Week 3
It’s been a slow couple of weeks as I’ve been waiting for my RMIT staff onboarding to come through. It’s nearly done now, but a large amount of my time for the internship over the past two weeks has been consumed by the various onboarding tasks required. There are some minor hurdles here, such as getting a security pass for the Capitol building, but I’m sure they’ll be worked out soon. Overall I’m pretty excited to be in the RMIT system, and am quite happy to now have my own staff email address instead of having to use my student address for all communication.
Week 4
I viewed some QLab tutorials and experimented with the software to get a sense of how to operate it. After this, I met with Honor again to discuss some details of how we could use QLab for the final production. It’s early days of course, but the more we can automate, the better. At some point this week or next week, I’ll be meeting with Honor, Marty (sound designer) and Carla (visual artist) to discuss how everything can fit together—I’m hoping we can synchronise audio, visual and lighting cues so everything can be procedurally launched in sequence.
