27. To really learn a Program You have to build something with it.
The challenge is to build a page Power Point Presentation about something that you know, like Electrics, Carpentry, AV,and subdivisions of “Distro, Movie Distro, Stage Lighting, Movie Lighting,ETC board Operation, Movie Carpentry, Projection, Audio, Video, Rigging, etc. Stick to basic understandings.
These can be down loads from the local16.org website and be used as on-line training for stagehands.
Use this Master Slide and Arial as a red font. Continuity will build a good website and training program. Theses slides will also project well.
