I had yet another construction project manager tell me that the house lights don’t really matter to the show, so it's fine if they don’t dim properly or are the wrong colour. What do I know, right?

As a theatre tech can I just say that was bloody fab to have as a segment. Thank you!!
Cannot even count the amount of times I've said "if we've done our job right they won't know we're here" or some version. Of that sentiment 😂

Drei Jahre mit #MECFS in der Familie. Jetzt kann ich so langsam wieder zum Theater fahren. Erstmal die arme, vernachlässigte Hardware putzen und Rechner updaten… 😢💪

Bald gehts los mit Bühnenbau! 🥳

@chrisjrn well, hopefully the light show and staging will be fun to watch at any rate #eurovision #techtheatre #techtheater #StageLighting

Just had a request to justify in writing why we don’t recommend skylights in the auditorium of a theatre.

🤦

This video is doing the rounds this week and it is quite good, but I keep obsessing over the air vents right in the middle of the stage floor.

My kid just asked me a question about theatre lighting design.

I think I’ve done well.

(In particular, she asked: why do theatre shows have a trope of lighting the whole stage in blue, and then highlighting the main character in a yellowish colour?)

For the uninitiated, the product is called “Colorsource V” in which the V is the letter V, not a Roman numeral.

A guy just called me to ask about the "Colorsource 5" fixtures on a project of mine. I suspect he may not be an authorized ETC dealer...
