PROMOTIONAL VIDEO
A Note on Magic Sheets: I always hand draw my magic sheets. I often draft my light plots weeks or months before a show goes into tech. I create my final magic sheet a few days before the focus call. I find that the act of hand drawing and coloring the magic sheet refreshes my thinking on the show, gives me a sense of how I will use my ingredients in my cues, and helps me to know if I am missing any important needs. It is a meditative process that I value immensely.
