chops update 7

so it's been a boring week-
Thursday and Friday of last week I sat back stage for the show that just got off tour- Stuart Little- moved a trashcan off stage, pushed on the "toy car" and walked a dress to the other side of the stage. we did four shows. (I was filling in for a chick who stayed home sick for a few days)

this week was the start of the kids camp- so I'm only working afternoons
Monday we met the 4 kids-then went back to normal work - I finished building a small platform type thing then put some stands on some surf boards that are supposed to look like they are stuck in the sand- we had some issues though because they wanted them standing straight up but they wanted the stands to be small-so they'd stand up till you just barely taped them- after trying 3 different ideas I finally came up with my own idea that actually worked-attach the hinges that hold the stand on sits about half an inch from the bottom of the board so the boards sit back at a slight angle.
Tuesday we started painting everything- I just lined all of the edges where we couldn't get with a roller, or needed a clean line (we ran out of tape)
Wednesday was more painting- then we helped the kids camp build small flats-both Broadway and Hollywood-
Thursday we finished the majority of the base painting and sat through a lecture about using Q labs video software.
Friday we were with the kids all day helping them pick costumes and props for their show next week. then we did some Q-labs work with their own pics- then we watched a run through.

sometime next if I remember to take my camera I will post some pics of the set thus far.


have a wonderful weekend!
