Just going through my hypotethetical, 5 feet isn't really that much; in reality it was more like 20 feet, enough weight to make the cable want to slip down further. (Though it sounds like these suggestions all still apply)thanks all!

Hey all. This came up many months ago actually, but I never found an answer and I just thought of it. The answer to this will probably be embarrassing, but I realize my (lack of) knowledge of knots is embarrassing, so here goes! Let's say you have a batten. (Only one. It's a poor theater.)...

I just don't see why a big fan and a stagehand constantly throwing handfuls of glitter into it wouldn't work. :stumped: No really, I think BillESC might have gotten it--does the director mean sparkly like light bouncing off water?

Hey, really nice--I love the look in that last picture, the entire scrim wall. Really cool.

I'm in a suspension grid space, and just this year came up with leaving tie line on the pipes (2 lengths per 5' section), so that when we run cables, the tie line is already there. Its hard to describe textually, but the line is never untied from the pipe--the knot leaves plenty of tie line so...

I thought the lighting wasn't bad, a bit plain, but it was fine. Bruce, at any rate, more than made up for it. He was rocking it for all it was worth, and it was a great time just watching him run and wheeze his way around stage.

I've never personally designed needing to use arc sources with conventionals in a theatrical setting, but when I saw Mac550s used to match EGGs (looow color temp) in my high school, it looked awful. Is that just because the designer was inexperienced using CTO, or am I right in thinking that...

Of course, the lighting always looks better when you're there (and in these, the entire concept and movement, which was pretty much the entirety of the lighting, was of course destroyed), but what the hey. Full Gallery Here And, though the picture didn't turn out as well as I...

If this is indoors, I personally wouldn't go for blue, as I associate it more as an outdoor color. That being said, if your concept is that the room is lit by moonlight through windows, I'd say go for it, best if you even have some light through your windows on the floor (nothing clicheed, now)...

here's a question.What does a pre-vis studio look like? Is it just a room with big monitors and powerful computers that have the right software (and of course a console?)

They used some of those in the first presidential debate also (unexpectedly, when inventories fell short). LD liked 'em. Was in the most recent Lighting & Sound America.

Didn't someone come on here a while ago and post about how they connected their Strand (? Wasn't ETC) board to a wireless network, and as long as their iPhone was on the same wireless network, they could use it as an RFU?

Another question for you, UMich, just because I just closed a show where I used a lot of highly saturated blue, what fixture/gel combination did you use for the blue stage left? (It almost looks like it's from one source?) p.s. Hey CB. Haven't posted here in a while...

Tieline is the black stuff on the spools, oh so much better glazed. I actually have never heard of trickline.I HATE jute twine, HATE-HATE.

Regardless of the fixture (which looks pretty sweet), I just want to point out to the ridiculousness of the url, which includes "restricted/access/zone" and "confidential."ohmygod I feel like I'm harriet the spy...
