I'm swimming in 1KL6s.
I'm not sure if I have extra shutters though. A lot of mine are even missing shutters.
Even if I were to have shutters, they'd be so beat up.
The closest thing I can guarantee is that if we get a huge donation for new lights, I'll personally drive to Texas, drop off the lights, and drive away, not looking back (though you're supposed to check your rear-view mirror ever 20 or so seconds.
).
P.S.
Why don't you send some of those lights my way? Hehe?
P.P.S.
I actually spoke with the
TD of another Friend's school. I saw a show there Friday night. Anyways, boy, do THEY need new lights / lighting positions.
They own 2 S4s, and like a dozen or two 360Qs (older version too), 4 or scoops, and that's about it.
HOWEVER! I saw their post on the "Philadelphia
Theatre Alliance Listserv"............... (this many "..."s are necessary)
I can NOT feel bad for them.
They paid $1,000 for an LD to come in and light their show.
I looked in at their little operation. They rented in about a dozen wireless mics and receivers. I know now they must have rented in gear for the show I saw there last year: S4s, PAR64s w/ scrollers, moving head instruments, plus, an expensive LD.
Why are they paying that much money on an LD? What happened to student generated content? Okay, let's say you don't have any students into lighting... you're the TD, light it yourself! Why do you need to pay an LD that much to come in, create two color shifts (double hung) and add foliage breakups gobos coming from S.R. to S.L.? Oh, I'm sorry, he DID have downspots from the 1st
electric. Oh, and an
I-Cue. Hell, I have an I-Cue too. He only used his as a "followspot" though. He didn't use it in any cue besides a "followspot cue". Here is my main gripe with all his I-Cue business. He coulda have used it to help light the stage. It was only used as a "followspot". Okay, they have two followspots. With shallow angles, yes. They don't look so great, but it brings a student or two back into it. Also, he expects high school kids to find their light, and move with it everytime? The actors, and I-Cue were hardly in coordination, and it looked bad. And for all his $1,000 he missed a couple I-Cue moves. By which I mean, instead of having it move-in-black, it moved in a color shift, or other transition, where it stuck out like a sore thumb. I highly doubt it was an intentional movement.
