Communicating Doors by Alan AyckbournMy set design class had to do this show and we all loved it. Its a great, funny murder/time travel play that is great for beginning set designers, and even more experienced ones can find this one a challenge.Defiantly check it out!

I have the same recommendations as the others that have posted before me. But I would like to add that they are Rosco I-Cues. The Rosco website has the user manual and some more info. Check it out. Rosco US : Lighting Equipment : I-Cue

I work for a event lighting company and we both use and rent Midgets all the time with no problem, there a good spotlight.Also, something I have used in theaters before is using a Source 4 with a 19, 10, 5 degree tube with a iris. Just plug it in to a dimmer and your good to go. Its a great...

It sounds like you got a good concept for this show. When I LDed this show in college I think I did something similar to what your talking about. I would love to see a plot if you have one done and if your conferrable sending it to be to look at. My email it [email protected]. Best of...

My company is thinking about sending a few of us to the Martin light school to learn how service Martin moving lights and I wanted to know if anyone has been threw this course and what its like? Thanks

I have seen the Pocket Console® DMX Models : Baxter Controls, The Pocket Console DMX(tm) on sale for quite some time and wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with it? There are a few models and one of them (they say) can operate movers, thats the one I would most likely get, but I...

I am very excited about Blue Pony. I have been looking for something like this site for years about this is something that will make my job as a projections designer much easier. So far I have been impressed with what they offer, and I'm looking forward to updates to there collection.

do you mean just hitting steel pipes together from off stage?

Back when I was in high school we did a production of Peter Pan (the play) and we needed to replicate some cannons going off. I don't remember all the details, but we used a small device (about the same size as a deck of cards...more or less) that were placed on stage with a wire running to a...

I had a gash in my head from when a actor dropped a female stage-pin from a 20' cable on my from about 15'. Had to get 4 stitches in my forehead. But I did get a funny quote from it all. After this happened, I was in my schools infirmary for a hour getting patched up, and when I get back my LD...

I actually use a Ultimate Focus Tool and I love it. I was skeptical at first, but I got to get my hands on one at USITT and loved it. I bought one right there at the conference. Its very light and very strong. The six months I have been using it, it has very little signs of ware on it. And my...

What I would do with the hanging on the projector is buy a celling mount and either attach a I-Beam clamp to the end of the mount or weld it to the end.Of course, use safety cable for everything and if you can secure the projector directly into the cable, then I believe that to be safe.Is...

What I'm trying to do is some kind of spinning headline thing were they lie on top of each other, kind of like the effect you see in some old movies. I want to know if there are better software for what I'm doing then PowerPoint and OpenOffice? (I have a PC)And some people are censured with...

I would have never thought of this, but its such a good idea, and very obvious once I head it. I have been looking for a way to enlarge a projection that I will be doing in a few weeks and this may have saved me. Thanks! This is why I love this forum.

I have three questions. First, I'm going to be using a small, home projector for some projections during a show and after doing the math with where I'm going to hang it, it may not be a large enough projection. Is there any to "jerry-rig" a separate lens from a fresnel or S4 or from anything to...
