Tomo, I think you'd appreciate this:
I was working this Shakespeare show where the lead bimbo was the meanest b*tch you ever met--no one liked her--not the other actors, the production staff, or the technical staff. So one day, calculating my revenge with my fellow lighting techie [name removed to protect the guilty], we plan the following: during her aside, we locked 6 Martin's on her (the Hog II made this all too easy), then clear the gobos and set up a cue that would flash the shutter once. It was a thing of beauty--she thought she'd been struck by lightning or something, utterly freaked out. As for the technicians, we just geekspeaked our way out of taking any blame..."musta been a glitch on the DMX bus." |
