V-Show is an annual show that presents a variety of talents from different parts of the student body. It is a pretty basic plot with 10 areas including tops, high sides, and front lights in each area. This is the only show of the year where my high school would rent moving lights. I got some experience working with them through this process, but there were only 4 and they were mainly wanted for texture washes and lighting the skrims. The biggest challenge with this show was the lack of time. Due to various circumstances, we were given very little time to complete hang and focus for the show with a small team of about three people including myself. Working with such a small crew gave me a better understanding of how to prioritize tasks and place each person on the task that was best suited to their skills.
