[22:46] Nad0725: funny how you are involved with almost everything that corrupted me
[22:46] Nad0725: and i thank you for it from the bottom of my heart
Hehehe...been an ok weekend. Spent most of it with my boy, so that was cute. We chilled out mostly...Jacob took me to dinner, and then we found my Tequila Rose (which will be the death of me, lmao) which Jeanne introduced me to in Utah, so I was content for the weekend. On Sunday, I did the dreaded "bringing the boy home to meet the family" for Easter. It could have been worse. My family basically ignored us, but I guess that's usual for me.
Work was kind of good, but also annoying in some ways. I got a lot done on my lighting, but at the same time got some criticism for my last design. Now, grant you, my last show wasn't spectacular. I was still volunteering at the time, and only had, what, 4 days to design, hang, focus, and cue? So yeah, it wasn't the greatest, but neither was the damn play, so I wasn't overly concerned. Well, the criticism came with the filming of the show. Ok, that should throw up a big red flag of "Duh!" to anyone familiar with both live performance and film. There is a HUUUUUUUUUGE difference between lighting for human eyes and lighting for film. About 3000 Watts per instrument difference. Of course the lighting looks like shit. Using home quality cameras and stage lighting...ever heard of amber shift? Grr. I know that they just want me to be my very best, and yeah, it's true, pissing me off is the best way for me to break out of my bounds. But yeah...it made me angry. However, this design is (technically) looking good. I'm feeling a bit more confident in that space. It's so awkward; very short, and not a lot of throw distance, combined with piss poor lights. But hey...I live to make something out of nothing, right?
Design-wise, this show is lacking. We never really have any kind of desing concept or attempt at communication here. I hope we can change that.
Also got disappointing news from several bands this week - a couple with members quitting, and other bands dissolving completely. It blowed for indie music this week.
So, I'm annoyed and frustrated overall today. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
