What was evident last night became critical today as everyone realized their assigned areas weren’t adequate for the projects they had planned. In my specific area, I was painting props as the video guys were hanging their cables over my head. Union guys were loading tables with a fork lift, just 12 inches behind me, and BJ was welding about three feet to my right. Similar problems were happening on the stage. The lighting crews were putting their trusses up and the video guys were trying to hang their screen before we painted the stage. But things worked out, as they always do.
My main problem today was the fact that no one recognized the props I was painting. We had created two I-pod Nanos that were over seven feet tall. Everyone that came by asked me what they were. Okay, I can see that the usual hand held programming device wouldn’t be taller than you are, but still a little recognition would have been nice. The same thing happened with our film strip. It ended up being more than 12 feet tall, so was a bit mind boggling as well. But I think that from an audience perspective, the props will be fine.

i would just like to say that from the audience stand point everything looked great. we could easily tell what everything was.
