Barbara Bell <Barbara.A.Bell at williams.edu> if you have questions.

Thanks,

Cosmo

Message-ID: <8237A8DD-4753-4F82-851C-4E1F128EEBD6@brandeis.edu>

I'm offering a sound design course this summer at Brandeis. Didn't  
get enough students
last year so trying it as a night course this time. It's conceptual  
sound design, not system design.
No musical or audio experience required.

If you think it's of interest to anyone and have a place to post it,  
it's here:

If the link doesn't work, I can email it privately, this message got  
bounced last time
for being too big with the file attached

If you know of any other places to send it, let me know-

Thanks

Dear all,

 

As we have discussed at USITT, Susanna and I will be working on the
first step towards meeting our New England props needs - namely,
creating a directory of places to borrow things from so we are all on
the same page.  To that end, could you answer this short questionnaire
about YOUR institution?  Also, I'd appreciate off-list suggestions of
theatres/schools you use to borrow things from that I might not know
about.  Nothing is too silly to be included (i.e. Turtle Lane Playhouse
lent us a fake piano that was perfect after I'd seen it in a show
someplace else, otherwise we might have never known about it...)

Rental fee? Yes/no

Thank you so much!

I appreciate the video dowser responses earlier, which showed me that a
number of people are dealing with projections in shows. I'm serving a
heavy projection show (mostly stills, some video) with PowerPoint on 2
PCs and I'm really unhappy with the transitions, which are far too rapid
and inelegant even at the "slow" speed. I've been all over the internet
for a hack or alternative product that will let me specify fades, with
no success. Does anybody have suggestions of PowerPoint hacks or other
products they've worked with successfully that can achieve, say a 5 or
10sec dissolve to the next slide?

We've dealt with this same problem, and the only way we were able to solve it is by changing computers.  KeyNote (which is a Mac only program) is the Apple answer to PowerPoint, and it allows for timed transitions (very smooth, any timing you would like) and it allows to embed video.  The downside is that you have to be on a Mac...

Or Qlab will do it - but again, mac only.

If you want to do it in hardware the extron ISS506 does very nice fades between up to 4 computers - it goes up to 5 seconds.

Thanks all for your responses. We have a PC campus but the arts still
seem to be a Mac world. I had considered Isadora, from a piece in Stage
Directions. Shouldadoneit. And I guess it's time to rethink our
computing platforms as projection gets more attention in both dance and
theatre.

If you're on Mac,
There's a great fairly new sound program called Qlab that has a  
projection component.
The sound side of the program is really excellent for the price, and  
I've heard good things
about the projection capabilities, but have no direct knowledge of it.

I've used it for a HUGE show (about 1500 images and about 5 videos) and we discovered that there are some peculiarities to programing it for something huge like that, but it worked great.

If you're on Mac,
There's a great fairly new sound program called Qlab that has a  
projection component.
The sound side of the program is really excellent for the price, and  
I've heard good things
about the projection capabilities, but have no direct knowledge of it.

Dear all,

 

As we have discussed at USITT, Susanna and I will be working on the first step towards meeting our New England props needs - namely, creating a directory of places to borrow things from so we are all on the same page.  To that end, could you answer this short questionnaire about YOUR institution?  Also, I'd appreciate off-list suggestions of theatres/schools you use to borrow things from that I might not know about.  Nothing is too silly to be included (i.e. Turtle Lane Playhouse lent us a fake piano that was perfect after I'd seen it in a show someplace else, otherwise we might have never known about it...)

 

School/Theatre

Contact person

Phone number

Rental fee? Yes/no

Have images? Yes/no

Hand Props yes/no

Specialty Items (describe) (i.e. Audrey from Little Shop, antique wheelchair, statue of David - whatever you have that is unusual)

 

Thank you so much!
