- [00:00:00.230](serene upbeat music)
- [00:00:12.250]So they just cleared out a show yesterday
- [00:00:14.440]and we're already back in here today preparing for January.
- [00:00:18.148](tape ripping)
- [00:00:20.430]We tape spots on the floor.
- [00:00:22.160]That's gonna be like our widest points
- [00:00:23.710]so that we can run an entire length of tapes.
- [00:00:26.890]So it's just basically mapping out the space that we know
- [00:00:29.450]like how much we can put other people and things in it.
- [00:00:32.782](tape ripping)
- [00:00:34.330]This one is a whole another level of 150 puppets
- [00:00:37.590]and we're tryna all has to fill backstage
- [00:00:40.550]and we have to make sure that we're not too far away.
- [00:00:42.640]Cause when we don't see the puppet or it's out of focus.
- [00:00:44.570]And it's just a layers
- [00:00:46.290]on layers of details compared to other shows.
- [00:00:48.984](metal clanging)
- [00:00:51.681]So we're taking a couple of minutes to do a test.
- [00:00:55.240]We're checking some fabric and some UV paint
- [00:00:59.040]and to see how that will interact
- [00:01:00.940]with the fixtures that we're using,
- [00:01:02.870]just so that we can make sure
- [00:01:03.760]we get it right the first time.
- [00:01:05.020]So we have our lighting designer.
- [00:01:06.690]Who's obviously here to do the light test
- [00:01:08.160]and make sure the puppets look good.
- [00:01:09.680]He goes to the tree.
- [00:01:10.900]So these disappear and he slides over to the tree.
- [00:01:13.370]Jill, who's our puppet designer,
- [00:01:15.200]making sure that her puppets look like they're supposed to
- [00:01:17.100]in the light and then just some other technical directors
- [00:01:19.940]and things to make sure that everything is safe
- [00:01:22.220](wheels rumbling)
- [00:01:24.140]and that the set itself is looking
- [00:01:27.020]like it should in the space.
- [00:01:28.890]So we just have to make sure we're ready
- [00:01:30.360]before we actually bring actors into the space.
- [00:01:33.080]Can you grab one of the puppets
- [00:01:35.210]and start to slowly pull it up stage?
- [00:01:38.100]I'm really excited to light puppets.
- [00:01:39.610]It's a first for me.
- [00:01:40.960]And it's a unique challenge
- [00:01:42.510]that I think should be quite fun.
