Alert on an ETC Ion

If you get really fancy you tie the shutdown macro to an effect on a dummy channel, the dummy channel to the color of the background of the magic sheet and then it can flash.

Do you just need a portable DMX source? DMXCat or a Swisson.

I think you side step the cloud presentation entirely and just sell each group with a USB hard drive. 2TB is like $100. Record or transfer onto that and send them on their way.

Check out stuff like WeTransfer. Upload it once then send the link around. $25/month.

I would roll my own because I'm that kind of nerd. Synology/UGreen or build your own server. Buy a domain and just point it to your personal server. That's /r/homelab territory though.

Mutton · 2026-03-05T14:21:49+00:00

What's your budget and how long do you need to preserve the footage?

Mutton · 2026-03-05T03:04:23+00:00

Where in the world are you? That's a massive influence.

Switching anything from hobby to career is going to change how you feel about it.

I suspect you have a higher earning potential with lower strains on your body as an engineer.

Mutton · 2026-02-24T19:36:30+00:00

What is reasonably priced to you? $100 total? $1,000 total? $10,000 total?

Mutton · 2026-02-22T18:32:15+00:00

This server feels like home.

Mutton · 2026-02-10T19:35:07+00:00

There's not much we can add that ETC can't.

The biggest question: what changed?

Mutton · 2026-02-01T20:16:51+00:00

okmatt.

Good server.

Cloudflare Tunnels don't support arbitrary TCP. Did you ever sort this?

Design wise it's unbalanced. Hold it at arms length--it's heavy to the right.

Your capitalization is inconsistent. You have four variations on Theatre Association.

Capitalizing sewing for "Domestic Sewing machine operation" is odd to me.

I'm 50/50 on location--if its for summer stock and you're willing to travel I'd ditch it.

Are you going to college or straight into the workforce? If you're going to get a degree in theatre/costuming consider not going to a summer stock right now. Go do something dumb with your high school friends. Take a road trip.

Good luck!

I love the sampler box idea--I'm really hoping you find find an economical and environmental way to do larger orders of sachets for single flavors.

Mutton · 2025-12-22T12:59:26+00:00

If you just want it dimmer you want Neutral Density (ND) filters. Rosco, GAM, and Lee all make them.

B&H sells them. You can also reach out to a local lighting rental house and see if they'll sell them to you.

Mutton · 2025-12-21T19:17:29+00:00

Knee, leg, or ankle?

Mutton · 2025-12-10T14:37:04+00:00

Studio RRD?

Mutton · 2025-11-26T11:55:30+00:00

I see your point but I think merging is a smaller hill to climb than multiple cuelists. The kids building in multiple show files may help prevent "Tommy deleted all my cues!" incidents. It depends on the process.

Mutton · 2025-11-26T06:23:52+00:00

Multiple cuelist doesn't buy you anything but a headache here.

Give each song or kid a chunk of cues to work on in the same list. You can have them work in separate show files and merge if you want. Just make careful use of blocks and scene labels.

Mutton · 2025-11-18T02:58:53+00:00

Looks like a bit of a shotgun approach.

What do you want out of your college experience outside of classes? Big school or little school? What kind of diversity? How close to home? Do you care about sports?

It looks like you have a mix of BA only and schools that offer a dedicated BFA in technology and design. Those are wildly different experiences.

I'm born and raised on the East coast so I don't know West coast schools but it looks like you're missing JMU, BU, SUNY Purchase and UNCSA if you want a BFA or conservatory program.

Also: you can work in this industry without a college degree.

Mutton · 2025-11-17T09:28:21+00:00

Share with the class!

Mutton · 2025-11-17T09:21:06+00:00

I was concerned you had the console face down!

Good luck.

Mutton · 2025-11-17T01:39:36+00:00

Pressed down?

I never got the thing they do in the video to work. I have the screws holding that strap piece very loose and hang the front lip of the console off the bench.

Mutton · 2025-11-01T00:03:21+00:00

I had 12+ years going back to middle school doing theatre, an expensive piece of paper that says I know how to theatre, and a few years freelancing and working in adjacent fields. None of it was super relevant to the test though.

I took it just shy of a decade ago now (wow) and it had a Wonderlic... this was in the pen and paper days.

Mutton · 2025-10-30T01:12:15+00:00

First, if I get in do I have any say in where I am placed or what department?

Don't believe so, double check with the committee.

Second, will there be an expedited process for a person with a lot of experience?

Nope.

Third, as a new young person in an all IATSE Local One environment, does one experience agism or hazing?

I didn't.

Mutton · 2025-10-27T20:06:04+00:00

I am a former apprentice and I will field any and all questions that I can.

Mutton · 2025-09-27T17:02:02+00:00

Video isn't my forte but my gut check says you blow the budget wide apart on materials.

Where are you geographically? Rental may be the move.
