Tools of the Trade / Re: iPads

« on: Apr 29, 2011, 02:56 pm »

I love this discussion... earlier this year I worked to make my Ipad work for me as an amazing SM tool. I do all of my rehearsal and performance reports via filemaker Pro so I downloaded the File2go program that filemaker has made for the ipad, this along with a wireless keyboard (bluetooth) they are only 69.00 make the ipad priceless. I also find it invaluable in design and production meetings as being easy to take notes on and also display images and being able to pass around to the team with great ease.

I also use the SM tool program on the device as well and really enjoy it!

This is super, i do agree the biggest drawback for me is that some of your formatting that you spend time finessing is lost once its uploaded to google docs.

Tools of the Trade / Google Docs?

Was wondering what everyones experiences have been with google docs, I seem to find more and more companies liking that I use this.

Was curious about other SM's experiences

Thanks

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: Barrell-Through Tech

Thank you so much Mac that is great info.

Sadly, on this production I do worry about the preperation of some of the design elements, but trying to do everything I can to make it all as prepared as I can.  And having never done a Barrell-through before I wanted some other perspectives.

Due to our lack of hours available for tech (I only get 30 hours for the whole week including 3 days of tech and 4 performances) it will probably prove better to run the show as many times as we can.

oh wow, really?

Interesting...well I am the PSM of this show and the producers are highly advocating this method and so I am going to make it work.

We dont have many scene changes as its a tennis court configuration set with seating on the sides, and not much of a set... mostly its lighting, acoustic issues and sound cues.

Just curious about others' experience

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / TECH: Barrel-Through Tech

« on: Apr 05, 2009, 01:43 am »

Has anyone ever done what they call barrell-through tech... which is basically a tech theory where you just run through everything and not do a cue to cue and then fix things after the run through and keep doing this as your schedule allows.

Please tell me your thoughts on this or any experience with this

Employment / Re: Employment in NYC...getting back into the game.

Hey there-

I would recommend first networking with fellow SM's in NYC.  Look into Joining SMA (Stage Management Assosciation) that is a great resource as it will help with meeting other SM's but also you get job notices that dont appear elsewhere, so it proves very helpful.

Message me if you have any specific questions.
