Thank god for reading week....

Hey guys

  It's been a while since I posted last, but we survived the Opera Workshop. Now we are going full tilt into Dal Theatre's production of The Country Wife. I have the privilege of working with an amazing director named James Dodding . I had the wonderful experience of meeting him my first year at Dalhousie and, I am absolutely delighted to be working with him. Also in recent news, I have been named the lighting crew chief and the lighting board operator for The Country Wife. I am pretty happy, I came to Dalhousie Theatre's Sceneography program wanting to specialize in lighting, so to end this year doing exactly what I entered the program for, it's definitely a good send off.

  In other news, I have been keeping pretty busy the last couple of weeks. I have been getting a lot of work from Tour Tech East Ltd. working on the Canada Games. It's been pretty simple rigs all around, and it's nice to see the guys from the shop, but it has been eating up my break, so far I am booked for the rest of the weekend. But I can't complain, it puts money in my pocket and I love doing the work, what more could anyone ask?

Cheers
Cody

PS.
  Because I don't have any pictures here are a couple of commercials I worked on back in 2010.

These were recruiting adds commissioned by the Department of National Defense. I was hired by RPM Productions to serve as a Special FX daily for these two commercials in particular. I got to spend some time on CFB Gagetown, with a lot of fake snow, some big fans, some bigger guns, and some even bigger vehicles, not to mention the live ammunition and the helicopter! It was a great time and despite some mystery meat for lunch on day 1, I think a good time was had by most if not all.
