A Little FLAT Humor…

I recently got asked how a theatrical flat is built. Being the smart theatre kid I was… am, I saved my college text books.  Because hey, you might need them some day for a reference guide. But alas, when I needed them most, they were back home so I did the norm these days… I googled it.

I came upon a quick video from a miss Briannia Garcia from over 3 years ago.  A quick 2 minute video. I figure damn, time lapse, perfect.

Now Miss Garcia, please… PLEASE tell us you are trolling the hell out of us.  Take a look, it’s funny only because of how wrong it is.  I appreciate the attempt, but please, go back to your textbook.  I’ll lend you mine when I get back home.

Never Mess With a Spot Op

I had to share this comic.  A friend posted it up on Google+ and it made me giggle.  I have never read 9 Chickweed Lane comic. It follows 3 generations of a family through life and the arts.  It sounds as though every once and a while they hit lighting pay dirt. See more of Brooke McEldowney’s work on GoComics.

Let’s face it, a whole bunch of people on an energy savings kick right now.  And there is a good reason for that! Save our world, save our selves! Energy efficiency is not just some spin doctors words, they actually mean something.  Save and reduce your energy usage, plan and simple.  There are a number of ways to cut down on wasted energy in the home and on stage and work as well.  This weeks videos are some simple cartoons about energy efficiency, their both humors and give some great EASY examples.

Have a great rest of your weekend everyone!

Sunday YouTube Videos

Is it Sunday already? What happened to the weekend? Seems like it should be Saturday again. Since it is Sunday, it is time for another batch of Sunday YouTube Videos from around the intrawebs.  You guys sent in some pretty neat stuff this week all having to do with lighting of course!  The first one is an interview with a “cartoon” lighting designer via extranormal.com.  Basically, if you can write a script, you can make a movie. Who ever put this interview together… HI-LARIOUS! Next, pre-viz, oh what a wonderful tool!  This quick video from Pre-Visualization Studios gives a quote demo of a “simple” concert rig in action. Lat up, boiling down what lighting designers do in a a minute and forty-seven seconds.  I guess it gives a good overview for the general population that wonders how we do it.  It is an eHow.com video!

Excellent finds this week everyone, keep up the great work! Have a great rest of your weekend and rock it out this week!

Sunday YouTube Videos

This weeks Sunday YoutTube Videos are all over the place! The first, well, who doesn’t love bunnies, and the Princess Bride? Combine them and shorten it to 30 seconds and you get Bunnies in 30 Seconds.  Next, in honor of My 1st anniversary and Andrew Griffin, (@afgld), getting married this past week, a to funny first wedding dance.  Do yourself a favor and just ignore the cheap DJ lighting! Last, but not least, The kids from Auto Tune the news have done it again.  The things they accomplish are hilarious!

Everyone have a great rest of your weekend.  Kick some ass this week!

Sunday YouTube Videos

There are just to many viral and hilarious video’s on the web. I try an limit the Sunday YouTube Video’s to just three. With all the great video’s out there, I think I have enough to post through August! This weeks video’s are a crazy assortment of videos. The first being, yes a Vimeo video, but who cares, it’s still cool. This had to take some time to do with all the different angles and painting of “creatures”. The second video again is a Vimeo video of a guys pet lizard. And the last video is a re-mark or creation of a Seinfeld movie from clips of the show. With nine years of shows to go through, you can almost make any genre of movie from Seinfeld clips.

Everyone have a great rest of the weekend and TEAR IT UP this week!

Strand Lighting SLD96 vs Walkie Talkie

We received another email from faithful reader TN with a link back to YouTube with a pretty interesting video having to deal with Walkie-Talkies and a Strand SLD96.  While what is happening is not really explained, it does give some good pointers.  Don’t use a walkie Talkie around a strand rack!
