Stage Seminars presents workshops covering theatrical design and technical production methods and techniques. Primarily known for Stage Lighting Super Saturday held annually since 2005, Stage Seminars spanned several industries including corporate theater, corporate events, theatrical extravaganzas, musical theater, and more. Scott C. Parker has been teaching design and technical production for over 25 years and has posted dozens of videos used either during his classes or specifically made for KZread.
In 2014 Scott departed academia when he and his family moved to Philadelphia in support of his wife's appointment to the faculty at Temple University. In 2015 Scott embarked on a new career in corporate theater and discovered a wide range of opportunities to share his knowledge with corporate event technicians. During the Covid 19 shut down of 2020 Scott has founded the Event Technicians Resource Group in an effort to offer resources to those working in the event staging industry.

Is there a way to do both at the same time. I ask cause im taking piano lessons over zoom and i want the instructor to see my hands and face
Three antiviruses on VirtusTotal flagged it as malicious
The basics are missing!,, I don't have any of that on my zoom? So is it not available on zoom basic?
The ULTIMATE OBS video. Thank you very much !
Thank you. You're a great teacher. Thank you so much; you are a great teacher. This was extraordinarily helpful.
thank you
hello!!! nioce video cant fine 10 person table in the program. can you help ?
excellent job! loved the couch :OO
Thanks so much. I'm posting more drawing how-to videos. Hope you like them as well.
I love this! Thank you, thank you thank you!
You are so welcome! Do you also use Vectorworks? I have videos for that as well.
@@ScottCParkerStageSeminars No can't afford to buy Vectorworks and don't have access to it but I would like to see the videos. I had some training in Maya but the instructor was not at all a confidence builder. I am doing this on my own. I have a degree in math then went to one of the best architecture schools in the country, after which I attended a school of visual technology and fine art, and there had coursework in the Adobe creative suite, drawing, painting, theatre history, and stagecraft ... I am thinking about preparing for the scenic designers union apprenticeship but they suggest I have actual work experience before applying so I am trying for positions in the design departments of local theatres. I've used AutoCAD for architecture, not theatre so I am doing exercises to update myself for that.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
excellent nice thank you.
Most welcome. thanks for watching
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
Great video. The only improvement would have been to show the whole mixer . Great stuff
I have another video in the works covering the entire mixer. Stay tuned.
Am hoping to use obs with zoom to accomplish the following: using Power Toys Fancy Zones to make 4 windows. Most of display will be taken by two horizontal windows containing two Word documents. On the right I would like to have two smaller square windows. One will be my webcam (teacher), the other will be the student who will appear full screen in speaker view in the zoom meeting. The first three seem doable. However, not sure about the window for the student. If I assign the zoom meeting window to the small square window and the session is in speaker mode, will this work (student speaking will appear full screen in the zoom session and hopefully be large enough for question and answer from me in the webcam window. Questions will concern what is in the two Word documents. Unfortunately, it seems that when I try to use the webcam camera as a source in obs, it does not appear when using the screen share (the 2nd camera option in zoom). So, have tried to use the notebook camera in conjunction with the logitech but no success. Question: is what I am attempting impossible? Or am I just setting this up incorrectly. If impossible, do you have some suggestions as to how to use additional cameras to accomplish my goal? Thanks.
Hi John, without setting up and testing all that you've described, it's difficult to give a totally accurate answer. I have a playlist of several videos about using OBS to control several cameras and screen windows here: kzread.info/head/PLSFOXpBFAtPAaFKeh6xjybCg1whVqFHZy Do you use more than one monitor? It's a great help when trying to show screen windows which include those incoming zoom windows.
This was great. I was just wondering how to make the tabletop be in the small screen instead of the human? Any suggestions?
You should be able to choose which camera feeds which window.
I ned to learn how to do this!
I hope this video was helpful.
Thank you, this has been really helpful
You're very welcome!
This is so helpful. I'm a preschool teacher and I'm not tech savvy. Your video went straight to the point and it helped me calm down lol. Yes, I've been panicking 'cause I have no idea how I'll set-up my online classroom 😬 Thank you so much!!
I'm so glad. One step at a time and you'll be great.
Hi Scott. Just some sympathy from a fellow Vectorworks channel although I've lost interest in the last few years. I'm sad by also reassured by your play counts on your videos. I too have many VW videos with sub-1k views while some British 15-year old stumbling through a poorly planned tutorial on making a gun in Blender has 50k Oh well.
Thanks Sean. Replied directly via email.
Title of this video should include OBS, so as to not waste people's time searching for a solution to use multiple cameras using zoom. Using OBS significantly increases the hardware system requirements for high motion videos.
I'm sorry you didn't catch the mention of OBS in the description before wasting some of your time. Though all machines are different, on mine OBS takes up about 4% of my video resources. As it is, Zoom is not great for high motion videos on its own.
I can't speak for other people, but reading the video description before watching the video isn't optimal, as the video is already playing by the time the description is accessible. Obviously, I'm not seeking computer advice to use your devices, but mine. I'm running an old 2008 white macbook. Big difference between zoom and zoom + OBS.
I'm an artist and am trying to teach students how to paint a still life...I need to be able to not only show them my canvas that I'm painting on but also my still life set up that's in front of me that I'm painting AND my palette where I'm mixing colors. I have my Mac so that I can talk to the students and they can see my face and three webcams,, two Logitech and my dslr as a webcam showing my canvas. I'm wondering if the software you mentioned would be allow me to show the 3 webcams at once while I'm painting....Thanks.
Fantastic. I hope this worked out well for you.
Nice short video that immediately showed me what I need to do to prepare for a Zoom classroom in January. All I need is a camera and tripod now ! Thanks so much, I will be trying this out soon.
I hope all worked out well for this semester. Thanks for watching.
cool video thanks. how powerful is your computer? laptop or desktop? CPU pegging could crash zoom kinda risky unless powerhouse computer. thoughts?
Yes, it's a fairly powerful computer here. One of the main issues when using more than one camera has to do with the USB system inside the computer. Each USB bus (channel) will handle only so many cameras. Some only one per channel. Even though USB ports can be used by several devices at one. Video takes up a lot of space and USB ports will limit the number of cameras they'll support.
what I has hoping to learn was how to use a SINGLE LAPTOP and two USB cameras to have both cameras connected to the single laptop and then the audience will see two different views of my system setup.
Did you get your system to work? Here's another video where I use two cams at once. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dIZr1cGHedC7ZMo.html
Stodoys is nice for that.
Can you use two cameras simultaneously?

I love this, thank you so much... please do more
Thank you! Will do!
I think your presentation is great. Personally, I don't think speeding up your presentation is necessary. It is the right pace for me and for many others. Thank you.
I appreciate that! I just don't want to waste people's time.
Where can we purchase the book sir

Hi! OBS virtual camera is not showing up as a camera option in Zoom. What can I do to have Zoom recognize it as a camera? Thanks for this super in-depth video, this is helping me create a more professional look for my online art classes.
Sorry for my lack of reply. I hope you found a solution.
@@ScottCParkerStageSeminars Hi there, yes I figured it out! I used NDI virtual camera. Thanks for your reply!
i would like to ask what type / brand of mic are you using because of good quality
Hi John, It's a broadcast-level mic. The Electro-Voice RE20. Here's my affiliate link to Amazon. amzn.to/3iyAC4c Another mic I use that's in the high-end consumer market is the Yeti. amzn.to/3iyAC4c
The Yeti works by itself as it has a built in sound card. The RE20 needs a preamp and sound card to work.
Great stuff, super helpful and clear.
Glad it was helpful!
Can you talk about how you made the report? And is there a way to show the GRAND TOTAL of seats and tables for ALL combined sections?
Oop
great interested in seeing how you attach the camera which points down to your pad. is it on a tripod?
Hi Caroline, I"m using a microphone stand like this one amzn.to/3ueTkk5 with one of these adapters amzn.to/2PS2LXC that holds the camera.
Hi. This was such a helpful video. I am setting up to connect a Brownie unit for an art demonstration and this will work brilliantly. Many thanks for the upload.
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect! I have been looking for this type of camera/video feed control for Zoom for board meetings. Thank you so much for posting this Scott!
You're very welcome! I'm glad it was helpful.
How do you do two cameras in Zoom at the same time? For piano lessons I want one camera pointed at my piano keyboard filling a long horizontal panel on the zoom screen I send out. And I want to other camera pointed at my face in a smaller panel on the zoom screen so people can see me talking to them. I've seen it done so I know it's possible but I don't know how.
Hi there. check here in my video. Think this is what you're trying to do. One camera pointing down (in your case down on the keys) and the other camera on you. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJukj7Kmnd2vidY.html Here's another video I did showing camera switching using a program called OBS that feeds into Zoom. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4OWrbKGpNi8Zdo.html
Where do you find the lashing hardware in the US today? I did a couple Google searches but came up empty
shop.bmisupply.com/stage-hardware/hanging-hardware www.mutualhardware.com/search?q=lashing www.rosebrand.com/subcategory567/scenery-hardware.aspx Thanks for watching. What other videos would you like to see?
I love that style of Scenery construction. That is how I learned to build scenery back in the day. Unfortunately, so few theatres build their scenery this way any more. I find most theatres use Studio style or Hollywood style flats. Bless you from keeping the real tradition alive.
Thanks! I find lashing is still one of the fastest methods for doing scene changes. I wish more people would still teach this. Though, I understand the attraction to Hollywood flats.
A book that I love and still use sometime is "Stage Crafts" by Chris Hoggett St. martin's press.
if you stream to students through obs to zoom, how do you hear the students' audio when they ask questions etc?
Great question. Since OBS is feeding the video stream to zoom and then Zoom is broadcasting it through the zoom call itself, it doesn't actually change anything for the incoming audio and video from your students. So, they should be able to ask you questions via zoom and you should hear them from the zoom output.
@@ScottCParkerStageSeminars Thanks for your speedy answer, I will have some trial sessions and see if I can manage it!
Btw good job
Thanks.
