Nook Schoenfeld commented on Kevin Lee Allen's blog post Layers, I do like me some Vectorworks Layers
"I like to keep my truss and lights on separate layers as well. Easier to make rigging plots from your drawings by leaving truss visible, but with no fixtures."

"Hey Bob, that's not a blog post, it's a commercial. Tell me what shows you are using these color force fixtures on. Put some pics up of the great shows that ILC illuminates. Like to see a shootout between these color force fixtures and the…"
Nook Schoenfeld commented on Justin Lang's blog post Time to Upgrade Your TV.... AGAIN. 4K is already here.
"You know, I don't watch much TV. I barely recognize the difference between HD and normal TV. When friends come over on Sunday, they often ask me why I'm watching football on normal TV and not the HD channels. It's cause the difference…"
Nook Schoenfeld commented on Jordan Nobel's blog post Hog 1000 Programming & Console Layout Advice
"When busking like this, I would never think of changing pages. The hog 1000 is brilliant because all of those palette/preset IFCB buttons up top can be easily turned into cue playbacks. Do what Brian says, absolutely.
I normally take one whole set…"

"I love this! Light...Shadow...and Video that enhances, not dominates. BACK TO BASICS! Yes!"
Nook Schoenfeld replied to cody stoltz's discussion Morphing/Cloning day to day on MQ
"What I do is renumber the existing lights by adding 1000 to the #. Then I move them up in the patch to some non existent universe of dmx you will never see.
Then add your new fixtures and number them with the same fixture #'s you just used on…"

Nook Schoenfeld replied to Elisa Goad's discussion What does the lighting résumé look like today?
"1 page
Tell me what your objective is
Tell me who you worked for and what duties the job entailed
Yes, make separate resume's that curtail towards the job you are looking to take.
For instance, rock bands don't care if you worked lighting…"

"Nook;
This is a note from a friend you simply haven't met yet.
You got me, sir. Due to reasons I shan't bore you (or anybody else!) with, initially I had a slightly less-than "macho" gut-level reaction to this post,…"

"Tracing is all done and good for 2d objects. Not sure how to trace a 3d object though. How do you copy that?

Really awful lighting, shame on you

So in the aftermath of the terrorist act in Boston, sporting events were suspended. Then after they caught the dudes responsible, they made a big bubba hubba about Boston strong. This was all good and I was proud for that city. Then, when they had a chance to shine, they blew it..., big time.
The Red Sox came back to life and had a large crowd complete with Neil Diamond singing at the park etc. It was a spectacular event well caught on all the networks. An outdoor venue…

Due to major oral surgery that has gone horribly pear shaped, the writer is in too much discomfort to write, Sorry, will hit you all up as soon as I am on the mend. I think there are only 2 things that can ever stop me from gigging. Tooth aches and back aches. Thank goodness I only have one of them at the moment.
Floss you idiot

Nothing impedes your programming like a hurting tooth. I can run shows with the flu. I've run shows in a recliner when my back was hurt and they wheeled a console on a rolling table up to my chest. But the one thing really impeding my programming this week is a busted tooth.
I admit it, I never flossed when I was young. I brush my teeth everyday, but couldn't be bothered with the 30 second it takes to floss. So as I enter my older years, I am paying dearly. With my second…

Every once in a while I get a gig that enables me to work with other lighting designers. I like that because I get to see how others light something in contrast to what I would do. This week I get to work with some old friends, Ken Ferencik and Steve Wojda. They do the production design on one of these large scale marching band shows.
This one actually takes place inside an arena. But that doesn't stop the band from moving around. The well choreographed 200 musicians is a pretty…

Last week I got to experience some incredibly amateur stuff take place. At a normally very professional gig. And while I can laugh about it now, it was ridiculous that I ever allowed myself to be put in this predicament in the first place. It wasn't my show, but it was my act playing on it.
I'm set up on an outdoor stage in California. We're shooting yet another song for another TV talk show. But it's windy out. And been getting worse as the day progresses. I got lots of toys…

- thank you nook I had to do a fly loop at the lil wayne show in laffayete. (they went through my boss for the lighting)

Nook Schoenfeld said… - A fly loop saves you time on load in. If you know that your trusses will trim at exactly 20', here's what you do. It consists of the cable that will run from the truss to the ground, prior to running to the dimmers side stage.
1. Run the multicables on to the truss on the floor and plug them in.
2. Take the cable from the end of the truss, and run it backwards, parallel to the truss on the ground towards center stage.
3. Once you have gone approximately 10', turn the cable around and go the other way another 10'
4. Run the rest of the cable back to the dimmers, figure 8 it on a nice neat pile and plug in the ends
5. Now when you run the truss up 20' in the air, your "fly loop" of cable will be in the air, your rig already tested, and you don't have to touch any of the cable a second time
