Florida Institute of Technology and myself are excited to be able to increase our production team. Although this title may be slightly different than what I was hoping for, the description is very accurate and is very similar to most TD's.Through the pandemic and with the help of advice from...

The ESA just released their Guidelines; I would highly recommend reading it.https://www.eventsafetyalliance.org/esa-reopening-guide

I would look into Chauvet DJ's intimidator line. They have a fairly large range of sizes/prices and can do what you asked for.https://www.chauvetdj.com/products/category/moving-heads-scanners/

This was sent to me by one of the other local theaters in town, looks like the first real opening plan I have seen from a Theater, thoughts?https://ultimateclassicrock.com/covid-19-concerts-fan-pods/?fbclid=IwAR3iDkgW3mgNZuplFj4EJC2GKWfMjZky6m1Zoqxb3pg5c8xi99KA_zXpaGU

I don't want anyone to think I am in any way doing all of it on my own. As the building "expert" my job is to make building specific recommendations and recommendations to events, but my university has a task force of around 40 qualified internal and external experts who make the final...

Attached is all of the information I have been sent by our reps, it looks like it has been approved on various things but we are just looking at it as a possible option in conjunction with a lot of other procedures. At this point, if it doesn't hurt, it's worth looking at right?

Our university just announced that we are fully expecting to re-open with students on campus this fall (Aug. 16th). I have been tasked with creating the procedure for we how will be able to support all of our normal orientation events in a "safe" manner. I have already come up with a list of PPE...

For a further example here is the wash with no projector at all, again; the lights cannot be moved any further SL or SR in order to cross light as much as possible, they are already at the extremes. I do like the idea of a dark rug, that may meet the requirements of still having the wood stage...

It is just about 16' tall x 25' wide. Along with the extreme angles all of the lights are currently pointed in, the worst reflecting are turned down as low as possible to help minimize any issues. It is hard to tell in this picture, but if you look closely you can see horizontal lines from each...

I guess I could have added this earlier, we are working with a Panasonic PT-RZ120, which should have plenty of both distance/output for the space. I will see if I can adjust the lighting better, we just purchased a bit of a lighting upgrade complete with some arm extenders to hopefully give a...

Attached is a picture, please keep in mind that them walking in front of the projector is not the issue, it is just the reflection onto the screen, there are only 7 lights on each at around 25%, any higher and it instantly washes everything.It definitely feels like a catch 22, but I wanted to...

I will add a picture in a minute, we are actually running presentations all day in the space. I agree that diffusion will not necessarily help but I wanted to check and see since I do not personally have much experience successfully using diffusion gels. It is cross lit as much as possible; but...

Hello, I am new to an older style proscenium theater that is a VERY multi-use. My issue is with when we have PPT presentations it is projected onto a screen flown just behind the proscenium and main curtains very simple and foolproof. The problem though is in order to present on stage we need to...
