Definetely a painful day, but the stress was releived a bit at the end with the films, which are awesome. I am a little worried that something will go wrong with tracks or lights, but hey, that's what dress rehersals are for. Don't take it personally Coleman and Pibl, I have faith in you, but my instincts are never to beleive anything I'm involved in unless I have seen it first hand. What could possibly go wrong.
CHARELS- you ask what could possibly go wrong. well this is my short answer every thing. if you have herd of murphy's law then you know better, if not it basically means any thing that could possible go wrong will go wrong at some point or another. the only way to compensate for this is decrease the margin of error, but the problem with that is at the end of the day we are just humans telling machines what to do.
Today lets just say was interesting minus a few possible swan dives. there were times when i found my self extremely frustrated. for many reasons, a example of this when people wouldn't cooperate or listen. Today wasn't the most professional of days,many arguments and many people arguing when there isn't even a argument happening.
all in all when tempers flare walk away if it cant be resolved wit out screaming.
Coleman, as you and I both know from experience, this always happens during a dry tech and it's probably when people lose there tempers easily because they are trapped in the dark with people for about 3 + hours doing nothing but going through lighting and audio cues. It is entirely necessary, however painful it maybe,
yesterday was a very stressful day. There were times when I swear people were arguing with each other and they were both trying to prove the same case. It really took up alot of time.
charles, though coleman gave you a nice philosophical answer, I'm gonna say that many people, not just you, simply lost track of all the different cues, and with the speed that we tried to move at, it became more and more difficult to follow along. However, I can assure you 100% that all the cues are right. I spent extra time going through all the lighting cues with veno. Don't worry.
I was sick yesterday and feel better now. Everybody sent me their thanks except for Austin and Mr. Moore!!!!! Please send it to me. Also I need help for putting them on the program because I don't know the order and which section to put.
While I'm stuck in a glass box being fed applesauce and croissants yall are accomplishing great things!!!! I'm really phsyked that dry tech went well and that the shirts are here..I'm like 67% better now that i've heard this so i'm hoping to be good by tomorrow and to just do it!!!! Also i know all this is really stressfull but lets just sit back in awe and look at how far we've come..seriously...I"M FREAKING PROUD OF ALL OF US!!!!!
shirts will be handed out tomorrow to everyone as is tradition...wait just a bit longer austin... i know you can haha and Lizzie took notes for me today i was a bit shocked but it's nothing we can't fix so that's exciting
things are going well,many cues were not to fluid same with actors i feel like we can iron these out. i already have a plan of attack to make these better on my end, i hope actors can become more fluid as well we will see.
Lena we missed you and your creepy CTC makeup. Costumes looked great just so you know and the tweed and the bow tie came together very well, sorry I ever doubted you. Lizzy said we couldn't do the hair spray today, but we should tomorrow. Looked generally good from where I was, the numerous minor notes should be easy to impose, I just have to remeber to speak up and open up a little. This all looks great.
like coleman said, cues weren't too fluid today, but can easily be fixed. considering it was the first rehearsal with lighting/sound I think quite well. Hopefully it will only get better.
I think that once the cues are more fluid the actors will find it easier to perform, however, they shouldn't be relying on tech because, well Murphy's Law, as Coleman said it. I thought that today's performance was exactly how it should have been. A solid performace that told us what we need to improve upon. I thought doing notes at the end of rehearsal was a good idea, because we made sure that people were there to listen and comprehend what was being said. If you guys have any notes, you should feel free to say them or give them to me and I can read them for you. We're almost there. Let's do this.

ReplyDeleteEvonne-what do need from me to finish the program?
Austin - send Ms. Iorio an update on tickets.

I heard cue to cue was long, but decent. Quite a compliment from Harding.

got to love dry tech.

ReplyDeletePeople should just chill out and try to enjoy this experience more. I really enjoyed watching the lighting be created, but tensions were too high.
ReplyDeleteColeman - you are phenomenal. The personification of professionalism. You'll go far. I'm extremely impressed.

ReplyDelete"I say chaps, jolly good show what."
I basically agree with everything Coleman said and I was going to say the exact same thing but he beat me to it.
