Whipping - Lashing 'n getting Knotted?
Sat, 2 Aug 2008, 10:37 pmWhat type of knotting skills do you have or even like to resort to with whipping, lashings & splicing. Should a Techie get involved, be able to perform, use them &or why?

Computerised Fly systems
Mon, 1 Sept 2008, 01:05 pmComputerised Fly systems tend to worry me. Not having worked one, except a long time a go in a TV Studio, who had a semi automated system. Which was press Button & operating electrical motors.
There was always the unknown factor of the performers, not twirlies though, they were always in the right place at the right time. Which unfortunately can't be said of other performers & our dear luvvies. I wonder how automated fly's would work with ameatre bods? Even the best programming would not be able to cope with errant warm props. Although if it has an operator who can quickly adjust sequence's & of course the dead man switch would help in these cases.
Great site Logos it was an opener to what is available &/or what we may experience in comeatre some time in the distant future.
