This year, I mixed for Kyle Reed’s band at Carmel Porchfest. This was a pretty standard little gig (minus the fact that they are a fantastic band - I’m honored to have been able to do this for them), but I put it here because it’s the first gig that I’ve really done like this! We also did a multitrack recording of it, which I’ll link here once we publish it somewhere.
I was a part of the livestream team for UHS’s 2025 commencement ceremonies.
For this production of Annie, I mixed all of the talent mics and also found and ran a few audio cues. Also, I helped manage all of the mics and beltpacks, and I helped a lot with focusing (and a bit with programming) lights in the weeks leading up to the show.
For this show, I mainly just found and ran audio cues. We didn’t mic the talent for this, so that was kinda all there was left for me. Also, I helped with focusing lights for this show, including helping out a bit with choosing out and installing some foresty gobos which looked pretty neat (and a very nice looking blue-gelled jail light).
For this show, I ran the projections. I don’t think I have any photos of the setup, but we put a laptop and projector on top of the booth (usually the spotlight is up there), and I sat up there and triggered the cues. We hired a projectionist to design the projections, and they used Isadora to create them.
For this production, I was on stage crew. For the most part, I just moved things around the stage, and didn’t really do much else. Before the production, I did help a lot with building the set, and I believe I also helped a bit with focusing lights.
For this show, I was the lead lighting designer. This was my second time doing lighting things, so they weren’t great lol, but I had fun at least. We had just upgraded to a new ETC Express board (well, new to us, I think it dated back to the late 90s), so this was also my introduction to ETC systems.
For this show, I was the lead lighting designer and board operator. This was my first time ever doing lighting things (or even doing theatre tech things at all!), so it wasn’t fantastic, but I definitely had fun doing it and I learned a lot about how lighting stuff works.
