Yeah I wasnt really given any specifics, but it is something with a battle scene and they want to use foam so no one gets hurt. My job was to build the cannon, not criticize the musical. Im sure it will look pretty ridiculous, but i took the job because i get my name in the program as the creator, and I might get some more jobs. Plus I could make whatever I wanted and I wouldnt have to pay for it. :lol:

Nice, I like it. Did you get to test it at all? And as for looking ridiculous, don't all school plays?

Not if I'm doing the tech... except for the one time I was directly told to follow-spot badly, because they wanted it for some reason.
The thing is you can tell when a good operator is deliberately being bad, when they're just not thinking and a total eejit is trying to do it.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?
