yet again, camera phone snap shot and camera phone edited. today was a rather interesting day. got ready in a rush and changed outfits twice, i thought it was gonna rain so i went a little heavy with the clothing, changed into something lighter 'cause i'd be indoors anyways. showed up to class earlier than usual and just sat in the hall waiting for class to start. everyone in the smith center was pretty much just dispersed in different parts of the building. some were in the jackson, in the nummi, in the workshop doing hardward crap; i was in the jackson, we had to get the gel clips and put them into the frames for the lights. with the check list we'd get what ever slice of the colored transparent paper from the file cabinet of the correct size, of the correct color, and add it into the frame. class had ended and i was with the teacher; he brought up that i haven't been doing my lab hours lately and he was concerned. i told him that things have came up and stuff, but i told him that i'd be able to do it today even though that i had just made the decision right then and there. i can tell that he was happy that i made that choice. so i was left alone in the jackson theater to finish geling all of the frames by myself, i'd say there was about 100 frames, and i did them all by myself, from the brackets, to labeling with the grease pen. he showed me the gobos, which are the things that give the light within the lens some funky shapes and stuff. i asked him, " why are those lights still on? those two? even though on the master control i hit ' all off ' and their still on... " he told me that those lights were ghost lights, that they're always on, 24-7. i was scared when he left me alone in the big ass theater, you could hear the wind screaming against the walls outside. after that i went to the nummi, and got the control board to test out like all 100 lights to see if they were working, and then checked 'em off on the map. i had a couple decent conversation with others there, i usually never click with light or sound people, i usually can keep a conversation going with people of the hardware and power tools classes, so it was pretty cool to click with people from my class. i came home later and just knocked out.
