It may be the colour of someones flesh but not hers. Flesh is the colour of the skin you can see through the hole in the tights of the girl on the treads.

 

 

I'm only messing, it looks great, well done to you all.

 

Safe to say there was a lot of flesh, and not the Lee 192 version either... Good thing they are all of legal age at least, id hate to think what sort of legal issues you would have with kids two years younger than these ones in this show.

The show brief was "visual interest with plenty of action" but who am I to critique the Choreographer!

 

 

Well in that case, the Choreographer failed to fulfil the brief.

 

If I'm honest, I was bored after a minute of watching "Born This Way", and "I Gotta Feeling" wasn't much better.

 

Although thats probably cos I've been a bit spoilt - we took a load of our pupils to dance at the opening ceremony of the Carnegie Cup Final a couple of weeks back, and they did that song!

 

Just my 2p.

I feel your pain on the LEDs, Fliggygeek. Some years back I worked on a show about the space programme and, despite officially doing sound, ended up soldering enough LEDs to cover the ceiling of the venue with stars in proper constellations.

 

Very nice job on the lighting...and very nics pics showing it off.

It looks very nice.

 

I guess it was only me whos first thought was, why is that girl wearing a white bra?

No - I also made that observation (with 2 daughters in dance school/regular shows, it's a common utterence from my missus to ask if they have their black undergarments.....) but I assumed this may well have been a dress (or should that be partial dress...?) rehearsal, so maybe she was saving the black stuff for first night................

With this year's Youth Theatre musical abut to take place (next week) we've recently released a 3'30" version of last year's show. This is rather well editted, I think, and proves that you can do a whole musical in the space of one song!

 

 

Set and lighting design by yours truly. Natty editting by someone else!

This one is a promo I put together of our shows for our casting dept:

All edited and (almost all) filmed by me. Some of my lighting in there. Plus all the graphics on the screens in the background were put together by me (all be it a lot of it is stock footage).

 

Couple of years old now, will be doing an updated promo for the website of next year's shows in March time.

Edit: just noticed I'm actually in it too (for about 2 frames, 0:34 back left, behind the 'lens flare' (that is covering our old company logo on the screen))

Here is a job I have just finished the get in for. It is in a Grade 1 listed building, church, and all rigging is temporary. Total costs (including lighting hire) >£500. Been a great project to work on with the amount of creativity you can use when your designing a rig from scratch and it has made the whole job a lot more enjoyable. We have used: 7 Selecon Pacific's (Hired), 2 x Selecon Acclaims (Own), 11 x Birdies (hired), 6 x Fresnel's (Own), 4 x Halogen floods (house lights, own), and lots of cabling!

OK.

Whilst I was nowhere near pleased with the overall look of the event due to the extremely limited lighting positions (4 Manfrottos each in a corner of the room and NOTHING else...) there were a few 'looks' that I liked about a 1-nighter I did for armistice day last Friday.

 

All I had to play with were 4 Mac 350 LED movers on the stands, with 6 S4 Pars, and 2 Mac 250 Entours on the stage floor - fortunately the stage had a newly painted white back wall as a cyc to project pretty backdrops on to.

Oh - and we had one of our RJ Marius follow spots for tight front light...

 

But it does go to show that within reason, you CAN do a fair bit with a handful of gear.

The ONLY reasons I hired in the movers was for the gobo variety (I do like the gobo variations on the 350s) and a bit of flashy stuff for the dance routines. It was after all a dance academy with some not half bad singers doing some solo bits.

 

Both the pics below could easily have been done with fixed lanterns gobos/rotators - both used combinations of different gobos in different colours. I didn't use the movers AS moving lights in many numbers, to be honest.

This is a show I was co-LD for with Michael Houlden, Sunderland Empire Stage Experience, kids summer school but with pro-production team inc. me. The idea was that we wanted to keep the show very dark and area centred, not lighting the whole stage for the sake of it. Photo's taken by Helen Dixon.
