Thanks for your input everyone.. Ok so I'm getting more of an idea how this might work. Since we are a high school, we obviously have a relatively limited budget. We are most likely looking to rent a projector for this project, not purchase, so that broadens our horizon a bit. Now lets say...

My director decided 2 weeks before the run of our show that he wants to use rear projection instead of a number of cloth drops. Sounds great, except he put me in charge of it! I have not the slightest clue what I'm doing so I turn to you all for help. Heres my list of questions..answer as many...

That is exactly what I'm looking for!! Thanks for your help. As for one of your questions regarding how I'm going to wire it...I plan on running a cable straight down from each of the existing house lights which are already on dimmers to avoid unneccesary cabling.

Hey CB,I have used google, the search tool, and lightnetwork for hours and havent been able to find anything. My high school is doing a production of holes next month and I want to replace the regular house lights with fixtures similar to those found in a mine or cavern. For example...

Hello again Sorry about the double post I'm full of questions today. Alright so heres the deal: We are renting 16 Morpheus S3 color scrollers to use in source fours. We have 3 different pipes that will have the scrollers on them and there will be a power supply on each pipe. Each power...

Soundlight thats a good question I can ask around at our venue and see if we can get 208 to one of the circuits. I may go with the VL2500 instead but I prefer a wash fixture. Ill keep you posted.

Hi Controlbooth, Im tyring to get some rentals figured out for an upcoming musical that im LDing. Im renting through Cal Stage if anyone is wondering. Anyways, im looking to rent 4 moving lights, at first they were going to be Vl 3000s but then I realized that those are 208v fixtures and that...

I agree it looked live..and I only say that because it was horrible. And I'd have to agree the LD sucked..so much budget so little talent

Hey Guys.. I was wondering what you usually size you usually print your light plots. I want a fairly big one and I'm taking the file to Kinkos in the morning. Thanks for your help..

Yes this is the first thing I thought about, but one problem. Our console's DMX cable is jammed into the port in the board and is stuck there permanently (I think). I have tried unscrewing the connector and everything else i can think of but I think it is there to stay.. Any suggestions on...

Hey whats up. I happened upon this site from google a couple months ago and until now have just been looking around but it seems like a worthwhile thing to be a prt of...so here I am! My names Jared and I go to Northwood High in Orange County California. Ive only been into technical theatre...

Ha, Reminds me of when our coller scrollers decided to 'Calibrate' in the middle of act II of our musical. Good Times.

\ Thanks Thomas, I want to use LightFactory because our current board is horrible for dance shows (ie Confusing timecode, small amount of subs, etc..). Basically just to avoid a headache for this years spring show. Anwyays, I tried this the other day and couldnt seem to get it to work but...

Hey guys, Im fairly new this site and the lighting world in general and I have a question regarding a dmx/usb 'dongle' my teacher purchased recently. We have an ETC dimming installation at our school and regularly use a ETC Expression 125 console but I want to be able to control the lights...
