    Dance Lighting Suggestions

    I am a student and I was hired to design a student repertory dance concert that takes place in a gym. They lay down marley, have pipe and drape along the back wall and 2 sets of pipe and drape to create "wings" on the side of the stage. In the past they have rented 4 booms (one in each wing as...

    Controlling House lights from old console with DMX

    There is a very old Legacy console from 1991 Lehigh Electric in a space I'm working in. I have chosen to set that aside and use my nomad to program and run a show I was hired to design. While the connection to the dimmer rack is DMX, the house lights run through a completely different plug. I...

There is little to no budget but the school does have a decent stock of Source 4 pars and Ellipsoidals as well as a couple LED Pars. I'm an ammature theatriacal...

    Star Effect

    Hello, I need either a cheap star drop, a cheap way to do a DIY star drop, or figure out someway to put stars on the cyc. Will just a couple fixtures with gobos on the cyc work even if the cyc is also being lit itself? I know cheap is a subjective term but I'd say I have around $500 to get a...

    Finding Needed Cable Lengths

    Thank you for your response. The issue is that there is no circuit map for the space (or any drawing for that matter) and I do not have the time nor the knowledge to create one myself. The cable is indeed included in the rental (within reason) I just need to know how much (and of what cable) to...

    Hello, I have been asked by my old high school to assist with their annual induction of National Honors Society. They want me to add some neat/new things to do with lighting so that it's not the same old boring ceremony year after year. It still has to remain a very formal event. I have access...

    LED Cyc Lights

    Have you used the Chauvet Ovation C-805FC before? Would one fixture on the floor be enough to evenly wash a 25-30' tall cyc and be able to evenly split it? Alos if my cyc is approx. 45-50' long how many fixtures would you suggest I use?

    2 projectors controlled by 1 computer

    My area of concentration is more so to do with lighting and I don't know too much about projections. The designer wants to hang a projector on either front of house boom and aim it at the opposite house wall to project images during scenes to give the audience the feel that they too are in the...
