Hey, I thought we could share pictures of our shows...

Hey nope thats not fog thats poly snow seeing as we set the show in the winter thats about a 100 pounds of it but it coverd our stage perfectly.

[avkid]

isn't that fake snow highly flammable?

[jonhirsh]

Well thats a good question it is if not treated properly. You can purches items for this purpous we bought flame retardent poly snow but this comes with a large price tag esspecialy for a highschool show we were constatly replacing the snow over the run due to dirt and we went through about $1200 worth for 5 shows it was a real job to get it up off the deck i still find it in my pockets almost 7 months latter

MKE: you defanatly have an interesting space. I am not sure I have ever seen anything like it. It looks like you guys do a really nice job with it. You certainly have pleny of lights for such a small area... We probably have the same number of lights, but they are distriubted quite differently, and we are lighting a much bigger space.

I am not a real expert on light, but those all like like really nice looks!

$1200 dollars worth of fake snow?!!!!!! That is like more money than I have seen in the last 3 years spent on expendables and rentals for everything at my school!

Well i will make this the last coment on the subject only because this isnt the point of the thread. but here it goes as you could see it was the only set pice really other then the truss so thats where we decided to spend our money to make it look right. We do not have a shop so we can not build set pices so we try to come up with intresting ways of using what we have.

The space that the production was done in is a hall with a basketball court. A set was built on it and portable seating was brought in. The lighting was on bars that were sitting ontop of the gurders. It was a pain to get anything up there and whaen it was all done we had to change filters as they had burnt out. I ended up having to spend several hours re focusing them as the only way to get up there over the seating was using a extension ladder.
