Tech notes:
I'm disappointed by the overexposed spotlight shots, The viewfinder did not accurately depict what was being recorded on the first night. The second night, program recording was set to AE Shutter priority as a recommendation, however 1/60 apparently was too slow as images are still blown out. My bad folks.

Wow! This is great! Good job! Best HS rendition I've seen so far.

[@frenchie16000]

It did, thanks, it was great actually! Hope your version went well.

[@Zookimer]

Pretty good high school version! I wish my school would do this...

[@HathBrad08]

woah this is really good for a high school!!

[@kukasdesigns]

I just did that for my school's play, that's a lot of work - It's a ton of fun though.

[@tankmaster1018]

I am not a fan of the high school versions of this but Damn, the line "cause everything is rent" was fucking excellent.

[@frenchie16000]

Our school's doing this too, and so naturally I'm inclined to like ours better, but nice job This bit, at the beginning, is hell for me because I'm running sound (which I've never done before in my life) and there are tons of sound effects (you left out a lot of phone rings) plus managing 8 personal mics and 4 handheld mics argh
And now my computer, which I use to play sound effects, is spontaneously shutting down, and there's still one show left, today

"We begin on xmas eve..." too fast!.. the rest : AMAZING!

[@misssmilesunshine]

i want my school to do this show!!!!!

[@jean594]

I know is the acting choice, but it could be hard to keep up. And for people seeing the show for the first time, it could be hard to understand. Also, I've seen Rent played by 4 different Marks, including Anthony Rapp, and they all do it at the same slow pace so people understand it better. So I don't know how much "Acting Choice" matters in this case.

[@frenchie16000]

I know, they edited it a lot:
"this is weird/so weird/really weird/really weird"
"she cheated/she cheated/maureen cheated/maureen cheated"
It's kind of awkward but MTI could also get upset over videotaping it, which, at least according to my school's contract, is forbidden.

[@trec1080]

dude playing mark, I nkow you were probably nervous. Don't rush even if your mind wants to. Also, why arn't you wearing glasses? hah

December 24th 9pm Eastern Standard Time from here on in I shoot without a script! - Galileo

[@jean594]

I didn't it, but I did know there weren't much people there. What does this has to do with Rent anyway? lol

[@bbqthis]

Voice mail #1 was sung in the wrong key.

[@HotEyeBallsAching]

Sounds like a lot of work. I hope it all works (worked) out okay.

[@JoelBrewton]

"GREAT DAMN!" LMAO!
Still, the fact that they're allowed to say "shit" is interesting. Most school productions veto that.

[@PuffVick]

Rogers' nails should be painted black
