Come Join the team!!! -Ford From: Stagecraft On Behalf Of Ford Sellers via Stagecraft Sent: Tuesday, May 2, 2023 12:51 PM To: Stagecraft Mailing List Cc: Ford Sellers Subject: [SML] We're Hiring Hi Folks, We're hiring. Specifically, I need one or two "Product Development Technician(s)" in our Florida HQ (Near Ft Lauderdale). If you have recent grads, or know someone looking for a 9-5 gig, PLEASE pass this along to them. This is a career-track position. There is opportunity for advancement, and Chauvet continues to be a rapidly growing company. This is above entry level, but we're not averse to hiring someone new to manufacturing, if they have lighting production/repair experience. Pay is negotiable based on experience, but a decent candidate would start in the 50s, and an exceptional candidate would likely start in the 60s. This role is a key component of our product development team. This person will work closely with our Product Managers (and sometimes our Outsource Manufacturing Partners) to bring our products from the spit-ballin' phase all the way to market, and beyond to retirement. You'd primarily be focused on pre-production Sample evaluation and testing, and testing new software revisions in our launched fixtures. We occasionally assist our Customer Service team with difficult/unusual challenges affecting released fixtures. Experience as a lighting technician and with repairing electronics are key qualifiers. Experience as a trainer would be a boon (as the Product Team provides training on new products to our QC, Customer Service, Marketing, and Sales teams). A day in the work-life might include testing photometrics on our goniophotometer, evaluating initial prototypes (everything from electrical safety, to software, to ergodynamics), testing and confirming product specifications, working with new samples (upgrading samples with new parts, checking software layout/functionality, confirming DMX/RDM/Artnet/sACN functionality), testing console personalities, working with GDTF files, maybe a little CAD (if that's what you're into), and most importantly providing written feedback on whatever it is that you're working on. Here is a link to our recruitment page: https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?cid=e825e1c4-7bdf-4d8d-9e01-4b299d6c0a8f You (or your friend/student/colleague) can apply right on the webpage.

K Guncheon* This production contains a dream sequence. This production contains strobe lights. Also loud noises, haze, and at least one (if you?re lucky) poorly interpreted character. This production contains a rain effect, which occasionally drenches certain areas of the audience. (Please Note: Dry audience areas are reserved for our season ticket holders. Wouldn?t now would be a fabulous time to ask about how you too can become one of our season subscriber angels?!!) This production contains strong language? but not in any valued literary sense. There are no memorable lines, witty jokes, or pithy observations whereby characters muse in a way that allows the playwright to make larger points about the human experience. There are merely words your dad grumbled while watching the game or your mom muttered when she couldn?t find the corkscrew. This production contains a mime. This production contains a scene in which the actors will be smoking. Be advised that Carl, the young man playing Cousin Jude, may cough until he passes out. This is normal and to be expected. Carl has never actually smoked a cigarette in his life, even though his character explicitly says, ?I been smokin? ever since I was a li?l kid.? You?d think that Carl might have done the bare minimum of preparation for the role?it?s his first acting job since he got his drama degree, and apparently thought he could wing it. This is par for the course in this production. This production contains a rambling personal monologue. This production uses dry ice fog to indicate that a scene is either a happy dream, a scary dream, a flashback, a passage of time, or taking place in Europe. This production contains the plot device of mistaken identity that clearly doesn't fool anyone. This production contains two characters who appear fully nude. That?s actually a bit misleading. It?s the same character, but at different ages. The first time we see the character nude, he is played by the lithe young man who plays the extremely hot but single and available doctor on that TV show. Presumably, most of you are here to see this actor butt naked. If you are sitting in the orchestra, you will get the fullest view. If you are sitting in the balcony, it?s not a complete washout, but we recommend you move down to the orchestra. There should be many available seats. In the second act, the same character is naked, but he is now played by Peter Jablownski. Take note that Peter is in his thirty eighth year as a member of our repertory company and recently celebrated his seventy seventh birthday (Congratulations Peter!!). If you make it to the second act, you?re really going to want to head back up to those balcony seats... take our word for it. This production contains confusing and unnecessary double casting. This production contains an uncalled-for musical number? which includes unfortunate choreography. This production contains unconvincing stage combat, a poor depiction of what it?s like to have diabetes, and a didactic speech about the plight of common man. This production contains a vast misunderstanding of addiction. This production contains a shocking ending. Although to be clear, it?s not a good shock. It?s not the kind of shock where you?re invested in a character or a story and when things take an unexpected turn, you?re left with a greater understanding because you realize that the character had no other choice. This is not Miss Julie walking offstage with a razor or Willy Loman crashing his car or Oedipus gouging out his own eyes (and although doing that to yourself might cross your mind during this production, we humbly request that you do not). It?s the kind of shock that makes you think, ?Have I been watching a different play for the past two hours? Wasn?t the grandmother supposed to be dead? How did they all wind up in Las Vegas, and why does the doctor keep mentioning bowler hats and yo-yo?s?? It?s the type of shock that tells you the director got the job only because his daddy runs the theatre company, and apparently nothing matters in this life except having a powerful father who runs a theatre company or being the ?background extra holding the rake? in an episode of that cancelled TV cop show. It?s the kind of shock that indicates that the playwright?s mother was right and he should have stayed in law school, and that having a career in the arts is both unstable and incredibly *not-what-it-was-cracked-up-to be*. This production contains an anguished plea to join someone ?on their journey?. This production will run four and a half hours with one five-minute intermission. -30- Laters, Paul 1 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The SMO put a kink in our plans as we can't currently stay here for any extended time as Americans (our long term visa evaporated), but we now have brand new green passports from a country nobody's heard of (but is real and not western). We've got some final stuff to do that requires another trip out of the country, but hopefully we're not gone long and can get everything sorted to come back and stay.

The reason I ask is that cell phone dB meters are mostly a novelty. There are a few circumstances where a phone app is useful, but they're kinda specific. If you need a measurement that's halfway accurate, get a handheld SPL meter. The cheap ones are actually pretty decent. The place where cell phone SPL meters usually break down is that they're dependant on the phone's hardware & operating system to give the app it's data. The microphones in a cell phone are incredibly tiny, optimized for voice frequencies, and typically start to distort at high volumes. Also, the phone might or might not have some signal processing on the audio (like compression or nose reduction) before it hands it off to other apps. It's really a crap shoot if you'll get good results, and each phone is different. In full disclosure, the other reason I dislike cell phone meters is that they're usually foisted on me by angry people who feel that the sound is too loud, and they're using the numbers on their app as a bludgeon.

Followed by the announcement to please take your seats or hang on securely. Starting at very low volume, gradually getting louder. The airport terminal PA soundtrack from the movie AIRPLANE. Nonsense, but amusing nonsense. Gains the attention as it gets more silly. The Star Trek red alert sound from the original series. A Bosun's whistle from any US Navy movie soundtrack. Then the announcement. "Now hear this. Now hear this. All hands assume viewing seats and darken theater for the show. " Voice suitably processed to sound like a ship's 1MC speaker. Or whatever announcement you like. I was about to suggest the Emergency Broadcast System's attention tone, but there are laws that restrict unauthorized use of it. Set of various cell phone ring tones.

My debit card just stopped working, I contacted them and they said the account has been closed for violation of rules (nobody ever says which rule).? They will consider returning my money, but it takes them a month or so to think about it. So, Wise.com is now unsafe. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
