Agree with this, more info is needed. On the other hand my first reaction as a designer is why is a "Box Set" critical in the first place? There are a lot more interesting things a designer can do without the limitations of a box set. Get out of the box!;)

Re: Contol Booth for Film & Television???Tell me more?! Good idea.Actually I just opened iChat, and I quickly realized this might be doable as it's not littered with logos or ads and the computers we use on the show are all macs. Might be a good solution. Only trouble is convincing...

Re: Contol Booth for Film & Television??? The problem is, this isn't something small time where I am doing the editing or can expect our editing department to do that for us. Here, it's up to us (The Almighty Art Department) to CREATE everything!I often think how much easier life would be...

Hello, besides Theatre, I also work in an Art Department for a Television show. I often have a bunch of questions that I would love a community to help answer like I do here, so I was wondering how many people on here also work in the Film Industry. AND is there a site just like this for the...

It's going to be random paper, legal and standard sized, mostly yellowed tones (it's set in the early 1900's). We'll supplement the piles with books. I bet we could fatten up the piles with news paper with the folded part cut off. The Audience is pretty close in this theatre.

Hello, does anybody have any suggestions on building tall stacks of paper without using a ton of paper and keeping them reasonably light? I need about 3 stacks around 3' tall. They will want to look somewhat disheveled.Help?
