TECHNICAL RESOURCES
The Character Shop
A company that specializes in animatronics, makeup effects, puppets, and robotics for film. Although it is a little self-aggrandizing (well, it is a business, after all), it also includes two very good resources: an FX Glossary and FX FAQ.
Elizabethan Costuming Page
This is an excellent site for both amateur and professional costumers (and students of course), with sections on history, design and even construction techniques. A "Monthly Costume Feature" directs the reader to other excellent sites of interest. This site is very thorough, and definitely worth a visit (even if you're not a costumer).
Glossary of Technical Theatre Terms
From the UK, this is a very comprehensive glossary of theatre terms (American terms are included where known). Can be browsed on line or downloaded as a text file.
The History of Costume by Braun & Scheider
Braun & Scheider published this illustrated book on costumes c.1861-1880. The web site is the book on line--an excellent resource for costume designers, directors, and those interested in fashion and period costuming.
Lighting Links
A very good collection of links to lighting resources and much more; very comprehensive and nicely presented. It even includes links to software. Maintained by Andy Ciddor with help from the Kilowatt Co.
Lighting & Electronics
Features safety guides, math formulas for lighting designers and electricians, links to news services and magazines, and a problem/solution page, in which solutions to common and not-so-common lighting problems are discussed.
The Theatre Design and Tech Jobs Page
A free online jobs bulletin board.
Audio Description
Provides information and resources for Audio Description techniques for people who are seeing-impaired.
