Tools of the Trade / 1/4" Glow dots
« on: Aug 23, 2011, 11:45 am »
I have been using glow dots recently to subtly mark stage edges and other hazards.  I know that many of you do the same but the only method I know of to acquire them is the make them myself with a hole punch.   I find it extremely tedious and time consuming to manufacture and separate the dots and the paper.  I find that dots work better than strips.

I am looking for 1/4" dots on a sheet (like stickers)  Rosebrand and other dance supply companies provide as small as 1" dots but that doesn't really work for our purposes.

Any ideas?

Thanks

all those cheap motorola headsets have a 'roger' option (the chirp) that can be turned off if you check out the instructions.

I have had extreme success with a program called Microsoft Visio.  It is a fairly expensive program that is used to substitute paper templates/stencils in engineering, cartography, hvac, etc.. I built my own stencils and used them for cues with different shapes for different kinds of cues and different colors to distinguish cue type.  The stencils have a text function so that each cue can be labeled with the cue number ..I scanned the script as jpgs and just dragged them into the program.  The fullscreen option allows you to call the show like a real book, using the left and right arrow keys to turn the pages. 
   Ms Word allows similar functions with dragging scanned pages into the document and gives you the ability to resize and enter in shapes and text boxes and lines that to indicate location in script that can be moved around for paper tech and filled with different colors.

I am using MS Visio for the first time tomorrow in Paper tech for my prompt book.  I would be interested in a screen shot of your book to see a visual of your ideas.  I too am hoping to save time and money in this tedious process.
