Performing with "Nude" Women in Calendar Girls at Allen Contemporary Theatre
Performing in another play in North Texas, this one was a little different. I had a small role, but some of the women in the production had an interesting challenge: Appear nude, without being nude. How do you handle such things in theatre? Let's talk to the director and one of the actors to find out!
Special thanks to Allen Contemporary Theatre, Kathleen Vaught, and Molly Bower for letting me film all this and put it together.
I was definitely inspired to do this video in something approximating @TomScottGo , so you're not crazy if it reminds you of that. Cheers everyone!

Behind the Scenes as a Penguin at Prestonwood's Gift of Christmas
Просмотров 1218 месяцев назад
The whole Act 1 of GOC was updated this year, and I was selected to be a penguin, along with 5 other volunteers. It was a wild ride as we had to learn a dance, our cues to enter and exit, as well as the usual costume shenanigans. All the stuff you'd expect at a church Christmas program, right? Maybe just a Texas Megachurch Christmas program.

You forgot this question for the video: Do you use Reddit or sharty more?
Perfect job in confusing the whole issue.
Can't take you seriously when you are contradictory to your segments and wearing a Childs sun hat
There's definitely a reason I don't make fashion videos!

Yummy slop, chuggy chug chug!! 😋😋😋 I LOVE SOYLENT!!! 😲😲😲😲😲
Greetings from Poland. Thank you for your videos. I did what you said and I only saw a blurr. But when I also put (with some effort) a telescope lens into this system then it worked though not perfectly. Could you comment please?
What telescope were you using? There is some variability in how well it will work based on the focal length of the telescope, so adding a barlow lens may help in some cases. It's a lot of experimentation to figure out the best setup for your telescope, I'm glad you're making progress!
@@LukeofAllTrades. Thanks. Dobson 150/750. I have a Barlow. Because adding lense helped I figure I need to put the camera farther away. I thought it was just a simple thing - put the camera with the adaptor and it would work. I will experiment but perhaps you could give some tip for this type of telescope? And the camera is NIkon D 5200 (crop matrix).
@@LukeofAllTrades. OK, I think I tog it - just set the distance between camera and the scope (with turning the screw focuser) with 2x Barlow.
Did Alaska on Ovation last week. Was amazing!
She's a great ship for Alaska!
This was awesome, thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your ability to review was the worst.
I've done a lot since this one, maybe they're better.
Je vous conseille plutôt d'acheter un t-adapter et un t-ring pour votre appareil photo, plutôt qu'un barlow avec t-adapter. Car au moins avec vous pourrez utiliser tous vos oculaires.
GREAT TIPS!
Thanks!
Excellent, thanks! Just discovered your channel and hit the bell …so close to 2K🤞
Thank you! It's a major milestone for me!
Hey Luke. I’ve watched all your videos about the black screen… and I’m still having issues with it. Any other ideas?
Did you pull the fuse I show and put it back. That works for me 100% of the time. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what to do.
Ik this video is a long time ago and u might not respond but I have a solar filter I got with my telescope so do I just put it in the hole in the cover and then it will be safe to look through it
I still respond to every comment I can! I'm not popular enough to have many comments, so I see them all! It sounds like you're doing it right. You definitely want to put it over the end of the telescope, not over the eyepiece. One way to check it is to look through the solar filter at the sun, without using the telescope at all. You should be able to see it as about the size of the moon.
@@LukeofAllTrades. Alright will do thank you👍👍👍
I thought the T-Rex was peeing at 1:45 because of the waterfall in the background. I can't wait to visit here. I've been to the Ark Encounter and The Creation Museum in Kentucky. I like Answers in Genesis as it's the idea of the Biblical Authority Concept but ICR can get super super technical for those who want to learn deeper and want to have a very scholarly conversation.
That's funny, I never noticed that before, but you're right!
The park is beautiful, but I heard that they had a sloth that died while in their care. I also learned that a monkey was beaten by other monkeys, so they had to put him in a cage. I’m guessing it might have happened because they didn’t socialize him properly with the rest of the troop.
The sloth had been gone for some time before this visit, they just said it had died, but there was no explanation. I don't like to guess as to reasons.
This is why I don't buy a physical copy, I just pirate it!
I can't even use the phone app, because I downloaded it on a phone that broke and that code won't work again.
I've been able to use the same code on multiple phones, maybe you could contact Celestron support about it?
Thanks for the video, I will be traveling on the ship in June 2025 😊
That's awesome, it's a great ship!
@@LukeofAllTrades. lol I’ve been on Navigator of the sea ,3 times this year, then going back on that ship in February 2025 , just booked ovation of the sea today, and then next year in October I will be flying to England to board the independence of the sea . I really have found cruising to be fun and also relaxing . Thanks for your video
You would be the most annoying thing on the cruise ship!
At least I can only be in one place on one ship at a time!
I like the bird
We loved her too. She passed away a couple years ago.
Just found this video and it think it’s great but do you thing this could work with my Minolta XD-11 35mm film camera. obviously i would have to buy specific adapters for my minolta but in general do you think it would work?
Yes, I think with the right adapters it's certainly possible.
Hey Luke, Great video got my t-ring and my t-adapter recently for my Nikon Dslr and tried it to take shots of the moon and it was great,but when trying landscape or planets its very soft is that normal?
I've noticed mine's a little soft too. I have some theories on why, but I need to test them out and make another video. I know it has to be collimated properly, I have another video on that process. Things are busy for me right now, but I'm hoping to get back into video production by the end of September.
@@LukeofAllTrades. Take your time Luke and take care:) i just watched your video on how to collimate the telescope so i will do that too and try again.
Get a life pal. Maybe go back to your parents basement and watch TV
B4! I didn't catch that till watching a 2nd time. you're great. thank you!
I don't always get muster station B4, but I always do the muster drill BEFORE anything else! But sometimes both happen! Thanks for watching!
I have a sky watcher Helios 114x910 and when i use my camera with an adapter it can't focus on infinity only like 100m away. What can i do about that?
I knew the right one will be fake!!!!!!!!
Good eye! What tipped you off?
The Window 11 packaging doesn’t look like that and the Window 10-Shaped hole.
Some people will complain even if u giving out 100 dollar bills and u are the one😢
A lot of places won't take $100 bills!
Do you like anything? Sounds like your miserable. Cruising has stayed popular and even grown in popularity. You know your videos would do way better if you were more upbeat and positive. People dont want a negative nancy that finds something wrong with everything. You sound like youd be better iff staying home in you lazy boy with the remote but then again youd find something wrong with that!😢
Is it necessary to adjust the primary mirror during solar observation as shown in the video?
Nope, it should be fine. Just make sure it's collimated before you start your viewing.
Nikon F flange to film plane is 46.5 mm, the m42 is 45.46mm you need to mount the lens 1.04 mm closer to the film to work properly. But with a mirror in the way, the pin sticking out and a lens opening about the same size that is not possible. Thus the lens addition to push out the focus plane of a M42 to over 46.5 mm will fix the focus problem The added mount treads was designed for the proper distance knowing most m42 have the A / M switch The cardboard was a good idea but you might want a dark color to prevent adding light refection.
Any comedy shows?
Those are usually provided by the guest entertainers they have onboard, and there is usually at least one during every sailing. So yes, probably!
Food was terrible. Definitely didn't have that cruising feel, more of a Christmas shopping mall feel.
Different ships definitely have different feels, check out some of my other videos to see what I think of the smaller ships!
That wont work if your camera body interacts with the lens electronically. I have the Nikon Nicor series and the auto focus interacts electronically. If you don't have a compatible adapter, the electronics will show an error message & not work.
Most cameras will function, but you have to switch into Manual mode for the camera. You will then adjust the shutter and ISO manually. Focus also has to be adjusted manually.
The secret helped. I spent too long piecing A3 paper tiles together, stressing about their squareness. I now have a better idea of how to verify the plan's accuracy. Cheers! J
Thanks! It definitely lowered my anxiety around messing up the original plans!
How do you tell if it's OEM or Retail? It doesn't say on box in neither of them
I agree. I was not too happy with this cruise. The shows sucked. The food was ok. Bar tenders were so slow making our drinks. Workers are not very friendly. I agree with the movies on deck as well. The teen room was not very much fun for the teens. We have been on Carnival once and have done Disney many times. Love Disney. Will give Royal another try but a different ship. The evening dinner wasn't that great either some food was ok. Our waitress had no personality at all. Actually, most of the workers didn't. I would rate it a 4 personally. Hopefully next Royal caribbean cruise will be better.
Thank you for sharing your experience! The bigger ships seem to be better for families, maybe try one of them. I have some videos on my channel about Allure of the Seas that could be helpful.
Ty, Luke. I have a Celestron telescope and was getting frustrated with taking pictures with my iPhone. I wanted to take them with my Nikon camera. Your video was very helpful.
It's a challenge with any setup, glad this helped you try another!
Thanks for correcting how Palestine is pronounced!!!
As a native Texan, I wanted to make sure I got it right. It felt wrong when I first said it, but I wanted to keep the mistake in so people could hear the difference.
thanks for this solution
You're welcome. 5 years later and it still works to fix it when it happens!
Great video. To the point and shows one simple affordable solution that works. I saw a few others but was lost in the details. Appreciate your effort in making this one
Thank you! That was my goal!
You are taking the insults well lol. Honestly i want to do this but am afraid of getting an incel jaw so thinking of throwing in an apple a day or chewing gum. Also probablh make my own shake because soylent has for whatever reason caused some to get kidney stones, which sounds very scary. Also studies on longevity show vegans have a lower life expectancy than vegans and health conscious non vegans
I only have these kind of shakes for lunch, I eat plenty of food that requires chewing. So far no kidney stones, but they don't run in my family, and I drink a fair amount of water too. I am certainly not vegan, but this is part of being health conscious and trying to make sure I get some vitamins that other food might be low in. I'm not a health influencer, obviously, just sharing my story.
Butterfly wall Deck 3
It's so fun!
I just got back and I loved this. It’s $14 per person now. Still no birds in that area. You can’t hold the birds anymore
Thanks for the updates! I cover some of the recent changes in my video I linked in the pinned comment.
totally agree about the Royal Caribbean's app (and the website).....total disaster, but the other things mentioned though.........don't bother me at all. Voyager Class is great!
Glad you enjoy it, it's a great sized ship!
What month was this taken? Thanks for your video,
This was in September 2023!
We just went on quantum of the sea to Alaska only to find out that the north star attraction had been broken for a year. We were never told when we booked the reservations that wasn’t working. One of the main attractions and they sold us the package telling us. It was working only to find out it doesn’t.? After complaining to customer service they did not care. Make sure that the attractions are working and especially the Northstar..
I had no idea! That definitely seems like something they should mention in several places! I certainly went on the cruise expecting to be able to go on the North Star (if I could secure a free spot), so making it clear that it would never be open is crucial! Thank you for sharing, hopefully people see this and eventually someone responds when it reopens!
The link to the Fahren LED Bulb didn't work for me. Amazon says "sorry we coulnd't find the page"
Thanks for letting me know! I've updated the link to the new listing, it looks like they may be even brighter than the ones I have!
What's the point on putting some rough acrylic plate in front of a telescope? I mean, we spend lots of money to get nice pictures, no deformations... all ruined by some bad acrylic stuff :D
It's an easy way to attach the solar filter! I'd love to see a comparison of image quality with and without the plate, do you have a video showing that?
Better than separating the beds on an inside cabin.We push them together and push everything to the right... and place both end tables on the left, which gives you the best of both worlds.
That's an interesting idea I haven't heard of before, I'll have to try it in my next inside room!
I was thinking if they would be okay with this because it would make things so much easier and save bed space since you can cuddle up to the wall
