Week 1 - 443 days to opening night
Yeah, eh? Not smiling now, are you. Nooooo.
Y’see they all laughed at me when I said I was going to build a scale 3d digital model of the Regent Centre’s stage. And now? Well, they still laugh at me, but gawddammit the inner geek in me knows just how useful this will be as a director once finished.
I can use this model to design a set that fits exactly, can work out any storage space issues in the wings months in advance, rather than find out at the get-in that that all-important prop just won't fit. I can rig lights and work out a lighting plot with a realistic idea of how it'll look. I can block cast moves using this model - and see how it looks from any seat in the auditorium. See, it's not a completely stupid idea. Time consuming, yes, but not completely stupid.
For all you technology/software fans, we're using Cinema 4d, rendered out and then photoshopped.
For all you non-technology/software fans, yes I am wasting my life.
