Open For Discussion: FocusTrack Forums Online
FocusTrack, the production lighting documentation system already in use on a wide range of shows around the world, has announced the launch of its new on-line support and discussion forums.
Available now through the FocusTrack website at www.focustrack.co.uk/forums, the forums are designed to give FocusTrack users a place to find information, ask questions or offer comments about using the FocusTrack software, about exporting data from Strand or ETC Eos consoles in a format suitable for use with FocusTrack, about the best way of photographing lights or cues for documenting them in FocusTrack - or, indeed, about any other aspect of using FocusTrack to document show lighting. By putting questions in a public forum it is hoped that the answers might be of use to all current - and any possible future - users of FocusTrack.
The forums will expand on the information already available on the website, this including a regular 'FocusTrack Tips' page that has covered some common areas of FocusTrack use.
Since its launch in 2005, FocusTrack has been used to document a number of high-profile theatrical productions around the world, including Billy Elliot in London and now in Australia, Mary Poppins, Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, Never Forget, Rock 'n' Roll, Guys and Dolls and Young Frankenstein. FocusTrack is also in use in a number of theatres that have to document shows that tour or play in rep, including English National Opera and Glyndebourne Opera. The functionality of FocusTrack continues to grow, with the latest releases expanding the print output options, allowing a rig to be divided up into working zones ('foh', 'stage' etc), listing identical presets for focus rationalisation and more.
