If you like the tech stuff……..

I just wrapped up the Drama: Elements series  so it is time I begin a new one based upon the technical aspects of doing drama, which will include but not be limited to the following topics: 

  • Computer Systems
  • Video Editing Software
  • Final Cut Pro
  • Movie Edit Pro 12
  • Data Storage – External Hard Drives
  • Data Storage – Online Data Storage
  • the use of lighting & controllers
  • the use of composition
  • audio editing software 
  • screenplay software
  • stage design
  • Pre-production
  • Post-production
  • Fog machines & dry ice
  • Fiber Optics
  • The Sound Board
  • fake rocks
  • microphones and sound
  • communicating during the play
  • rentals
  • camera, film & DVD’s
  • copyright issues
  • The unusual – thinking out of the box.

    • Again, my goal is not to be the all knowing Wizard of Oz, but rather to have a channel to write down all that I have come across in my experience on these subjects. These are things I have just learned swinging by the seat of my pants, so to speak.

    Listen, I am sure there are expects on each topic but my point is to try to weave it together in such a way as to be a useful reference overall in putting a production together in a church environment; especially to those who are just beginning or those just struggling to get over the church drama hump. It’s gotta be fresh and exciting.

    I am also looking forward to exchanging ideas with those in similar (and not so similar) situations.

    So hopefully this is a series I will begin when I am 43!!! (Let the reader understand, my birthday is Saturday the 20th, and I will be on vacation until the 22nd)…;-)
