Resurrecting my own post with updates in our current Covid world.The new Ion Xe, Dell monitors, two fader wings (one still in its box... because I was a fool and didn't check the measurements, so I don't have desk space for both fader wings), and 4x Altman AP-150s arrived over the Summer, I've...

Different experience out here in Asia. In Hong Kong we shut schools down the first week of February and transitioned immediately into virtual classrooms. International Schools and Private schools that were not followig the local HK Govt curriculum were allowed to reopen campuses from the 20th...

I'm still using an Express 72/144 in my school's Drama Studio. Had the budget AND the approval this year to finally upgrade and have ordered an Ion XE 20, two fader wings, and two Dell touch-screens. My training/thought processes are all geared towards old school lighting presets etc... so I'm...

thanks for the responses. We're purchasing the full licence for QLab as it will pretty much be more than enough for our needs (secondary school theatre programme). I'm looking at Isadora myself in my own time, looks like I've got a bit of playing around to do. The interactive aspects are what...

Thanks for the feedback. If I get anything in the bar/linear format in the future, it'll be for very specific uplighting cases.Incidentally, I have arranged a site visit and consultation with the main distributor for ETC and Altman here in Hong Kong, I'll have a chat with them about the...

Oh believe me, I've come from all kinds of school "drama studios"... coming to my current school years ago as an actor before I ever became the technician here made me go "oooh wow", it is still pretty well spec'd. When I was growing up we had 2 drama studios, one was a converted classroom with...

Sorry to partially resurrect an older thread, but I've just been asked last-minute, to do some research and figure out specs/prices for projectors/screens what we would need, to do the start of immersive projections in our Drama Studio space at my school. We went to talk about the tech needs...

Just thought I'd include a couple of pictures today as I actually have some time where there isn't a class of kids in the space.The room is currently split into two spaces, with independent lighting control by a SmartFade 24/96.You can see in the pics that there isn't much clearance above...

I can do this in one half of the space, and have done it occassionally. The room can be split into two halves with a dividing wall creating a medium and small set of spaces. In the smaller side there is clearance. In the medium space, which is also where the lightingboard lives most of the...

Hi everyone, de-lurking after browsing these forums for the past few years. I'm the Drama Technician at my secondary school (Form 7 to 13, international school in Hong Kong, IB curriculum) and I've been asked to submit a budget for gradual upgrades and wishlist items for the next thee years. I...

Hi everyone, I've been browsing around and looking to see if anyone's already answered my question but doesn't look like they have. I'm based in Hong Kong and have been hired as the Performing Arts Technician at an international secondary (high school) here. I have basic competence with...
