Techie sayings

[WestlakeTech]

Yes, but in all the movies people also fall in love in a matter of two weeks (often in High School), they all know the dance moves to songs they're just hearing for the first time, the good guys always win, and the lighting is often quite un-natural.

lol occasionally if i feel like it and have the range i will pfl the actors and listen to their pep talk, or whatever else they may be talking about

Total hobby right there. Listening in and heard something about chinese prostitutes. Had wireless headphones, slapped them on the actor and he was a bit embarrassed once he figured it out.

I wish I could say that suprised me. Our actors wouldn't be embarrassed, they'd love it and say something similarly grotesque the next time around.

Oh actors. *WestlakeTech rolls his eyes 'cause the smiley's make his internet mad.*

Here's one we use down in Pageantland whenever we have to redo a project.

If you haven't done it three times, you haven't done it.

Ours is , " If its worht doing once, it's worth doing three times...."
Goes along well with " Cut it off 3 times and it's still too short."

The one I'm most familiar with is
"Let's get this thing over so we can go grab a beer!"
Now I am not pushing under age drinking, I am just calling it like it is.

So.... TRUE.... i say that almost every show... LOL

What is the most common phrase one would say to techies before a show? I would guess not "good luck", but "break a leg" is only for actors, isn't it? Or maybe techies don't go for that sort of thing...I'm just looking to include everyone in pre-show well-wishing.

Normal for us.....Wheres the cast party tonite?


lol

We say, "Break an actor/dancer/et cetera."

Last week we finished The Crucible last week, I heard "I can get you weed, I can get you meth, I can get you all sorts of great sh**!"

There's one girl on our crew who mentions this story a lot.

She says that when we did Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead two years ago, the guy who played Hamlet was backstage and actually sniffed out somebody's bag of pot.

Hamlet:

Doobie, or not doobie? Whether 'tis nobler to be wise...

Light people its break a bulb
Sound people its break a cone
and for stage break a prop/set piece etc.

you can get creative
And we always play at least one song over the radio before the show. Doesn't matter which one. Just make sure its good.

 

[avkid]

Sound people its break a cone.

A horn is far more likely.

 

[Clifford]

Light people its break a bulb

I think a lamp is far more likely.
