The world may be full of hate and despair but it’s also full of backstage technicians who secretly are wearing really fun socks under their stage blacks

ok hi question; for anyone else who works professionally as a stagehand, do you actually call these

by their name? truss clamps?

everyplace ive ever worked at has called them baby arms "pass me the baby arms" "we need more baby arms on this pole" "can you get the baby arm box" etc etc

what sort of tools/gear do you bring on calls.

Thanks for asking! 😊

As someone who primarily does lighting, the most important thing for me is my wrench (6 inches. Anything more than that is overkill 😉 and will get in your way).

My wrench hangs from a locking carabiner, which I clip to my belt loop. (I had a non-locking one for a while, and the first time it opened and my wrench fell I went to a fortunately nearby store and got a mountain climbing one 😅)

Also on the carabiner is a piece of tie line that loops around my wrist as a safety, and a widget (which I don’t honestly use all that often, but it’s really handy when you do need it! I also can’t find a link to one right now, but if you’re not sure what I mean, just let me know!)

I also clip a roll of electrical tape (very useful!) to the carabiner when I’m not using it.

Everyone’s wrench setup is a little different, but this works for me. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted, so feel free to play around a little until you find a good configuration!

Beyond that, general safety things like gloves and steel toed boots.

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever been given is to bring a change of socks. If I know I’m working eight hours or more, I try to throw an extra pair in my bag (if I remember) and I change them halfway through the day. It makes such a huge difference!

It’s always good to have a water bottle if you don’t have access to another source of water.

Another thing I don’t use often but is incredibly useful when I need it is a multi tool. Again, there are so many out there (I got mine as a gift, so I didn’t shop around) that you can find one with the features you want/find most useful. I mostly need a blade, pliers, and screwdrivers.

Beyond that, I always have a bottle with ibuprofen, gravol, antacids, and diarrhea pills (but that’s more just general preparedness than for calls specifically)

I also have a mini first aid kit (right now it just has bandaids, but even having those close at hand is very helpful).

I don’t need them often in my specific line of work, but I always have earplugs on me, and I recommend that everyone does! Our work can get very noisy and hearing damage is unfortunately pretty common.

I personally like my belt pouch, which is similar to this one and is exactly the right size for gobos to go home with you. (I also use it to collect tie line and little bits of tape)

I always have a phone charger (cable, block, and a power bank, just in case). I also have a Lightning to headphone jack adapter so I can use my phone to check audio playback (thanks, Apple 😐)

Another thing I ‘bring’ is @neil-gaiman’s advice:

“You get work however you get work, but people keep working in a freelance world (and more and more of todays world is freelance), because their work is good, because they are easy to get along with and because they deliver the work on time. And you don’t even need all three! Two out of three is fine. People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you deliver it on time. People will forgive the lateness of your work if it is good and they like you. And you don’t have to be as good as everyone else if you’re on time and it’s always a pleasure to hear from you.”

In my experience, this is true. On pretty much any given day I can at least manage two of those!

Ok. I think that’s everything!

Of course a rigger’s kit (for example) is going to look very different than mine, but for a general call these are all good, common things to have.

Thanks again for asking, I hope this answer helps! Feel free to ask if you’d like to know anything else 😊

In her 2008 hit “Circus,” Britney Spears claims “There’s only two types of people in this world: those who entertain and those who observe.” However, there is a third type of person: the elusive, exhausted technician. In this essay I will

Another one with the Victorian skin set, because I just love them so much! Now it’s time for Maxwell - because I also love this terrible old man very much! :D

With a Stagehand. For reasons.

I’m sure he’d much rather be drinking his tea somewhere more civilized, but it is what it is.

#don't starve #don't starve together #maxwell #Maxwell Carter #victorian #stagehand #rose #forest #my art #old man looking even older with the white hair #but it suits him #and I'm totally projecting with my feelings towards the Stagehand #it used to terrify me #but lately I've found its presence comforting #and it's clearly something that was made by Charlie #the one thing that's not hostile #also this skin for him always reminds me of Percy from Critical Role

trying to truly figure out how to use tumblr properly makes me feel like an old person, although i might've made an account in like middle school or early high school and i honestly cannot remember if i actually did

anyway, hi, i'm cam, i stream on twitch and i work in the music industry (mostly stagehand work and concert photography) and i like playing dnd although i am relatively inexperienced

#hi #i'm new here #dnd #live music #stagehand #twitch #what are socially acceptable tumblr tags to use in this case
