Re: Visio Video Production and Lighting Templates

Step1. Get an example of the shapes you need to create.
Step 2. Decide on a scale and create a Visio drawing to contain the shapes.
Step 3. Decide on any special features, colouring or fill (control handles,
custom properties)
Step 4. Use the various drawing tools to create the shapes.
Step 5. Drag the shapes to a stencil.
Step 6. Make them avialable online so I can add them to the list. ;-)

Step 1 is the hardest. The rest are relatively easy. If you need help with
Step 3 or 4, just let us know.

oh, Step1a should be to make a collection of similar shapes or
functionality to modify or use as a reference.

Thanks for the tip. So I guess teh next question is, how do I create a
stencil? Do you know of any sure-fire template creators so I don' thave
to
search and try a million that a rejunk?

Thanks

I doubt there will be an official stencil. This is a case where you will
have to roll your own.

There may be 3rd party stencils, but I have yet to come accross them. I
have
a marker on my 3rd party page requesting them.

For the lighting side, one shape I would like to see is a rectangular
shape
for the light connected to an oval to indicate the area of stage
illuminated.

Will there be a template for designing technical studios - such a video
production and lighting? All these years, there's never been a
template,
or
plug-in I could find to do such a thing...

Any chance there might be for the 2007 release?

Thanks

Mike
