More random backstage snippets
Not too much backstage content recently because the show has settled in, so it's very much rinse and repeat now.

A surprisingly simple module that uses software to do all the work. I'm not sure if the output is being bit-bashed directly or if there is a dedicated serial output module within the processo...

I've done a few of these lamps and I do feel a bit awkward about the repetition, like the garage channels also feel when they're doing yet another brake or oil change. But each one has its ow...

If I sound a bit out of breath, it's because this is the top of the castle and involves a bit of a climb up a steep cobbled path and a very long staircase.
Another backstage snippet during the first of the two Saturday shows.
If an advert appears on this clip it's because the music triggered a copyright claim and they may be placing adverts. &nb...

A look at the insides of a flame effect humidifier that creates an illuminated curtain of haze.

I'm not sure if this is purely for Apple watches or if it works with other brands too. The circuitry has strong similarities with a previous teardown of a QI phone charger.
This lamp came from a local high profile supermarket chain called Tesco.

What maybe doesn't show so well here is that their clothing has integrated LED lighting with 50 separately addressable sections. The starfield uplighting from the video floor is swamping it o...

I'm not sure when this stream is going to start, as it is an active show night before my night shift.

Hopefully one of the last night shifts for a while, as the show is about to run.

This took a while to reverse engineer, as the circuitry combines SMD and through hole components as part of an analogue circuit.
The best place to view the pyro is right next to it, albeit you occasionally get hit by fallout.

You should see it pop up on bigclivelive or in your feed.

Another night shift. Looking after the rig while the lighting designer programs it, and making new stuff.
I've not had time to complete the reverse engineering of the main door unit associated with this phone, but will do so soon. As it is, the phone itself is quite nicely designed.
There were more rehearsal snippets that I can't show you because they would violate non-disclosure stuff, but when the show starts I can show them.
Some more random video clips from work.

Long split shifts, with me and one other technician doing the late shift to watch over the rig while it's being programmed, and fix stuff that broke during the day.
