Jean Snow has a post on gaffer tape signs:
When I went to and came back from Narita airport last week for my trip to Taipei, I passed through Nippori station, where I spotted plenty of great gaffer tape signs (the station is currently undergoing major renovations). I’m guessing it was done by Shuetsu Sato, who is famous for his previous tape signs at Shinjuku Station.
Go to the original post to see photos.

We’re now accepting registrations for our upcoming webinar: The ABCs of Lighting A Green Show.
From the registration page:
In this webinar, we navigate the unchartered waters of lighting the stage of the future. We’ll explore the newest technologies and how they compare to conventional sources in terms of light output, color and rendering, dimming, flicker, effects, and cost. When the smoke clears you’ll have a better understanding of what you can and can’t do with the newest lighting equipment, how it will look, and what the payoff will be.
Once again, we’re delighted to have Richard Cadena as our host.

Michael Eddy reviews Compulite’s Dlite 48 console for Church Production Monthly:
The construction materials and the overall feel of the console gives me confidence that it should hold up well in normal use. The faders and buttons are solid. The console is laid out in a thoughtful manner and mixes manual control along with the ability for fully programmed playbacks. This accommodates a wide variety of operators with different skill levels. The console is a very good fit if you have around 48 conventionals and 12 – 24 moving lights.
Compulite’s consoles, including Dlites and Vectors, are available from Creative Stage Lighting’s Dealer Network. Call us at (518) 251-3302 for your nearest dealer, or you can get in touch with us on our contact page.
