corporate) and done ME and tech work/LD for some dance & cultural tours.
Anyway...got quite a bit of knowledge/experience to share, and glad to do so. Also--always looking to learn and expand what I know and grow more in what I don't know. Can never know everything...and I've learned a lot of stuff from other techs. So I hope this is the right place.
well I guess thats about it. I'll check this place out some more over the next few weeks and look forward to the forums and sharing of the knowledge... hopefully it will be fun.
cheers.
