    Mixers/Consoles Digico S21

    I really wasn't expecting M32 price point, but something in the range of the Midas Pro1 or Yamaha QL5 range. That mid-upper range console market could use some more competition, and I think an attempt by Digico would be great to shake things up a bit. The lower end digital consoles are really...

    Firing specific cues on ETC Element Console with QLab

    This is completely possible! I just finished up writing an AppleScript to automate movie showings in our theater, using Quicktime for previews, DVD player for the movie, and a USB to MIDI adapter to send specific cues to the ETC Express light board.Check out something like this for hardware...

    It's official and the details are up!Cobalt 20 is the console, then they have the Cobalt Nomad (a PC solution), and a server version. The spec sheet on the Cobalt 20 references a Cobalt 10, presumably a smaller console, and references using a Congo running the Cobalt software as a backup...

    Defying Gravity Effect- Wicked

    If you watch this news report on YouTube you can see the exact method they use to "fly".It's essentially a modified bucket lift built into the stage floor with some safety mechanisms. All the mechanics are hidden by the "cape" and lighting. Ingenious.YouTube - Behind the Scenes - Wicked -...

    Online Production Management

    Well the problem is that the director (also the head of the theatre department) and myself (the crew chief, also a student) are the ones who end up in charge of all the paperwork and scheduling. We don't really have a SM, per say, they are mainly in charge of calling the onstage cues, cueing...

    Videotaping Copyrighted Performances

    Our director and I both take a strong position on absolutely no photography or videotaping during a production, as well as during rehearsals. We just don't want to take any chances. We make it very clear in the playbill and with pre-show announcements that audio/video capture of the show is...

    Scrim Placement, Why?

    Thats what I figured, I was just trying to see if there would have been a reason a WHITE scrim would have been installed BETWEEN the third electric and the cyc. I doubt it has ever been used in the auditoriums 10 year life so far, and just wanted to see if there would be some kind of cool...

    Scrim Placement, Why?

    The thing is, the scrim is the height of the stage and we have only about 10' of fly space. Sooo it is either on stage or it is tied up onto the batton. It would have to be visible for the entire show. This is probably why it is in the very back of the stage. What I am wondering is, if we...
