Where in MD are you going, omnis?
'Out Of Gas'
Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
The wedding is in Bethesda. I was looking at the Hyatt, since they do the reward points with my Credit Union. I'm looking at the Bethesda Court now, since a few of my other friends are staying there. The wedding will be at the Mansion at Strathmore.
In show news. The actors, keeping with the heaviness of the show. The actor playing Adam, a very dark skinned man, walks into the house wearing a very white robe. And wearing black boxers, flashes everyone. In the low light of the theater, the high contrast made him look like a stripped Ken Doll. It was funny. I don't think I'm doing it justice.
omnis- as long as I have you here- what is your actual job title? We have a student master electrician who does lights, and the student who does sound and video is called the "audio-visual engineer" . I am thinking there is a more official title?
At my current job it is Sound Supervisor. At my old job, where I did the same thing for a different company, it was Audio Engineer.
Thanks! Sound is sort of a mystery to me, as a costume person!
and the reverse is true for me as well.
Thank you omnis. I think Sound and costumes are the most divorced from each other-- except when people have microphone packs!
I'm watching Sober House, a Celebrity Rehab show. It really seems like "on national TV" is probably the worst possible way to do rehab. Definitely seems like the sort of thing that could use some privacy.
Anyway. One of the patients is the drummer from Guns n Roses. Voiceover said, "Guns n Roses invented sex, drugs, and rock and roll." Um. I'm pretty sure that sex and drugs have gone along with rock and roll for pretty much as long as there's been rock and roll.
Sound is a bit on it's own in general. It's the only non-visual of the design elements. The only other group that has some understanding is typically lighting, but that is only because we both use wire. After that, many lighting folk are all "huh".
I can see that omnis. I always feel like costumes is on it's own (with props) because we deal so closely with actors and fabric, so it is interesting to hear another perspective. It would be funny to hear that set and lights felt isolated too!
ETA The sound designers are usually my favorite designers that come in, though, beause they tend to be mellow, relaxed and kind.
