Now, some cues work exactly with my old ones and then others require a bit of changes. I’ll also go through and create some new custom looks I feel would fit the show well. Another thing I’ve been doing is getting baggage for all my utilities like tools, cables, notebooks, etc. all gathered and placed in a certain way so I’ll be efficient as possible for loading in and out.
