Jerome Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Seems to me that we in the next generation and even the older generation have some wild ambitions in life. My question is whats your dream event? Maybe its one of the following: 1) something that will happen2) something you want to make happen3) something that consists of a) one type of technology or b) a new type of technology4) something that maybe won't happen even in our lifetimes5) something so far from planet earth that it won't ever happen. Let us all know, we have to have some form of ambition in which to try and let our creativity run riot, after all we are supposed to be the future of this industry. Might be cool to hear from some of the older end too. Jerome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali2580 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 My ultimate dream would be to either be the lighting or sound designer or operator for a massive touring theatre production or for a singer or band tour. Using some fancy equipment....I don't know what sort of equipment but just being behind the wheel of something massive would be good. Right now, looks like I'll be sticking with amateur productions though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genus Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 My dream event at the moment will be when the theatre company I've just formed gets the money it needs so that we can actually produce our first ever show. It seems a long way off at the moment. This recession malarky is really playing havok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Touring video for U2 or The Prodigy. It would be their new tour, and would have been through a lengthy design process, where we'd have created some bespoke effects and pushed the boundaries creatively. We'd also be adding a Full HD studio camera system to our stock, along with a slew of LED products that we'd then be able to use on other work. I'd also be out on the tour, and have the privilege of working with recognised high flyers in their fields, as well as the crew on the job. I can dream- but it could become reality if we keep doing what we're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrummerJonny Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 short term dream = to be able to use a graphic eq PROPERLY, instead of just fiddling and guessing until I get a good sound. long term dream = audio engineer on large-scale tours / festivals. good thread by the way :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think mine would definately have to be 'star wars live' there's too many things that you could do with it. I would also like to have been old enough/ alive to have worked on 'time' the musical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolley1466 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Something that will happen? I'm going to a few festivals :P What would be even better is me working in the production side at one of them :oI want to get work experience with a sound hire company this summer :blink: Would be nice if there was some touring in that mix too :DI think number three would have to be me having enough money to buy some nice equipment, a new type of technology? Is there much more to invent?Something that won't happen in our lifetime - DJs using decent speakers at a safe volume.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal421 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Any event with clean flush lavatories , proper food and breaks and a P A that loads itself into the truck . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heinz57 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Maybe not strictly what your looking for but here goes, My dream event would be for me to be doing the lighting on Blood Brothers. I think it's a realy good peice. It's my favorite musical and play, I've seen it about 5 times and the play itself and the tech stuff never fails to impress me. So I'd realy like to have a go at it myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsource Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 As a member of the older generation :P Touring video for U2 or The Prodigy. I can dream- but it could become reality if we keep doing what we're doing. I could simply that further......doing live sound for any band where I actually like over 30% of their set. I think, for me, my dream job would probably be some technical involvment with the current War Of The Worlds tour. On a technical note, as a hire company, a more realistic dream :blink: would be to have a zillion pounds worth of kit making me squillions of pounds worth of money! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardtank Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I saw the War Of The Worlds live show a few years back, absolutely amazing! I wouldn't have minded working on that either!! I'm still quite young and I'm not entirely sure what direction my 'career' is going to take In the next few years I'm hoping to do some work on the cruise ships, do a bit of travelling (I realise that shore days are probably few and far between). We shall see what happens after then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Back in my years doing news, my idea of a dream event was any one where they weren't actively shooting at you--and that didn't involve a 3rd world airline to get to and from work. Nowadays it would be doing the sound design for the West End opening of a musical called "Red Stars" by a particular writer/composer I happen to know. It was the best show I ever worked on when it was done out in the sticks...and I'd love to do it again with a bigger budget and more resources. Failing that, I love doing the sound design for any new show...much more rewarding that re-doing any of the old standards. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
