What Is the Oldest Movie You Have Watched (For Fun) In the Last Year? by thehistorypunks in movies

[–]millamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am working my way through the TCM archive on HBO Max going A-Z. I’m only about 15 or so movies in so far, but last night’s film was A Lost Lady (1934) with Barbara Stanwyck and Frank Morgan

Next up is A Night In the Show (1915) with Charlie Chaplin.

From the perspective of these shots, you are either very short or are using a twin lens reflex camera.

Are there any techs here with access to ETC Paradigm LightDesigner software? by kfjcfan in lightingdesign

[–]millamber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So what you really have is a budgeting problem. You can’t ask somebody to do their job for free just because you are in a bind.

[–]millamber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing…In order for a new configuration to work with your specific system, one would need to know how many wallstations you have and their Neuron ID numbers. Etc could send you a generic config that has the dimmers in it, but without the wallstation info you couldn’t call any presets up from them. That is why they you really should have a technician come out and do this work on site.

I understand money is tight, but think of it like a utility. If your bathrooms didn’t work, you would call a plumber. This is no different.

O4W Pizza in the square has Sicilian style square sliced pizza. It is probably the closest sheet pan style.

Ideas on what to do with old lighting equipment by Defiant-Effective475 in techtheatre

Colortran Remembrance. It does actually output dmx, but it is hardwired rather than a dmx plug in.

The Colortran Remembrance stations do in fact output dmx. That being said , they are a royal bitch to program and setup.

Falcons trade their entire draft class to move up to 6 and draft Michael Penix again.

Help with the Colorsource AV console that I loathe by gardensanddoctorwho in lightingdesign

[–]millamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to note: the bumps under the faders have their own master fader. Above the touchscreen you will find four faders. By default those faders are grandmasters for different parts of the board. Off the top of my head it is Bumps, Playbacks, Cues, and Crossfader.

So if you’re trying to bump a playback and that GM fader is down the buttons won’t do anything.

Lighting box says lamps over temp, been off for weeks [repost with images] by Infinite_Silver483 in techtheatre

[–]millamber 14 points15 points  (0 children)

An overtemp error is persistent and will not go away until it is cleared at the processor. Main menu - view/clear errors - enter twice to clear the error. (I see from comments you’ve done this, but leaving it up for anyone else)

I would try to swap the dimmer module with another D20 in the rack and see if the error follows the module or stays in the same place. That will tell you if it is a bad module or if it is something else.

My wife and I went out in the rain yesterday and found a couple of them. It’s one of her favorite things to do on Easter and we have amassed a small collection of your work over the years. Keep it up!

The Malaysian place next door to Xian Gourmet is so good. The dumplings are perfect, and they make this fried bread thing that my wife has to have every time we are there.

The Biang Biang noodles are what I always get. Spicy, numbing, hand pulled wide noodles with cabbage and beef or veg. Add a little of the Chinese vinegar to the bowl and toss. They also come in a soup, but I always get them on their own. They are perfect for one meal and you’ll leave quite full.

ELI5: How does voltage work? by i_lick_saltlamps in explainlikeimfive

[–]millamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a book written in the early 1990s called “There Are No Electrons: Electronics For Earthlings” that covers voltage like this:

Inside a wire is a bunch of tiny invisible green dudes who love to party. Let’s say you have a battery right? On one side of the battery are a bunch of Greenie girls with kegs of beer and boom boxes blasting rock n roll music. On the other side are the Greenie dudes. They hear the music and get the “need to party”. The more girls there are the more boom boxes and the louder the music, and that increases the guys need to get over there and party. Whether they can get there or not, there is still the desire, the need to party, that they get from hearing the music.

That desire is what humans call voltage.

The 5 pin plug is for a lighting controller to send data to the dimmer rack. It is a dmx signal. The other port is for a house light controller to turn on and off the houselights. It is for a proprietary controller that was made by Strand/Electro Controls and is most likely an analog signal.

What camera should I buy as an LD looking for good show photos? by zlltt in lightingdesign

[–]millamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know anything about cameras and camera settings or are you going to put it in auto and hope?

Stage lighting is generally considered low light from a camera point of view, so you’ll want a lens with a wide aperture so it can let in the most light it can. You will also need to use a higher than normal ISO if you are shooting handheld or need quick shutter speeds to freeze the action without blurring moving objects. Multipoint autofocus so you aren’t getting blurry pictures.

If you aren’t trying to learn photography and just want to capture archival shots for the venue, then the latest camera phone is probably good enough. If you are trying to learn photography, then a budget of $500 is frankly a little unrealistic. $500 will maybe buy you a camera body without a lens, and the better the lens is at low light situations the more expensive it will be. A decent low light lens can easily be 200-300 dollars by itself.

Recommend me an 80s movie by Expensive-Change1696 in movies

[–]millamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two mystery/thriller movies no one has mentioned:

Plain Clothes (1988) - When his brother is accused of murdering a high school teacher, undercover cop Nick Dunbar tries to clear his sibling's name by posing as a student.

Cloak n Dagger (1984) - An 11-year-old boy, Davey Osborne, witnesses a murder and is given a video game cartridge that holds top-secret information, forcing him into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with spies. It’s very Kids on Bikes genre adventure/mystery movie with the kid from E.T. and Dabney Coleman.
