We just use 6 old par cans, gelled RGBlike from the balcony rail. Does the trick for me. It's not as fancy as ellipsoidals with breakups and what not but it makes the curtain look nice. What is your end goal here? To spruce it up? To WOW people?

hey everyone, I'm trying to get a better than ball park figure for how much electricity I use in my hall per show and how much it costs. Example... how much does it cost for me to have the PA on for an hour? How much does is cost to have a par can on for and hour? You get the idea... I'm...

is that a local code? my newly renovated dressing rooms ain't got no cages for bulbs or indicator lights outside. but I usually find that a performer has unscrewed about half of the bulbs so it's not so bright i guess... our dressing rooms didn't actually get redone with anyplace to...

anybody ever made a mirrorball rotater? seems like is might be easy. I've seen the record player version, wondering if anyone else has rigged something like this up... thanks

yeah in 35 mm projection a film not taking up for even 5 seconds can be a total spaghetti disaster! I got a bit of experience there:oops:

WE got a digital projection titan hd600. it's done us pretty well, although somehow the wiring harness sometimes mysteriously slips off of the bulb sled. it's an easy fix, but it makes my heart race pretty hard when the bulbs won't strike an hour before showtime! I would say go with the...

What would you all do if someone up the food chain wanted you to do something that infringes on copyright law, like project stolen video with no license to show it (or something like that). Is it worth raising a fuss about? It doesn't seem like I, the peon, could get in trouble for just...

yeah with that projector, blu ray won't do you no good, but it will still play standard dvd too. imho you need a brighter projector BADLY!!!

i got a cheap buddha, for to remind me that how ever long the second act is... nothing is permanent:)

tj I don't know what kind of budget you guys have for your restoration, or if you even get to decide on how to spend it, but having just gone through it, I wanna say to you... GET IT WHILE THE GETTIN' IS GOOD!!! We spent tons of money then, and now there aint no money fer nuthin. And I...

why's that? too dim at that far of a throw?

Yer right about the phoebus. It's on the floor because it blew up...literally after 7 hours of use. There was a big dispute over who needed to pay for the bulb and the ballast, the installer, phoebus, or the operator (it wasn't me!!!), so it sat for a while. The other is the mighty lycian...

I werk in the same style theatre. Built in 1928, restored in 2008. here's link to some photos if anyone is interested in these too. If you click MTCA 2008 at the top you get constructions photos. IF you click MTCA 2009, you get what we got now. Crazy about your theatre getting flooded. I'd...

hate it. would strike/object/set myself on fire.
