Pericles – What Happened Next

So, did I mention Pericles?  (Or Perididdles, as for some reason is has become known in the course of a technical period that I can only really describe as breathless.)  That thing I ended up lighting… I blogged about it before, saying ‘this thing is coming’ and now that it’s been and gone I figure, well, I may as well put up the pictures.  It was an educational experience… not without its blips, let’s face it.  There were many things about the Perididdles experience that will hopefully not go down in history, not even in pictogram form… but there was also lots to be very proud of and with this in mind, I’ll throw up some pictures.  There are also plenty of acknowledgments to be (retrospectively but truly) given – to everyone who helped me rig and focus in exchange for nothing more than eternal gratitude and the chance to boogie beneath a 2000W strobe (while it worked); and to the one person who helped me de-rig for only half of the above!  To the gentleman who still labours under the belief that the Strand 500 series is greater than the Ion, and who was yet civilized enough to tell me how to apply effects to the same, and the kindly member of the lighting department who tried to knock together a pair of animation wheels out of a set of motors that hadn’t yet seen the dawn of the new millennium… and full credit and thanks go to Fran Reidy, whose photos these are that I’m putting on display!
