WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:10.960 This is as easy as Google Drive and Office 365 for normal people. 00:10.960 --> 00:12.120 They can work with it. 00:12.120 --> 00:18.120 It's even easier for you because you don't have to figure out why she'll bear who has 00:18.120 --> 00:21.240 a Google account, but no Gmail address, can't log in. 00:21.240 --> 00:26.680 I can assure you it's how if they have tried to fix that. 00:26.680 --> 00:31.080 There is a slight downside for you because you are now a technical person. 00:31.080 --> 00:33.320 You will have to set this up. 00:33.320 --> 00:37.760 This will mean you will have to have a server, but it's not very difficult to set it up. 00:37.760 --> 00:44.560 I set it up is just a PHP application, some database, and colabores, even in packages. 00:44.560 --> 00:46.120 That is something you need. 00:46.120 --> 00:48.760 Now you have some place to store all the Excel files. 00:48.760 --> 00:54.200 I'm sorry, all the spreadsheets, and all the other documents, the script, for example, version 00:54.200 --> 00:56.360 2, version 5, version 17. 00:56.360 --> 00:59.720 You can now store it somewhere, and you have your new member. 00:59.720 --> 01:03.400 You can access to this, and at least you can find everything. 01:03.400 --> 01:05.520 However, this is not a theater play. 01:05.520 --> 01:06.920 This is very boring. 01:06.920 --> 01:09.800 It even gets worse. 01:09.800 --> 01:16.440 Because at some point in time, someone will ask you, could you create a website because 01:16.440 --> 01:21.560 face it your a technical guy, you know about websites, and it will say to you, don't worry, 01:21.560 --> 01:23.240 it doesn't have to do much. 01:23.280 --> 01:26.440 Just a bit of text, forget it. 01:26.440 --> 01:28.120 It always has to do much. 01:28.120 --> 01:32.840 If you really think it doesn't have to do much, you can use a static site generated like 01:32.840 --> 01:37.040 HIKO, that's how it's presented, I don't know how they want to pronounce it. 01:37.040 --> 01:40.160 It's easy, you still have the web server, it's easy. 01:40.160 --> 01:45.120 However, if you're realistic like me, or pessimistic, you will know that they want to do 01:45.120 --> 01:46.120 more. 01:46.120 --> 01:48.560 They want access, give them work press. 01:48.560 --> 01:52.760 It has it had some bad press, but it is easy to use, it is easy to install. 01:52.760 --> 01:57.040 You still have that web server, it's only a PHP application, some database, how hard 01:57.040 --> 01:58.840 can it be. 01:58.840 --> 02:05.160 Other good thing, and I hesitate to mention it because the plugin itself is not open source, 02:05.160 --> 02:10.120 but if you want to make your life easy, you can also integrate next cloud with WordPress, 02:10.120 --> 02:12.320 so you only have to manage one account. 02:12.320 --> 02:17.000 It is already very difficult for most people to manage one account, so make it make life 02:17.000 --> 02:18.000 easier for them. 02:18.000 --> 02:19.920 However, your work is not done. 02:19.920 --> 02:24.680 Your boring work is not done, I at least have four slides with boring stuff. 02:24.680 --> 02:27.880 They will also ask you because you now have made website, and you know something about 02:27.880 --> 02:29.600 graphics, could you make us a flyer? 02:29.600 --> 02:32.800 Yes, people make flyers, people make posters, have you seen first them? 02:32.800 --> 02:34.640 It's all with flyers and posters. 02:34.640 --> 02:38.600 You can do that in the design, but that's not open source, we're not going to use that. 02:38.600 --> 02:40.720 You can use it's kibis. 02:40.720 --> 02:44.480 It's a great application, you can make all the science for first minutes, how do I know 02:44.480 --> 02:45.480 this? 02:45.480 --> 02:46.480 Because I did it. 02:46.560 --> 02:51.000 It's free, it's for most things for your small little theater group. 02:51.000 --> 02:57.000 It's as good as the big commercial offering, and it's a lot easier to use. 02:57.000 --> 03:01.080 However, we are not done with the boring stuff, because now we have the website, we have 03:01.080 --> 03:06.160 the promotion, we have 500 version of the script, you still want people in the room. 03:06.160 --> 03:11.600 Forced them is free, most theater is not free because face it, we want to drink something, 03:11.600 --> 03:12.600 to eat something. 03:12.600 --> 03:14.600 You need tickets. 03:14.680 --> 03:20.560 This is an amazing found, find, I did a few years ago for our group. 03:20.560 --> 03:25.800 This is an open source ticket, not ticketing like Gira, but we'll theater tickets you pay 03:25.800 --> 03:28.600 and they get you a ticket. 03:28.600 --> 03:33.160 Before that, we use spreadsheets, obviously everyone uses spreadsheets or WordPress plugins 03:33.160 --> 03:35.000 or stuff like that. 03:35.000 --> 03:39.760 This is a lot easier, it is open source, it is not completely open. 03:39.760 --> 03:47.120 All plugins are, you have to pay for, for example, a seating plan, but the core version 03:47.120 --> 03:51.960 is open source, it is completely usable for if you just want to sell tickets. 03:51.960 --> 03:57.160 If you want people to have assigned spots in the room, then you will have to pay for the 03:57.160 --> 04:03.520 extra module, but that would also mean that you know beforehand what kind of room configuration 04:03.520 --> 04:07.280 you will have, which is never the case. 04:07.280 --> 04:08.280 Those were the boring bits. 04:08.320 --> 04:12.000 So we come to the front bits, now we come to the show itself. 04:12.000 --> 04:18.360 You can have real dramatic theater, Shakespeare, stuff like that, we're not doing that. 04:18.360 --> 04:23.400 We are doing a front theater, we're doing a one-man show, not me, yeah, I'm not doing the 04:23.400 --> 04:28.440 one-man show, but someone is doing a one-man show and they want fun things like images 04:28.440 --> 04:32.680 or music or little movies, how do you do that? 04:32.680 --> 04:36.600 There is someone who has thought of a solution, you all know the solution, you will 04:36.600 --> 04:39.800 see it on the next slide PowerPoints. 04:39.800 --> 04:42.000 Of course you do it in PowerPoints. 04:42.000 --> 04:43.000 PowerPoints sucks. 04:43.000 --> 04:49.160 I mean, it doesn't really suck as a PowerPoint application, impress sucks equally at 04:49.160 --> 04:50.720 what you want to do with it. 04:50.720 --> 04:55.880 Have you ever tried to put a movie in PowerPoints, yes, was it fun? 04:55.880 --> 05:02.720 No, you end up with a file that's 100 gigabytes big and can't really be presented. 05:02.720 --> 05:05.960 Furthermore, actors will mess up their lines. 05:05.960 --> 05:11.240 Sometimes it's not a lot, sometimes they forget entire scenes. 05:11.240 --> 05:16.200 Try doing that with PowerPoints without people noticing that they have missed the scene. 05:16.200 --> 05:17.200 You can't do that. 05:17.200 --> 05:21.040 You have to go back and see the previous scene or the next scene, it's a mess. 05:21.040 --> 05:23.360 Also you can't fade to black. 05:23.360 --> 05:28.120 You can mess with your projector and it becomes black, but yeah, nobody knows if it will 05:28.120 --> 05:29.120 ever come back. 05:29.120 --> 05:34.720 So much better solution, much more fun thing, also completely not intended for what we're 05:34.760 --> 05:37.000 going to use it for, but still it works. 05:37.000 --> 05:38.960 This is Open Botka Studio. 05:38.960 --> 05:39.960 This is the lovely logo. 05:39.960 --> 05:42.560 This is actually from the last play we made. 05:42.560 --> 05:46.640 This is a very old version of our main actor. 05:46.640 --> 05:52.600 It isn't intended for live streaming games, but it also has a preview function. 05:52.600 --> 05:56.680 You can put your screen in the preview function. 05:56.680 --> 06:00.360 You just add an HDMI cable like I don't to present this. 06:00.360 --> 06:03.760 Then you can use the preview as your presentation. 06:03.800 --> 06:08.240 You can do a lot of fun things with this, like fade to black, which is very important. 06:08.240 --> 06:12.760 For example, if you forget this bit, you just go here, nobody notices. 06:12.760 --> 06:15.640 You just fade and it looks magical. 06:15.640 --> 06:18.440 It looks like it was intended that way. 06:18.440 --> 06:23.440 This is the for our group, the first great find was the ticket application, the second one 06:23.440 --> 06:28.600 was this, because that freed us from PowerPoints. 06:28.600 --> 06:31.920 This can also do music, but not very well. 06:32.000 --> 06:37.040 I mean, it can play things, but you can't really see where the music will start or how 06:37.040 --> 06:43.880 the waveform is going to be, so you will have a nice line that requires some Wagner 06:43.880 --> 06:47.920 and something it will start in a wrong place and ruined. 06:47.920 --> 06:53.240 But we have found this here, which is also completely invisible, because of the great 06:53.240 --> 06:54.640 STL lighting. 06:54.640 --> 06:59.000 This is MixVetryAccess.org, not.com. 06:59.000 --> 07:05.280 What comes something else you don't want to use on your work computer. 07:05.280 --> 07:13.280 I'm also assuming that you got your MP3 files legally, so I will not go in detail, but 07:13.280 --> 07:20.000 you have your list of files, you can play one and then add the other already, put it 07:20.000 --> 07:24.800 your queue on the right spot, fade that one out, fade that one in. 07:24.800 --> 07:31.160 It's great, it looks nice, it works very well, before that we used Spotify and Audacity. 07:31.160 --> 07:37.000 In Audacity, you can see the waveform, open Audacity twice, hell. 07:37.000 --> 07:43.640 Spotify, you can play your waiting music, but that's about it. 07:43.640 --> 07:49.000 For this edition, so the edition we played of the performance this year, that was about 07:49.000 --> 07:50.000 it. 07:50.000 --> 07:52.360 That was our stack we did it on. 07:53.360 --> 07:59.360 The sole person who dared to say something said lighting, we didn't do that. 07:59.360 --> 08:06.360 We used this very, sorry, this is the play, I was going to say this. 08:06.360 --> 08:11.360 We used this very trusty old machine that came with the place we played. 08:11.360 --> 08:16.360 You can also see that they thought of everything except for a place to put the technicians. 08:16.360 --> 08:23.360 You also really can't really see the stage from there, but it's fun. 08:23.360 --> 08:28.360 This works really well, if you have old lights, one channel, one light, like we have there, 08:28.360 --> 08:34.360 but we also rent a lot of extra things, like music, you know, not music, like fireworks and smoke, 08:34.360 --> 08:39.360 and more, more lights to make it nicer. 08:39.360 --> 08:44.360 A new light has eight to 16 to even more channels. 08:44.360 --> 08:47.360 You can fit exactly four of them in that. 08:47.360 --> 08:49.360 It's going to be a really boring show. 08:49.360 --> 08:56.360 So we already have like, so you see one and we have two and three and four, which is kind of a pain in the ass to manage. 08:56.360 --> 09:06.360 So for next year, we will try this amazing application, which is Q light control plus, which you can buy means of this device. 09:06.360 --> 09:10.360 And put it at your computer and then you can program everything in there. 09:10.360 --> 09:15.360 We will test it first for the smoke and the mirrors and stuff like that. 09:15.360 --> 09:20.360 And not for the main lighting because if it fails, the place ruined. 09:20.360 --> 09:27.360 But if it works, it's going to be really, really amazing, but I will have to tell you that next year. 09:27.360 --> 09:33.360 And now comes, I think the most useful slide of this entire presentation, which is the list of software. 09:33.360 --> 09:38.360 With the URL where you can download it. 09:38.360 --> 09:41.360 And that's it, I think. 09:41.360 --> 09:48.360 I'm quite sure that it's so normally now should come the slide with the play, but I fucked it up. 09:48.360 --> 09:50.360 Thank you for your attention. 09:50.360 --> 09:53.360 I have stayed within my 15 minutes. 09:53.360 --> 09:55.360 And this is all about me. 09:55.360 --> 09:57.360 I don't want to start with that. 09:57.360 --> 10:05.360 You can find more about also this was supposed to be a blog post, but I didn't get around to it, but it will end up on that website. 10:05.360 --> 10:07.360 So thank you. 10:07.360 --> 10:10.360 Thank you very much for your time. 10:27.360 --> 10:29.360 Thank you. 10:57.360 --> 10:59.360 Thank you. 11:27.360 --> 11:29.360 Thank you. 11:57.360 --> 11:59.360 Thank you. 12:27.360 --> 12:30.360 Thank you.
