Revision as of 07:32, 14 July 2006

This is a beta page for the management of Improverts Technical for Fringe 2006. Obviously, I'll be watching this page like a HAWK, a HAWK I tell you, for rogue edits and I'll be laying the smackdown on anybody who tries any sabotage. Meanwhile if you have constructive edits, this IS a wiki. Get to it.

Music

Moments

Help me find tracks for all of those music-needing moments in an improverts show. The "got this?" column refers to whether I've got it, not you. If you've got it and I haven't, let me know.

Theme Tracks
Theme Suggested Track When you might use this theme Got this?
Heroic/Sad Adagio For Strings A hilarious re-enactment of the bit where all the soldiers get shot GOT
Elizabethan
Sinister Classic "It Only Gets Worse" music required
Horror Psycho Theme For playing when someone is actually getting stabbed or something NO!
Cheesy Disco Obviously there's loads of stuff we could use, but what should we use?
Hardcore Rave It's not cheesy disco

Games

Many of these games have themes already, but maybe we can update them a bit. If you know of a game that isn't listed, LIST IT! Because I sure as hell don't have a list.Improverts Game List

Die
Suggestions welcome (we do have an intro for Space Jump, after all)
Emotional Rollercoaster
Suggestions welcome (currently using Chris’s’ 'love rollercoaster')
Sports Commentator (?)
Grandstand (or can we do better than this?)

there is actually two intros for commentator one to introduce the game and one to start the scene (could swap it with ski Sunday at some point)

News games
ATM we only have a news theme for the start of the scene, do we want something for the intro?

I also think we should have some generic tunes for when a new (or just unexpected) game comes up (we have used endowment like this at times can we find more songs to fill the gap)

The Team

If you want to join the team, I suggest you email me at xander@beefour.com rather than editing this list directly - you won't end up on the email list I keep in a secret place on my secret webserver and thus will probably miss out on some important announcements in the future.

Imps Team 2006
Name Preference Core Team? Availability Notes
Alistair Marshall Both PEND
Chris Stephen Sound 21st - 25th August (+ adj. weekends)
Colleen Patterson Training(Lights) PEND Available from 23rd July
Dave Larking Fill-in PEND Can rehearse evenings and weekends
Felix Trench Fill-in Around towards the end of the Fringe for monkeying
Heather Hanshaw Lights PEND
Helena Larkin Training(Sound) PEND Is also Box Office Manager
Kati Hind Lights PEND
Lauren McLeod Lights PEND Happy to fill gaps
Marcus Roche Sound PEND
Nicola Cross Training PEND
Rachael Monteith Lights PEND
Richard Bell Sound PEND Mostly panicing about his project but could be available in an emergency
Ruth Wilkinson Lights Yes
Tom Gregory Training/Fill in PEND Available most of August, but unable to attend rehersals.
Tommy Galliano Training PEND Available from 1st August

Preferences

Lights
Will be scheduled to operate the lighting desk
Sound
Will be scheduled to operate the sound desk
Training
Has expressed an interest in learning tech and will be scheduled to second desks in the first few weeks (hopefully operating later)
Fill-in
Insufficient time to train, will be called on to folo, and maybe second a desk occasionally

Preliminarily, desks will be scheduled with two operators for any one show. The operator will usually be familiar with the equipment and with the nature of teching an Improverts show. The second may or may not have the same familiarity, and should have the chance to learn in order to operate later in the Fringe.

A preference implies that you will be able to handle operating the specified desk on your own.

Anybody can second any desk, and nearer the Fringe I'll be trying to timetable people onto desks that they are particularly interested in messing with and/or learning.
