» Apollo contest benefits Behind the Scenes
Mar 09, 2010 - 10:49 AM - by Kelite
Kelite's Avatar Apollo Design Technology recently made the first donation to Behind the Scenes from first year sales of the winning templates in their annual Design-A-Pattern Contest. Each year, Apollo is committed to adding new gobo designs to their library of standard patterns but they wanted to get the actual users more involved so in 2008 they created the Design-A-Pattern Contest. Anyone can submit a design and those entries that meet Apollo's basic criteria for what makes a good standard pattern are posted on Apollo's website and the public votes for their favourite.

The first contest resulted in 30 entries and five winning patterns submitted by R. Christopher Stokes, Dwayne Thomas, Morgan Landrum, Todd Proffitt, and Gary McGarity. As recognition for being selected, the designer's name is included in the pattern name, the designs are added to Apollo's marketing materials, and Apollo makes a donation to Behind the Scenes based on a portion of first year sales.

"These elements combined to generate the user interest and interaction we were looking for," commented Monty McWilliams, VP marketing for Apollo Design. "Based on the number of submissions and winners in year two, we anticipate the programme's contribution to Behind the Scenes will continue to grow."

Alright CBers, sharpen your pencils and send us your favorite gobo designs!

Kelite's Avatar Design-A-Pattern Contest is Back
To provide actual users the opportunity to design a standard pattern, Apollo is launching our 3rd Annual Design-A-Pattern Contest. With increased participation and quality entries each year, this contest is ideal for anyone who has a favorite design and wishes it could be purchased at standard pricing.

Submissions will be accepted through April 29, 2010. The entertainment lighting world will then vote for their favorite submissions to determine which are worthy of inclusion in Apollo’s standard gobo library. For complete details, go to Apollo Design | Design a Pattern Contest

» Two ETC Ions reported stolen
Mar 02, 2010 - 2:03 PM - by derekleffew

I am sorry to report that two Ion boards have been stolen from our theatre.
The first was sitting on the tech table overnight. The second was stolen
from a locked booth and the security cable was cut. We are in the Southern
California area. I would appreciate any heads up y'all might have about an
incredible deal on an Ion board from some guy selling 'em from the back of
his van.

On this last heist, the a#@hole left a bottle of Pepto Bismol, latex gloves
and a screwdriver. So we are looking for a thief with indigestion or
ulcers--hopefully the latter--and bleeding at that!

Oh, and add to that a $25000.00 projector stolen from the booth a couple of
weeks before.

Thanks,
