I am begging to know how the projections work in the dome in dimension 20. Like specifically in never stop blowing up, who controls which projections come on and when? Is it brennan? The projections crew? A combo of both? Are the panels an led wall or are they using actually projectors? How many?? How small are those projectors? How big? How are those placed for the image to flawlessly cover the whole dome? Was mapping that a nightmare? Do they use qlab?? How goddamn powerful are those projectors to have such high quality and brightness? Is it a bunch of really powerful short throw projectors? Do they project from the back or the front? How do they do that? I want that job how does one get that job. Anyway shout out to all the tech/art elements of never stop blowing up and dimension 20 in general yall rule

High school theater is so much fun because literally everyone is unstable as shit, pretty much no one has their schoolwork fully up to date, we’re all exhausted, and there’s usually huge amounts of relationship tattering drama but during performance nights we drop all of that off and if asked, we would all still die for each other. It’s like the pinnacle of non negotiable found family.

whoever decided to blind write a bunch of theatre paperwork (costume plot, master prop list) I blame you for my lack of sleep. me. i blame me. also jorge and his inexplicable need for luke holt in so many roles. *tears hair out here* anyways it is 3 in the morning, and I need to move onto blind writing a cue sheet even though I have never done that before

also here is a link for others to join me in my madness:

I am always begging people to let me rant about my work btw. Technical Theatre is my passion and I NEED to talk about it. Also I've always got at least 10 complaints I need to get off my chest. Let me overshare. Pleaseeeee.

as someone who went to hs for tech because "it sounded fun" ive never related more to trevor watson. He hates what he does and he hates everyone he works with but he does it anyways and thinks he knows what hes doing.

the only difference is i actually (kinda) know what im doing.

*slides in* so tell me more about this Backstage Handbook?

It is a great technical manual to have in a tool bag or the like. It is illustrated and very useful and practical. It covers basically everything. It is not exhaustive, so it doesn't include everything you may ever need but it is the most practical manual I have ever come across. It was presented to me by my first technical director, after which I promptly bought my own. An amazon (blegh) link will point you in the right direction, but I am sure many may be picked up in second hand stores.

The Third Edition is the most recent, as far as I know, but any edition would be very useful for those just starting out.

15 YEARS OF STARKID!!

Whoahhh who knew me watching AVPM in my tech theater class my sophomore year in high school would lead to where I am now!? Due to the factor of watching Black Friday and NPMD on YouTube I found Angela. Realized that she works for Smosh (that sounds so crazy to say still not sure why🤣) Then that’s when I found my way to Smosh yet again, stopped watching for a while back then for a bit but then came back two/ three years ago!! And now here I am so thankful for this whole journey who knew how much of a blessing this whole journey has been and IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING!? 😍🥹

Thank you so much StarKid, Angela and Smosh I love you and you guys so much 💙
