thanks guys! i will keep that in mind.

I have been acting at my school for years and i am now a junior. for the past year or so i have managed set construction more and more. I have even undertaken large parts of designing the set. But i have been faced with something quite odd. I decided to quit acting and just do the technical side...

I like how it looks. depending on how far away the audience is though you may lose the effect of the black eye and blood. like everything in theater from acting to set to makeup everything has to be over done. maybe using a little more dark colors and would help.

oh that sucks. my director was going to make me act for our spring play. i told him that if i had to act there would be no set and id just not do any tech. haha. he let me do what i wanted :)

yea i just went and did that after reading your explanation. Thank you very much. its very much a genius idea. and i plan on using that.:grin:

i see i see. the only thing im really having any trouble imagining is how the bungee chords work

yea good idea. haha well first off i would like to make it snow at some point or another. ive made some small models of snow cradles and what not. im thinking a snow bag is best, but i do not know the best material for this. the demo i have made is plastic, kind of loud when shaken or bounced...

if my budget was low i would consider using pvc piping for the frame and supports. if no one was going to be standing or walking on the board possibly use a thinner piping but if people will be on it use about 4 inches. We have had to do that a few times at our theater

hello, our high school is going to be doing the play Annie in a few months and i design and build all the set stuff. Right now i'm bouncing ideas around. I have only designed a few sets so far. so really any advice or ideas for this play would be great. Thanks!
