Well....I got a quote. A system that requires storage space and carts (not possible or we won't be able to use the room at all because the space currently also houses the performing platforms and chairs on racks) was $45,000. The telescoping unit was approx 3x that amount! I was told to...

Thanks to everyone for the responses. Although originally conceived as a black box, the architect did some things that make a standard set up the best option for almost all productions. Unfortunately it works against the architects design. So....the telescoping unit appears to make the most...

Hi,Looking to do a major fundraising effort to fix the seating problem in our black box. Right now we are using performing platforms and the rake is terrible. Trying to find out what products people are using for the following requirements. I've got a message to Wenger and Stage Right but not...

For the OP - I would tend to start with the 58s and an open lid. Put on headphones if possible and find the "best" sound and try to minimize the phase issues between the 2 mics. Headphones are critical to checking phase (try for the closed style) For anyone else reading the thread with access...

60? :eek: x 2 (not 60 x 2, Holy S*^& x 2 ! )

I like the idea of creating this checklist for High School Tech Students and there is no better place to do that than here on CB! If a mod thinks it is warranted, perhaps separating this thread into a sticky "What every High School Tech should Know" - might be a great idea. I think getting...

After about an hour of searching and some great reading, I felt this was the best place to post after not finding what I was looking for. I am setting up a HS crew and am looking for a "checklist" of skills that they should possess. Obviously, wrapping cables, hanging fixtures, safety...

All but the fresnels were gone. : (

I'm interested Olsonp At elmbrookschools.orgI think I can be there Friday

The Milwaukee Rep did Ragtime last year on a relatively small, thrust stage. They created a fully operational , electric vehicle that had to U turn in a very small area.http://media.jrn.com/images/34125233-mjs_ragtime_1428_desisti_sisti.jpg

I prefer a full console for all bedroom lighting situations. YMMV

Actually they just got rid of the studio equipment and space. ( I got the leftovers that I wanted which didn't include the cameras/ switchers , etc because I don't have the space). But I do have some nice racks and carts now.I'm looking at a VERY basic set up due to time and space...

Actually the ability to access the video at any point in the period is the ideal. Some teachers would prefer to get class started right away and use as a break. Others at the beginning or end of the period

Hi, not really a theater question, but there are lots of knowledgeable folks here so....When they remodeled the high school I teach in, they "upgraded" the classrooms to Smartboard computer and projectors and pulled out the TVs and cable used for the morning announcements. As a result...
