bio box
Sat, 23 Sept 2000, 08:10 pmI have been pondoring this question for a while now and have yet to come across a person who can actually tell me the real answer. Where did the term 'bio' as in bio box come from. We all know what it is but what does it mean?

However I think it has enhanced Theatre, with all it's spinoffs, rather than destroy.
Lets face it what would budding directors and actors do without 'The video' of the show they are about to do - they might have to use more than two brain cells or even their own imaginations and/or use that four letter word and 'work' for IT? While this is not a totaly bad thing, by the same token it ain't the best at times either. Especialy when they try to stage IT to conform with the Movie - they don't seem to grasp the concept that TV and the Flicks transport the audiance from place to place inside the camera and we don't have this technoligy yet - maybe if we build theatres where the punters sit in the centre of a revolve and we move multiple stages around them or vise versa, the bums on seats could be fixed in the centre and the stages revolve like a hub into view - I think this needs a lot more work, because we would have to supply bicycles to the actors (this would have to be the "second most dangerious thing in theatre" - the first being an actor with a power tool!) - I 'fink I better 'fink IT out again?
We have used a lot of jargon that has come out of the 'Flicks' - such as 'GOBO' - 'LX' - 'Pan', there must be a lot more but at the moment I think of any - maybe others can add to this.
