production session
so production session is coming to the end past couple of weeks have been long and hard iv been on a couple of shows some good some not so good but in all the production team have worked well together
on the week off 6th of June to the 10th of June I was apart of the production of hamlet my role this week was lx op at the begging of the week we come into an empty space as it wasn't used the week before so this helped us with the get in on the 1st day of the get in I was asked if I could help outside as there was an awards evening taking place on the Wednesday and they was short on crew so I went out to help rig the lx and sound for this week
the hamlet show lighting was really a natural look we used mac 600s to light the spirit what gave a really nice ghost look to the character
the week starting 20th of June I was put on a show called pornography written by Simon Stephens it was based on the 7/7 bombings that took place in London in 2005 the Monday I came in to have no idea off the show and no idea of what to expect from this performance I was told on the Monday that no crew was available to help me with this performance so I had to use as many as I could when I had them on the Monday but all was set up and ready to go for when the actors came for the tech run. I worked with the director Sarah mayhew to see if she had any ideas of what lighting she would want Sarah just told me to use my design skills with this as she doesn't do much lighting so I sat with Sarah and watched a rough run through of the performance and started the process of the design we programed half of the show on the 1st day so Tuesday we came in a finished programing and started a full tech run Wednesday the 22 of June it was show day and I come in early to edit some lighting cues to make the show more affective and give it the tension it needs
at the end of the evening show Sarah come up to me and said I worked at a professional level
