Re: Hey i thought we could share pic of our shows
I am about to start turning a shop into a theatre for the Adelaide Fringe. Concrete floor one level, stage made from 6 risers. 9 foot ceiling and wings made from hanging fabric. The whole place sits about 50 people. No 3 phase power. I am going to use single phase DMX operated 4 dimmer packs as I have at least 4 different power circuits available to me but it still limits me to 12 channels. The other circuit is for sound. I will post pictures as I go along.

Playback only I hope.
I know a product that is probably a perfect fit, but alas it is quite expensive.
What the heck do they plan on putting in there?

One show is playback only. One show plans to use a single mic plus playback the other show hasn't sent tech specs yet.
I'm putting in an 8 channel Mackie with two self powered speakers for front of house and one for foldback. Probably Yamaha as I can get a good deal.
The 50 seated is in cabaret mode with tables, I'm trying to convince them to use theatre seating and seat 80. They do have to pay my bill after all and I'm putting in an operator too.
Edit: I just realised what you were probably asking.
One show is a two hand political drama about a prisoner in jail.
One is a one man theatre piece don't know the plot yet and the third is a solo comedian/muso. Guitar I believe and he doesn't want the guitar amplified

Check it out, I designed a tour for Dave Matthew's band. It's due to go out 2070
.
No really, I just downloaded sketchup some god knows hours ago, had an idea for a set, and went with it. Happened to have a place for drums and a keyboard, so DMB sprung to mind. This is mostly a set design idea, I liked the truss design but I paid absolutely no attention to fixtures, I just threw some on the truss so it wouldn't look bare. Oh, and if you look close there's a secret with the PARs that I am NOT going to bother fixing.
Sketchup's actually a great program, it took me 4-6 hours to make this, but it's very easy to use when it's not making no sense (which drove me crazy a couple times). At any rate though, it's free, so to me that's what counts.
Truss, mac2ks, figures, drums, pictures, all not mine. Set's mine, for better or worse, and all the time spent wrangling with the models, well, that's long since gone.
The file is actually too big for me to upload a zip of it, god knows it made my computer run slow.

When did you start with VW? It's a neat little program, from my limited experience with it.

Its hardly a little program, I think that is what makes using it the hardest.

Right, here we go, the photos from our production of "The Vertical Hour" by David Hare. You can view them all on my website, but here are a few for you to look at also. Please check out my site as it lists all the cast and design staff for their due credit.

That's a pretty cool set, ice. Interesting how it's not a box shape, but moreso looks like an island on stage, which you did well with lighting so it doesn't look like the rest of it is just painted black.
Oh and cool cyc! Are those gobos (singular) or did you do more to get the window effect?

As for the windows in the office scene, those are templates. In fact they are the Rosco 77135 "Regency" tempaltes.
Island on a rake in the middle of stage with only one entrance on SR. Lighting the sky cyc upstage was tricky on a ccount of the fact that it is just kind of floating there, significantly below a border and above the deck. Getting a ground row was interesting as US of the show deck is in sight lines from the balconies. MR-16 Zip Strips are our friends!

The pattern on the white scrim is Gam 630 "Homespun 2." That was also a really tricky idea, because the LD didn't know what the scenic designer wanted before we got to tech, so we were playing with that every night until opening.
Re: Hey i thought we could share pic of our shows
Are you running the show? If you are, bring a board game for the times that you get bored. Seriously, with scenes up to 50 minutes long, it gets boring really fast! Don't get me wrong, it is a great show, very interesting, but after you see it 15+ times...
Re: Hey i thought we could share pic of our shows
luckily I don't! I still wanna see it though.
Re: Hey i thought we could share pic of our shows
Hello, This is one of my first posts, I designed this with a friend, we're both in 10th grade and it was really fun to design this show.
First picture is full stage, I really liked the R02 in the gobos, It was her idea and It turned out pretty good I think.
Second is my favorite aspect of the show, A gobo! This was my favorite.

Oh, Charc, can't you tell???
Looks really good. I was no where near that in 10th grade.
