Wizard of Oz Highlight reel

Here it is!  The project I worked so hard on earlier this summer, straining to teach myself more about Qlab and MIDI.  Made the best of a situation with very little gear, and I think we did some fine work as a result.  Special thanks to director John Regis for bringing me in and letting me loose, and to my student crew who did a fantastic job.

When I was first approached about doing this show, it was very vague and I was asked (by a third party) to come in and meet with the Lighting Designer. Before I got there, they then followed up with "you said you do sound...they need that, too." At my first meeting with John, I learned I WAS the Lighting Designer! But we hit it off so well, I was fine with overcommitting my talents to this show (Oz is a favorite).

So I needed to figure out how to run my lighting cues as well as my sound cues, without making myself crazy. Because John and I got on so well and riffed off each other, I ended up doing projection design as well. The only way I could do two of these things, never mind three, was to learn an integrated automation system like Qlab.
