Easter 09: Production Docs

I thought it might be interesting to go through the various documents I create in order to execute a large service such as Easter 09.  If you’re interested in the master versions of any of these files, just drop me a line and I’d be glad to send.

The most important step for me for successful mixing on the Digidesign D-Show Profile is good planning for console layout and bussing.  I developed a worksheet in Apple Numbers that makes it easy to experiment with layout and plan out my bank assignments.  Once this worksheet is complete, I can use it to build the actual console show file.

Once the show file is created, the D-Show will automatically generate a patch worksheet that can be used to patch the stage inputs into the D-Show.

Here is a sample of the stage drawings that are created by our set designer.  There was a specific drawing for each transition in the day, creating a “playbook” for the stage team of where everything should be placed.

And finally, in case you are interested, here is a version of our production copy for the service.  This isn’t the final, final version but its pretty close.  You may see a few question marks or whatnot but it gives you the idea of the script we’re working from.

Updated Input List

Based on all I’ve read this morning from Rat, I’m going to try his gating/compression tricks this mid-week and weekend and see how I like it. Here’s the updated input list that reflects this configuration.
