OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Tonight's show is Cringe! It's kind of a live action Fesshole. Very funny. 040
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Bored of moving the house setup whenever community groups come in so it's Sexy infrastructure time! If you're disturbed by loose wires, look away. 130
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My first Reubens in the flesh was not a fruity woman. Instead it was a kid who'd been decapitated but hadn't followed convention and kept wandering about. ...and I've just learned a new word. Cephalophore. 030
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Bruce Lee one inch punched a New York Cab out of the way of opposing traffic, saving the lives of at least 3 people. The only reason you've never heard this before is that they don't want you to know. 000
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Theatre Companies. If you're staging 2:22 A Ghost Story and want the LED clock files as video let me know. I've got them at 1080p. Formatted for transitions. Stills, then Snap black, time lapse, real time for each act. It was a pig to build, happy to share. #theatre #theatresky #fx 020
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I like to have totems for shows. Next year's big show (for me) is Lucy Kirkwood's The Children. So I've bought a Geiger counter. Which after some minor mods will be the show Geiger counter. 010
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Massive lens cleaning session about to start. Then eBay time for the random ones. I built a Soligor collection which I'll keep. Plus a Pentax 50 great doco lens. 135 Helios beautiful portrait lens, and an odd holy grail 50 that I got just before YouTube drove the prices up. The rest, weird, 120
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The "Kid's" film is in the London Independent Film Festival. Mad. 110
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 02/10/2026All US soldiers to receive the 88 films limited edition 4K UHD slipcase Boxset of Jackie Chan action classic Armour of God. 030
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If I were to make a film about the modern state of British politics my first thought probably wouldn't be a campy absurdist prison horror comedy gorefest. But then I'm clearly not Joko Anwar. 030
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Power cut last nght borked the router at work. The entire organisation's Internet's been running off my phone since 9.30 this morning. Struggling to keep it together while attempting to find and talk to the one human who can do tech support whilst asking me 98 unecessary security questions. 030
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 28/09/20262:22 is done. This is the last bear igniter. In truth the ignition was easy, it was wrangling the cotton for a decent burn which kicked our ass. I'm still the king of practical effects. In this building. In this room. Currently. 140
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I didn't have my phone when I first saw this and the contrail X was closer to the moon. This is after grabbing my phone and cleaning the lens. By which time 90% of the WOW factor had drifted off to the left. Merde...🙁 030
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Going vampire hunting. Bring your own garlic. 020
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Played Pong and Space Invaders before this but Defender is a masterpiece. Ahead of its time. Dynamic, challenging, killer audio, great to play but if you saw it played by someone skilled. (Chef's KIss) 050
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This is one of those "MF I built a line to mic attenuator. Do you think I don't know how HDMI over cat5 works?" kinda days where I struggle with my vow of not punching people in the throat. 010
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Got grassed up by another tech for having this broken antenna secured with 100kg break paracord. I should hiss at him prison style. Repaired with a 1/4 20 threaded insert and JB Weld. Why are the artless twats always such raging fannies. 001
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 18/09/2026My childhood reading journey went from Enid Blyton, to Asterix, to Peter Benchley James Herbert, and Stephen King and their imitators. I loved Gary Brander's run, little sad over The Howling, totally missed this one he scripted in the VHS glory days. Cameron's Closet. It has telekinetic powers. 020
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Police Facial Recognition Unit in town. Made an arrest. One of the policewomen had a thin blue line patch on. The stuff that gives lie to the one bad apple myth. 000
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Everyone said thank you and chipped. This is why you get the big invoices. You are literally buying my GTA VI. 010
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Full tech demo of 2:22 tomorrow. Going to be... Interesting. 040
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Gunman Contracts: Stand Alone makes me interested in VR games again. Thing with VR gaming is that there's always the setup, and the space. 000
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 10/09/2026That's right. That's right That's right. That's right I really l love your tiger light. Yes. I will throw cheese into your smooth preshow playlists. 010
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 10/09/2026New and improved device for the efficacious and permanent removal of stage vermin. Patent applied for. 110
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 10/09/2026InterCity patio door built. It's not just the build it's the rigs you have to build to make the build work. Today, closing rig. 020
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 07/09/2026You can see me learning how the palm router works. Low revs and grip it like you're arm wrestling. 020
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 07/09/2026There's a half slice Acorn Archimedes on eBay for 3 grand. I have this without keys or mouse. Will have to get in and remove the clock battery sooner than later. Why is that one Jaz bay so yellow though? 100
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Screw you Erbauer... No, literally how? The only choice is to manually kinda sharpen the teeth to get through this job. 000
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Good show. Though I'm of the opinion that if you don't want to throat-punch a clever Oscar Wilde character they're not giving it the full 'arch'. Everyone's gone home for the night, so back to 2:22. I'm working on the "clock" 000
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I have a soft spot for DOT Productions. They're very much in the old school of rep touring theatre. Look at how they create depth with their set. Standard flats, standard dimensions. Stage braces and pin hinges. 010
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Very good/busy day. Trimmed the hedge at home. Cut out the clock box for 2:22 then did sound and lights for the Peter Green show which, no thanks to me, got a standing ovation. Saving this for tomorrow. We've back to touring theatre. 020
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Need to drive a baby monitor (with effects) with audio from QLab hopefully this floating circuit will drop line level output down to mic level. There is a smaller version of this but I'd lose my shit trying to solder it. If we had a 3d printer I might just make a Bluetooth speaker job. 110
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Had a lung cancer screening call today. Strange experience. Do you smoke? Did you smoke? When did you quit? Are you fat? Do you have any of these symptoms? (of cancer) Do you have a next of kin? I'm OK for the next 5 years when they'll be back to check progress. 000
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 27/08/2026It's fine, we'll just arrive earlier than planned. 020
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 27/08/2026And that's the holiday over. Holland is officially one idiot lighter. 000
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Movie nerd goal achieved. Riding on Jeroen Krabbe's personal train. 000
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Went on a Beavis & Butthead inspired tour of Northern Holland for faintly comedic village names. 010

OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Last show of the Camden Fringe great reviews all week. Might go full fringe and light this one in the nuddy. 120
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Either the world's stupidest roller blade, or... Double insurance for ensuring the patio door gag works every time. 020
OrphanPixels.bsky.social @orphanpixels.bsky.social · 12/08/2026John Henry ass morning. NGL though, I do like to swing the lump hammer every now and then. 010
