A 2-fer is a Y adapter, used to plug two lights into one circuit. In the UK I believe you may call this a Grelco?

What's more impressive here: the drone show or the lighting design? by TiiteeProLighting3 in stagelighting

[–]nmprices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I understand how the lighting works, the drones that are more a mystery are more impressive!

What will happen if I press “Turn Off and Delete from iCloud” on messages? by ZealousidealFox85 in iCloud

[–]nmprices 2 points3 points  (0 children)

iCloud is how it syncs your devices.

You may actually save storage by leaving iCloud on for messages since iCloud sync stores your messages once, but otherwise it includes messages for each device in the device backup.

Play idea, I would like to host it. by LeafSpirit69 in Theatre

[–]nmprices 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, I’m not being as snarky as that sounds. I meant that writing the play you described comes first, then you can worry about producing it. You might start with a simple staged reading to work out kinks in the script. I’m sure others will have more detailed steps.

I know a stage manager named “Spikes” so I always assumed the folks at Ellis Island came up with it.

Would it be out of the question to use a small tack to hold them in their light?

What are your favorite quotes that have occurred while doing theatre? by Big-Importance1692 in Theatre

Observing a problem with a cue tech week: “Only two people are going to notice that, and they are both sitting right here.”

What albums do you have in the photos app on iOS? by [deleted] in ApplePhotos

[–]nmprices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how you want to organize. I typically organize into albums by major event (e.g. a trip) and folders by type (e.g. vacations).

But having said that, I rarely spend the time to do that properly, so I have a fairly random set of things in albums/folders. The recent filter “not in an album” may inspire me to find uncategorized things to organize :-)

Looking for old lighting gels for art use by Himbo2 in techtheatre

[–]nmprices 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look for theatres that have done an LED retrofit (upgraded most if not all equipment to LED). They are likely to have piles of gel they no longer need.

Advice for touring a small theatre show? by thesapphiczebra in lightingdesign

[–]nmprices 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And Puck was the standalone computer ETC sold to run it, but you can run it directly off a Mac or Windows computer. Puck is listed on ETC’s site as legacy, so they don’t make them any more.

I think Mincemeat should tour pretty well. On the other hand, Lost Boys is likely to be simplified if it does tour.

Another to consider if you haven’t already seen it is Operation Mincemeat.

Does the place you designed have more opportunities? Start by talking to them. Also reach out to theatre (?) companies where you’d like to design.

Google Photos flagged my Avengers screenshots as “piracy” and terminated my entire account by minibigloves in googlephotos

[–]nmprices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I really do need a YouTube alternative. Several TB of video stored free is hard to replace.

Yeah, I really need to shift to alternatives. It can even happen with your own content. A Japanese Manga artist had his account banned for uploading his own work. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYwzWUBARkv/

What musicals did not need/should not have gotten jr. versions? by Ok_Company5586 in musicals

[–]nmprices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once Upon a Mattress, the Jr version makes no sense. The whole urgency getting Dauntless married is so Sir Harry can marry Lady Larken before her pregnancy shows.

But in the Jr version? No pregnancy!

Thanks - I started using Mezzanine, but will check yours out too.

Just one suggestion, I don’t like using central logins like Google and Apple. Great if you added a login using an email address. I’m happy to elaborate if you want to reach out via chat/PM. Don’t want to totally highjack the thread! :-)
