Walk-through on the creation of Buffo's "Rising" beam show. (Pangolin Showtime)
Hey folks;
Lots of people have asked me how I write shows. And others have asked specifics about my "Rising" show, which has always been one of my favorites. So a while back I started writing down what I could remember about the show creation process, while simultaneously stepping through the show segment by segment and trying to explain what I was doing on the timeline.
It turned into quite the large document! So large, in fact, that I'm not going to post the text here. I'll attach the document in Rich Text File (.rtf) format so anyone can download and read it. It will be zipped to save space. It's probably best if you have Showtime open with the Rising show loaded up before you start wading through all the text though.
I will apologize in advance for the excessive verbiage. But I wanted to cover as much of the show as possible - to the point that someone could probably re-create the show from scratch with the help of this document plus a video of what the show originally looked like. Also, as most of you know, I tend to run on more than a little bit anyway, and this is painfully evident in the document!
Nevertheless, if you really want to know how I put that show together, this will tell you, in excruciating detail. And along the way, you might learn a little bit about how I go about making shows, and that could help you with your own shows. Or you might just fall asleep... :rolleyes: Either way, I assume zero responsibility!
I will say this though: if you think it is a chore reading through the entire document, consider for a moment the time it took me to write and edit it! :cool:
Lase on, people...
