Live Design Online: The Artistic Finance podcast relaunched this month and one of the first episodes is the live recording from LDI 2023. A panel of lighting designers from across theater, television, and live events came together to discuss the tools and software essential for their work. The conversation delved into the costs, considerations, and what software might become indispensable in the near future.

This article really taught me a lot, including how to stay awake in the morning and how to make the most of a productive day. Generally, for my 9 a.m. classes, I tend to get up at 8:30, rush through my preparations, and head to class in a disheveled state (sometimes even wearing pajamas and slippers). At times, I feel like I lack the energy to get up early, needing a lot of sleep to avoid headaches or morning mood swings. However, after reading this article, I realized the feasibility of reward mechanisms and how exercise can help avoid getting stuck in the same place every day. Just like the article mentions, "For me, little treats and enjoyable activities really keep me going. First, I play the NYT Games while I brush my teeth and wash my face. Knowing I get to play Wordle and Mini Crossword as soon as I wake up, provided I get up and head straight to the bathroom, really motivates me." These small rewards motivated the author to get out of bed, and I will also try telling myself that if I can get up within five minutes of waking up, I can have a piece of chocolate (usually a high-calorie treat I love but rarely eat). Moreover, I should exercise more to maintain my energy levels.
I am always interested in what apps and softwares professionals are using. As someone who has been stuck doing lighting design and system organization with only Eos screenshots and excel, I welcome any other software with open arms.
The hang tapes sound really cool and innovative. I think it’d be really fun to get to use those.
With most of my experience being in a highschool setting, we have always used discord. I’ve found it’s super helpful as management, but also for connection purposes as well. We made an announcement channel for important messages such as call times and alerts. But we also had chatting and meme channels. In the professional world, I understand the need for crew to be more professional and less familial, but for highschoolers, the goofiness and connection from having those chatting channels definitely helped create a more fun and productive work environment.
