But first a quick stop at the shop to see my piece of automation. That’s an 80″ television that moves across stage AND spins.
Here’s the board I use to operate this monstrosity. Seriously, you don’t know an 80″ TV until you’ve polished it yourself.
Couple of days in we found out the cable in our automation wasn’t working and needed to be taken down and replaced. Not the easiest job on earth.
What my hands looked like after a job like that. You’d be surprised how filthy these jobs can be sometimes.
Taken on the way home sometime around midnight. I love being able to take the bus home now. Just wish it was a little faster.
My PM helps me fix the alignment of my monitors so I can see the tv moving backstage. That’s the view from my booth looking at the monitor. Get your flashlight outta my face!
After a week of madness, it’s just me and this green button making things move. Well, and a number of other things including making sure nothing is broken.

Great post! It’s fun to see a little of what’s involved in the dreaded tech week.
PS- Gloves?
I wish I could use gloves! Sadly these kinds of jobs are safer without.
