Calling a musical takes some concentration! have a look at our DSM Amy as she call some cues during the Addams family! Find out where we are next @ www.theaddamsf...
Ahhh, now I can put the face to the voice we sometimes here in Carrie's vlogs :) And realised today you're coming to my local theatre next week - seeing this a week on Saturday :D
Andy Vlogs it really REALLY did! Addams was the highlight of the second part of 2017 for me, and I am really considering working behind the scenes as a crew member!! So not only was Thais great insight but also such a cool way to see behind the scenes in one of my favourite musicals! Thank you so much again and I can't wait for more videos from you! 🖤
Is there a reason why you’re not running any timecode? I would think that it makes more sense co suffering you have lots of cues with them sometimes being right after one another
Fabtastic question! We had a live band that were not using a click track. For timecode to work at its most effective all department’s need to run to one timecode! Hope this answers your question!
That absolutely does answer it, although that brings me to a second question. Are you running OSC via QLab for sound to trigger sound fx along with lx cues and vice versa?
Jeremy Burd another good question! The sound did trigger the lighting and i do believe it was OSC (tho it was a while ago now!) i believe it ran a second Q stack that triggered the lightning. This meant that if we had a relaxed performance that we could change or remove one Q and that would stop the strobing from happening!
Jeremy Burd you would only ever do it one way saves on confusion. But you could do it lx to sound rather than sound to lx. But i think it is easyer to so it sound to lx. Easyer to program aQlab file to send osc to the corect place on a network, in my opinion
Hello! thanks for watching! if I am totally honest... you don't need any qualifications just knowledge. You are able to get this just by working in a local theatre but it will be hard work and fast pace! There are university and stage school that offer courses. These are good as it gives you the skills you need to be able to work in a slower safer environment. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask! All the best! Andy Ball
Thank you. I've performed and also worked back stage. Will try my luck at the fringe theatres before the West End. Kind regards and I'm keeping on dreaming ;)
Thanks. My leg injury might have accedeed me in doing dancing, but working at front or back of the theatre still makes you buzz. Got lots of black clothes
Hay! If I remember correctly it was for the low smoke we had in the show. The venue we were in made them very powerful so we popped it in a cue later then we would normally! Hope you enjoyed!
