There’s little more to add to this saga, but i couldn’t just end these posts two days before the show! Basically, the Video crew did us proud and with two days to go all the projector were up in the air and well lined up. There was plenty of tweeking done to attain the level quality we finally got on the night but with two days to go there was more than enough time for that.
I on the other hand, programmed my elbows off and by 30 minutes to curtain up all was smooth and shiney. For show photos have a look at this flickrset. Just time for one comedy one however.
Fergus has no problems making friends with the backstage entertainment.
So all in all the show went really well. Take a wander over here to see the L&SI review.
Finally, i should review myself. It’s a real shame its taken me so long to get the stories and photos out, but ultimately i’m really glad that i have and didn’t just give up on the project like i have on other blog series in the past (retropect anyone ?) Hat’s off to the guys involved with Eurovision and the Spectra blog which inspired me to give this a go. My collection of posts have been pale in comparison to their offering and i have no doubt i’ll be a regular reader there when it comes round again. Pulling a 24 projector/16 server show out of the air in less than 2 weeks is a phenomenally tall order and thank goodness we had the crew that we did! I think maybe if we’d had a bigger lead time there would have been a lot less late nights and i’d have had more chances to knock some posts out, but still life goes on – you had to listen to enough moaning from me in my excuses posts so we’ll leave it at that.
Finally a big thanks to Phil for taking over the photography while i was behind the desk. We wouldn’t have had nearly as many decent photos if it was just left up to me. Secondly thanks to Steve at adequately-average.com for the mirror. I’ve had a fair few more readers coming in from there so to anybody new hope you enjoyed the posts!
