Alright so a
bit about the theater first. It's Black Box. I've got 5 catwalks with a
batten for hanging lights on each side. Each
batten has 15 2.4k circuits there are also
socapex jacks on 24 of the farthest to reach circuits. Each
batten is 18 feet above the floor so an "ideally" placed
instrument will have a
throw of about 22 feet. There is also a piece of uni-strut running on each side of each
catwalk at about 17 feet above the
deck. A
proscenium style seating configuration will create a
stage that is about 40X33... (I'm getting a 40
foot traveler) with 13 feet of wingspace on each side. If we were doing a show and wanted the maximum space with minimal wingspace (no grand) I can stretch that out to about 58'X36'. An
arena seating configuration creates a 23'X23'
stage area.
Thrust is about 29'X34'. And Corner is about 35'X34'. I'm getting two racks of
Strand C-21 dimmers and a
Strand Classic
Palette console.

Lot's of

etc...
-A color
laser printer to be able to print color transparencies for the Selecons
-Vectorworks and Lightwright
-24" HP color plotter printer (I wanted the 42" but there isn't enough space in my office).
That's the lighting part of the package. I've also got shop tools, music,
fog machines, rigging gear, a
scaffold, and a lot of other stuff... this is just the lighting equipment.
I'm particularly curious about
feedback on:
-My balance of Fresnels vs S4' PARS
-the heavy lean on 6" fresnels over 8"
-the lack of strips... I decided to cut them and go with more fresnels and
cyc lights instead
-barndoors do I need one for EVERY
fresnel or maybe only 75%
-going with Nexeras for
wash lights but Seachangers for spots.
