Technician in Theatre @lightingblossom - Tumblr Blog

theatre kids actually organise action and genuine resistance instead of suggesting that “we should all gather and sing les mis!” challenge

Guess who does the organizing? The tech kids. Go suggest it to your stage manager and they'll make it happen.

My political views are so far left I’ve exited pursued by a bear

I can’t believe this theatre pun post was so relatable

Q2Q Comics #543: Labor Has Value

hamlet but instead of soliloquies he just stands in the middle of the stage and screams

Hey techblr, can I get some help? I'm doing inventory of my theater's supplies and I found this lamp. I don't know what unit it goes to and I can't seem to find anything online. Can anyone tell me?

Through some Googling, may have it been a Colortran fixture? That’s about the only fixture I can find specifying that lamp (without digging super far)

lightingblossom

Thank you! I have no idea why we have this lamp in our inventory, seeing as we don’t have a Colortran Mini Zoom, but at least the lamp isn’t a mystery anymore.

if you type .com instead of .org for my community theatre’s website, it leads to a japanese dentistry and i have no clue why

thatsmytumblername

upon further inspection, the website has no address or contact information for the supposed dentistry. It mentions Omotesando, a street somewhere in Tokyo that’s primarily inhabited by luxury goods stores like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc.

what’s more is that, while there are several dentist offices on Omotesando, none of them have a website that matches this one

i’m starting to wonder if this website is simply advertising the concept of opening a dentistry practice on a particular street?

OKAY I HAVE NEW PROBLEMS BECAUSE NOW IT REDIRECTS TO A CHINESE ONLINE POKER SITE

which is most certainly NOT a scam, I’m sure

I ran the page translation and clicked on “about us”

They say they’re in Costa Rica, and that all of their gambling is in adherence with Costa Rican gambling laws

i am about to have a fucking conniption

thatsmytumblername

think i can click on any of their “contact us” stuff without getting malware? i mean, they’ve got a gmail. i could just…. email them

Life hack to make your theater lights last longer!

Turn them off. Just...slide that slider. The same you used to turn the lights on.

Needed a tight light and ran out of ellipsoidals.

The things I do for theatre...

I made a stupid thing about my morning:

"Do you have R119 and R132 with you? Can you put them in the same frame so I can see what that looks like? Okay now run the barrel?"

Unfortunately it’s a Parnel and the throw distance is like...six inches. There’s only so much light can do under these conditions. But on the plus side I might be getting an Army of Par 16s which I would love and cherish as my little flock ❤️
