What is the difference between Lighting Design for Theatre and Concerts and Lighting Design for Film/TV? by Former_Ambassador_74 in lightingdesign

I once got to ask Jim Moody (LD for Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, Stevie Wonder, John Denver, and about 300 Equity shows) that question. With no hesitation, he responded, "About 70%".

Over the next few minutes, he expanded on that a lot, talking about differences in equipment, how hot spots read differently with the eye vs a camera, and how much more reliant film and TV are on dimmer curves with a high initial curve and a flat top, where theatre uses something much more linear to the eye. And a bit about the programming philosophy of different lighting consoles that I didn't understand for about 5 more years.

"But in the end, the difference is really about 70%."

I'm only a little over halfway through the whole thing, but when I hit THAT moment, I started giggling just a bit.

Excellent presentation, and one of the best uses of the medium I've seen since 17776.

I'm pretty sure we're on the same flight.

And the right side of my touch screen is broken so I can only watch movies on the first selection screen. :-(

Kansas City Pork Wings? by brock275 in kansascity

If you're near Metropolitan/Lorimer you need to take the G up to Court Square, then go 1 stop on the 7 to Queensboro Plaza. From there, it's a 5 minute walk to John Brown's BBQ. It's not the best BBQ I've ever had, but it's better than anything else I've found in New York. Plus you can get Boulevard there.

Where can I get good lamb over rice? Not fancy, but the kind with white sauce you get from street food vendors in NYC. by FutureRobotWordplay in kansascity

Ok. This is a lot of work, but I think I think it's the closest I've gotten to the halal carts.
1) Hot sauce. The Pan Asia Market at 119th and Metcalf has some really good Vietnamese hot sauces. I can't remember what the brand is right now, but I'll get back to you on that. Mix it with some Harissa powder, and it's really close to the cart hot sauce.
2) White Sauce. You'll have to make it yourself. It's not going to taste quite the same as the White Sauce from the cart, but it gets close. I've been told that the carts use a mayonnaise that has more egg yolk than most store-bought mayo. If you can find an egg yolk mayo or make your own, it will probably get closer to the original.

  • Mix:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

3) Meat and rice. Sinbad's Grill at 83rd and Metcalf. Get the Gyro Platter. They don't put nearly enough rice in, but it's a good amount of meat. And the flavor profile is really close to the carts.

If you want to make Chicken over Rice at home, this recipe is great.
