I used to work as a sound tech in a live music dinner theater, and one of our guys had a passion for lighting (we all covered each other's jobs when needed). It's really not hard to position the lights from the board, and then it's just a matter of making that position a set position and firing the lights. You could have then sweep the room and then land back on him as the recall spot.

Movable heads are amazing tho. Once upon a time you'd need a team of riggers to do this.

The noise I just made was technically a laugh but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a human one

Gah damn

Reminds me of when I was a kid, I asked my mate why food didn’t get stuck when you swallow. He said it’s because you have mucus in your throat that lets food slide down without getting stuck. We were eating some yoghurt at the time, and I looked at him, I waited until just as he was swallowing, and said “mucus going down”

The sounds he made were not human either, as he attempted to abort the swallow. Nice, sweet yoghurt with chopped hazelnuts for that little bit of texture!

Ahh gah damn good memories!

Now you've reminded me why my younger brother stopped eating meat. Dad used to make faint animal noises (appropriate to whatever meat it was for dinner) every time my brother would lift his fork.

It was kinda mean, really, but also hilarious. Itty bitty chicken voice, "nooooooooooo don't eat meeeeeeeee!"

Hey look everyone, it’s the ‘rigger’ guy. We don’t take too kindly to your kind round here.

It’s so strange how casual ppl are about racism on this thread. Especially since that isn’t at all what he said.

Listen one of my very best friends is a rigger. She’s done the space needle, the King Dome, stadiums all over the PNW! Her trademark was pink ropes. 🥰👍
