I've always loved set day, but only to a certain extent. I enjoy cleaning the wood, taking out the trash, pulling things apart, painting or spray painting things, and even cutting the Styrofoam; but I do not like to actually build things. For example, the people who will build the Smokey Joe's platforms, I am extremely appreciative of them because building is not my favorite part. But, I have done it before and I will do it in the future if I am needed, but I would rather not do it if at all possible. So, set day was good for me because it wasn't anything too big to handle. I believe the set will play a humongous part in this play because a.) we use it for levels, b.) the ancestors and Mushu are constantly on the platforms. and c.) it gives variety rather than just your usual set. I believe the technical thing that will play the most part in Mulan is the lighting. First of all, without the lights we would be in the dark; second of all, when the ancestors use their "powers" to help Mulan there is going to be cool lighting there; and also with the avalanche scene there should definitely be some cool lighting. So, I believe the lighting will the most important technical part of the play because it changes as moods and situations change. But the sound also plays an important part because without it the audience wouldn't be able to hear us!! So, I guess every technical aspect of the theatre is equally important!!!
But, I think I would rather learn more about lighting.

My post about set day, sounds just like yours.lol. The techinical stuff in Mulan will be different. I think this production is going to be awesome, especially with all the cool set ideas and foremost the lighting. I cant wait to see what it looks like in the end.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about building the sets. I DO NOT know anything about anything when it comes to building sets. I have to go to set construction for smokey's, but i dont enjoy it at all.
