Glastonbury!

I'm at Glastonbury Festival at the moment. Been here since a week last Monday.
Quite tired of the gig already, and it's not event the weekend yet :(
Still very happy with the job... although it still strikes me as being a weird one when doing corporate at a festival such as this.

Underneath the Floorboards

Finally got to teching today on "Underneath the Floorboards". Set, lights and performers are superb (view from the Tallescope above). I'm sorry to be missing the rest of the project... Especially as it seems a bit damp out there and my next few weeks will be in a field at Glastonbury!

Tell them you know me if you speak to them! ;)

Taking it easy at work.

Today we've been getting in the set for Ballet Lorent's "Underneath the Floorboards", a show for young kids.

Here's Charlie on her lunch break :)

ALG at Public Announcement

This is a shot taken in rehearsals for Public Announcement last week.

It shows Anthony in front of the projection for his piece. We experimented with some wacky side lighting - super saturated colours.

Andy used VDMX on his Mac to get the origional video images to fill the cyc nicely.

Don't let Andy at me...

I think I'll try to fix this one myself...

With a bit of luck it could just be the mobo battery?

End of tech days.

This is the last moments of the last tech in the Dance Lab.

Now follows three days of shows of the students work.

This week is all about the degree shows...

And if I get time I'll post photos...
Don't hold your breath!?
;)

What else have I done this week?

Well this pile of "risen from the dead" PCs was a bit of a result...
The whole process was much speeded up by a disk clone utility that did the job nicely: HDClone3.8

Once the HDD was cloned all that remained was to hack the OEM windows key to the one on the box and rename it to a known one on the network... good as new... although largely untested in the wild as yet, but I remain hopeful! :)

Tidy set up..

Last bit of prep for the degree shows next week. Trying a new arangement of the kit and seeing if it makes a difference to do a complete soft patch for the shows.

We don't normally soft patch as we work with groups for the most part. I think this may be making us lazy so a neat channel layout may help me plot more interesting presets over the coming 26 pieces!!

Not quite what I expected?!

So I've been pestering the Degree lot for tech specs for all of their 26 pieces to be shown over 3 days...

Today I was given these:

Various sizes of paper, some actually readable... still only 12 of them :/

Oh well...
