    Automated Fixtures Jands Stage CL..... Moving heads?

    I have tried it and I can just say dont do it. If you have hours and hours to spend building scenes you can maybe run 4 decent movers off of it but you will move at a glacial pace and think WTF far too many times to count.The stage CL is a great for small rigs with some LED and dimmers but...

    Dry Ice Machine Rental in Vegas?

    Its a hotel thing they aren't crazy about dry ice. Its not outright banned but it can be difficult depending on the hotel.I think kinetic has a few and they should ship, how many do you need and for how long? I might have a guy that can take care of you.

    Dry Ice Machine Rental in Vegas?

    Disposable Confetti Cannons

    When ever a client wanted to use confetti we would charge a $500 clean up fee, require a spotter for each cannon and we were required to pack and seal each cannon.The last part seamed odd to me so I started asking why and apparently on a high school dance show my old TD was working some kids...

    Automated Fixtures Changing over from blue powercon to true1

    I know the flange will physically fit in the vipers I just want to make sure there isn't anything lurking in the corners of the true one connection. It should just be a 20 amp rated connection and the internals should just be a pass through but I wanted to verify.

    Student Projects for Lighting Design Class

    One thing I would suggest from when I worked in a theatre as the MLO and worked with guest designers.Have one program and one call the looks they want, 1-4 at 50 etc, without their plot in front of them. The amount of time I have had wasted by designers that didn't know what they had in their...

    Spark FX and cold fire pyro

    The reliability is a concern but we are renting genuine sparktacular units so hopefully they will fire when they should. This is also a kind of test run to decide if they are worth purchasing, I'm on the fence with what I have read.I talked to them and to the Fire martial in AZ, a true...
