That asshole had us put in a fourth wall AND ceiling piece several times during the live audience shows. Talk about unclear on the concept... but there's a lot of that going around.<br /><br />Penny --<br /><br />I've seen your set decorator in action, and she's a real piece of work. Apparently this really is her world, and the rest of us are just cluttering it up. So it goes, we all have our crosses to bear... <br /><br />Kafka --<br /><br />Thanks for the vote of confidence. My New Year's resolution was to get the book underway this year, but thus far I've been working too much to make any progress. All in good time, I suppose.<br /><br />For the children... excellent!<br /><br />Thanks for tuning in.Michael Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569781786039595929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-54830441211126717342012-02-14T19:41:06.494-08:002012-02-14T19:41:06.494-08:00inesseinessek4kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887439417878804540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-59793290099027201852012-02-14T19:40:43.286-08:002012-02-14T19:40:43.286-08:00Another great essay exposing the dirty under-arm o...Another great essay exposing the dirty under-arm of what we love to call "show" biz". Priceless in-the-trenches lore which...hopefully...someday will be bound into a book.

(And you know how cold the stages get!)<br /><br />My current show has also PO'd the Audio Dept., as we've had a recurring Bistro set with all noisy wicker chairs. (Really???) And then Set Dec gets miffed when a three foot tall table lamp is removed because it's blocking one of the actors...? (Oh, FFS.)<br /><br />All right, that's off my chest. Thanks for the vent, Mike!<br />It's nice to know I'm not alone!<br /><br />xoxo,<br />Penny :)Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04106831324794353723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-50080343207186152562012-02-12T14:30:17.718-08:002012-02-12T14:30:17.718-08:00More and more, the single camera shows build ridic...More and more, the single camera shows build ridiculously big sets, right up to the fire lane, rendering rigging gaffer/gaffer and crew's job more difficult than necessary. oh, may i add the ceiling pieces from end to end are no friend either.hazel moteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243777594272583111noreply@blogger.com
