My brother found this while helping clear out a storage space on the campus of Pratt Institute. I dont think its vintage or rare, but it certainly large. I believe its light source is an arc of electricity. Probably mean on the eyes up close when its on. I also wonder how much internal pressure...

Does anyone know any details from what happened? The news keeps saying that it was during the installation, but from the looks of that video that Lsly posted I'm drawn to think that this was post installation, after all it looks like the screen is on and being used.I hope that the people...

I agree with everything that knicknargel said, especially the weight problem. Those are large doors and adding all that extra weight is only going to put more stress on those wheels in the track.If you like the idea of using steel i would say looking to a low weight steel tube that you could...

Re: Shrinking Rosco MirrorLast year i worked on a production of A Chorus Line that had 8 roughly 6' x 14' mirrors with a heat shrunk Mylar covering on it. Looking back on it there are manly lessons that i have learned: 1- Build the frame to hold a lot of tension, after all you have a small...

I had to do this once. i made a real tree (not a drop) , when it came time to make it full of leaves i flew in a drop that was clear plastic painted with leaves to perfectly match over the branches of the existing tree. if i were to redo it, i would consider making the leaves physical, possibly...

I recently had to mic a flute for a production. I used an SM58 on a mic stand, sounded fine. Just make sure you place it directly infront of the musicians mouth.

heres my results from tv fool TV Fool (idk if you can see that, but if not then the address is 77 marsh ave, staten island ny 10314) what info from that would tell me a good group to choose

they are the ulx pro series. and im using the standard antennas that come with the units not any paddles. the rehearsal space and the performance space are a good distance from eachother so i will try out the same frequencies that werent working at before when i get into the new place first...

well the performance is indoors, the rehearsal was outside in a park which is what i figured would be the issue. last year i didnt have a problem with using the frequencies the mics i rented came on, but those were worse quality mics. ill try out scan for new frequencies and testing. anyone know...

I recently rented 6 wireless shure mics from my old school for a performance in a different venue. when i did an outdoors rehearsal yesterday i was having a lot of problems with the reception cutting out. btw the actual performance is indoors. the recievers were no more that 10 feet away from...

Re: hate to burst a bubbleMy school currently has one 96 channel Sensor Dimmer Rack, but with new budget coming i have put in a request for an additional 96 channel rack to be installed, as well as some intelligent lights. We currently have at etc express 48/96 but will be upgrading to hold...

I know most...

this isn't really a quote but something my group does before each show. we get into a huddle, and prey to a random person place or thing. we have prayed to things like the theater god, etc. We usually like to try to find something that relates to something that happened to us that day. we make...

This year my school got a new theater teacher. She had a theater business for 25 years. It was also my first year at the school although my brother was a junior their already. Before she was there, there was not too good of a theater program. We did have a few big shows a year, but none of them...

This happened last year During our SING, which is a student run show where each grade gets to perform a show they wrote them self. The bars holding the side curtains at my high school used to be a little too close to the first of our booms. So one day while doing a run through with the...
