Tools of the Trade / Camera Relay Software

« on: Nov 22, 2013, 07:21 pm »

Howdy SMers,

Apologies if you've seen this post on other technically inclined forums.

I've had a good look on the forums and so far have turned up no dice, so I'm hoping you'll know what I'm talking about.

I'm looking for a piece of software that can take a live camera feed from the stage, and then overlay it with show call information, such as item numbers, times, running order, etc, for redistribution to the venues CCTV system.

From memory it was a Mac app that could run off a Mini, but I don't recall any other info.

I could have sworn I bookmarked it on the forums but I can't for the life of me find the link again.

Any help or other suggestions appreciated!

Employment / Jumped on Board Too Soon

« on: Aug 14, 2011, 08:18 pm »

Whenever it rains, it pours.

I've been doing the job hunt for the last two months or so, and had mixed success, but yesterday I jumped on board a profit-share production that rehearses next month, and performs immediately afterwards.

Of course, not three hours after saying that I'd come on board, another offer arrives in my inbox for a position next month, with a substantially more attractive financial incentive, shall we say. I'd like to say that I do it for the love, not the money, but we all know that's not exactly true.

Just wondering if anyone here on SMN has been in the potentially awkward position of wanting to back out of a production only the day after saying you'd sign on? (Should point out that nothings been signed here, only word of mouth.) Do I send off an application to job #2 and see what happens? If job #2 pays off, what's the etiquette for letting job #1 know it's not going to happen?

Sincerely,
confused
