A job finished!

So the LX job is now over - been a while since the LX has been the ONLY thing I have had to do on a show!

Show went well, very well received, and besides a few quiet nights, the audiences were good.

My lighting design, which did get very expressionist at times, appears to be quite well approved of, which is good since it was my first design as a member of the Crescent - hopefully lead to many more!

5 Star Review

YAY, a 5 Star review for the production!

It is a very good review indeed, and a quick reference to the lighting is a rare mention for LX design!

Dead chuffed with that!

Oh, shine shine shine!

It has been such fun being an LX designer again without all the other jobs to do at the same time.  Seems to have gone well too - lighting  a thrust stage in a studio, with very little give for angles.

Still, a few extra perks I have added in have impressed the director and actors, which is always good.  We had a photographer in today too, taking snaps of the dress rehearsal.  He was impressed with the lighting but pointed out that some stuff from the sides was a bit dark.

How do you take that?  Well, graciously, and from a photographer, you really do listen to their feedback - they understand lighting and balance, so critical feedback gratefully received and will certainly act on it.  Nevertheless, tomorrow is an evening off!  A well deserved break!
