hello from opera tech! i am happy at how comfortable i feel in this process. (not physical comfort sadly, since sitting on that board is NOT fun :) )
yes, there are lots of things that still need to be focused and yes, we have a ton of notes. BUT, when i am looking at the stage , i know what i need to do. and its so much fun. (that's good, right?!)
the thing i am happiest about is the fact that all of my "homework" paid off. the colors work, the angles work, i have all the pieces i need and everything looks considered and fitting with the show. i am also very comfortable with my cue list and managed to rough in most of the big looks for the whole show, so a lot of the work that is left is polishing the basic compositions and of course adding in all the little cues for the action/blocking/shifts. the BEST thing about the show so far? DEFINITELY the drop/scrim. it is SO gorgeous..posting pictures as soon as i take them!
things i learned so far:
1) you can fake anything: water effects, angle, sunlight through trees...you name it!
2) you don't need tons of different angles to do a convincing sunset
3) a little goes a long way
4) parked dimmers are your friend (thanks Mark!)
