Hi Everyone,I am working on updating my portfolio with some Stage & Production Management information. On your paperwork, what (if anything) do you redact for submission within the portfolio? Do you remove phone numbers? Names?When you remove something, do you just put a greyed out box over...

I use the Strand Palette

Hi Everyone, I wanted to try to get some opinions/advice here. I am about to go into tech for the Mystery of Edwin Drood. If you don't know the show, the audience votes on who the murderer is - so part of the show is different every night - depending on who wins the vote.My console is a...

I was able to get the rental company to bring me 2 new fixtures. In the past I've had to personally take them to their shop to have them serviced but, due to lack of time, I was able to get the units. The next problem I had was that the shutter in one unit wouldn't completely close. Was able to...

I guess I'll have to bring them down to my rental shop to try to get them to look at the motors. That's what it definitely seems to be.

After opening up the fixtures and running them with the cover off, I found that it is a problem with the iris. Somehow two units both have the same problem. It seems like the motor doesn't want to completely open the iris. It will run a little bit and then stop and get stuck. And then there are...

So I opened all of my units up and they all have the same lens in them. It's product number 80160030, which is the 18deg standard lens that comes with the unit. Even when I attempted to switch them between units, the same size problems continued to be true. So it doesn't seem like it's the lens...

I didn't even realize that the Studio Spots had those options. Are they completely different models of the light, or is it possible to potentially get the correct lens from the rental shop and change it out myself?

Hi Everyone,I'm in tech right now so this is slightly urgent. I have 6 High End Studio Spots that I rented. The beams on 2 of them are significantly smaller (when at the same height) than the others. I tried to test the iris on both units, and it doesn't seem like it is stuck or anything, the...

This would be a fairly common thing for an electrician to do, I assume? Do you know (on average) the cost of installing 208 v outlets?

It's actually even worse than a custodian. We have to wait for public safety (I work for a high school, but we are on a college campus) to find the room and unlock it for us. They typically bring up the wrong set of keys, and then spend a while questioning why we need access.

Hi Everyone,To preface, I know that there are liability restrictions about what can and can't be suggested in this thread. Also, if anything here requires electrical work to be done, I will hire the appropriate/trained personnel to do it, and won't be trying to make it work myself.That...

I've seen a lot of classroom "clickers" but I haven't been able to find one that really seems like I could track what each one did. It seems like most just give percentages of how many people picked each answer.

I will have to look into that. I've never really used Artnet before.

Hi Everyone, I was interested in seeing if anyone had any experience doing something like this. I work for a summer camp that does a big game show day each year. This year, I am looking to incorporate the ipads into the game show to make it more interactive. Basically, I am looking for...
