Photos
I'm never sure why it takes our production manager so long to burn copies of photo CD's for the designers. I still have not recieved a disc from Rap's Hawaii from last year. I'm not sure my coworker received photos for ANY of the shows she designed.
And there they were...all 8 discs of archived photos for a Christmas Carol sitting on his desk. With laptop in tow I availed myself to them, copying 800+ photos to my hardrive.
No wonder it takes him so long...
Just flipping through 800+ photos is a time consuming feat. Eight hundred is an excessive amount for an hour long show. The sad thing is, most of the photos just aren't that good.
We use this photography because he's free, not necessarily because he's any good. The quality is that of any lazy photographer who, given a digital camera opts for quantity instead of quality. Instead of 50 immaculate shots you end up with 75-100 average shots. With maybe a gem or two. After you've edited out all of the less usable ones.
Such is my task now, since I can't trust the production manager to do it before I move off this island (that and the two of us have vastly differing notions about what makes a good production photo...for him its a full stage shot showing all the haze, light and set. For me it's one that actually shows a moment of interaction between at least two characters).
Perhaps I'll find a gem or two to throw up here. You all deserve to see the show that almost ended this theatre...
