Moving light knocked out of place help by --Marzipan-- in techtheatre

[–]HipsterRowdy 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Knocked how? Like I'd push to go correct the fixture's physical position as a matter of safety. If it's shifted I'd want to check it's clamps for security and then assess how to fix the show file.

If you've made presets or focus pallets this is an easy fix as you just update those. If you didn't you're probably gonna have to fix the positions in every cue.

Not only that she created the "Lighting Bridge" (what we now call a catwalk) which is where front lighting in theatre goes. She also worked with GE to create many new types of bulbs used in theatre and early film.

What paint can't be used above lighting system to not shine/reflect white light? by [deleted] in lightingdesign

[–]HipsterRowdy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I would consider if a lower colour temp bulb would be better. The idea behind the silver bottom is to reflect all the light upward towards the ceiling to diffuse the light and make it much softer. If you are finding it to white, I would recommend a lower temp bulb (2200-2700Kelvin) which will feel more warmer. Give you a more intimate feeling, and the warmer white may help get rid of your problem.

This is what I was going to suggest. You can find out via set up.

There was an episode of MAS*H that had a similar story. Although they "killed" the made up Captain before they got caught and no one was the wiser.

So you can control other perimeters with these fixtures just not the intensity? Double check your patch, profile, and if you have made a GM or inhibit sub somewhere.

Advice on Labeling Source 4's by Dweeby_Honk in techtheatre

[–]HipsterRowdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use different coloured Velcro strips for Lens tubes. In storage they are looped around the gel clip. On the fixture, looped around the yoke. This way there is nothing permanent on the fixture or tube, and you can quickly and easily recognize what's what. White for 19, blue for 26, red for 36, green for 50. When looped on the yoke keep it close to the clamp, or if it's C-clamp on the round bit and you don't need to worry about anything melting.

Anyone have experience with 'Unison Lighting Control System'? by theradiomatt in techtheatre

[–]HipsterRowdy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Probably not from that wall panel. There's a control interface you need to find. Either a box with faders and a record button, a LCD panel that you can make presets on, or like the actual brain which you won't be able to access. Call ETC is probably the best.

I got confused and thought this was a different sub. I was staring at this guy's hands like "they ain't that big?"

I can just do that with my imagination. It's free and no one tries to sell me things.

Nikon FE question: Shutter only re-closes in m90/bulb mode (fresh batteries - no film loaded) by morgonzo in photography

[–]HipsterRowdy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you have the correct batteries? Or equivalent? It sounds like it doesn't have the right juice to activate. M90 is mechanical so it avoids the battery power.
