What is your role? There can be a lot of overlap among design elements,particularly media and the interaction between set, lighting, and sound designers

Hal Eagar:

What I'm better at than I wish I were is the stage install effects, and control systems. Very hardware and software. And not totally in the heart of the media. I'm not much into linear editing and don't know the newest editing software in and out, and I really like atomic media assets over linked footage. I mean I like having hundreds of short files to play with as apposed to a 60minute video.  At least until the end of rehearsal and development, then when things are set you start to want a nice long video.

Anyway I was saying that to explain how I'm not a video editor, but what I am is a media manipulator.  Effects, timing, and placement.  But on stage, not on the final cut timeline.

I think I'm a decent animator, but with a narrow style set maybe that limits when that is applicable.  And it's very time consuming, so I don't take on that role in the majority of the work I do, but it's some of the most fun work.
