Gah that just now was me, I forgot to login. :oops:

After looking at the MAC2kP's manual in 8bit mode I can still use Pan Coarse and Tilt Coarse, not to sure what that means.... but yeah. Also why is it that I must use values instead of percentages? I can logically understand finer tweaking being available, but what other things would I loose...

Well we do have a budget, it is just higher than what we can do for other shows that we put on. So basically everything I have mentioned is pushing it , but anything more will start to be out of the question. Our board is not the plus model, but running Intels on the regular Bijou should be...

The show has been blocked with lots of acting in the house, involving lots of specials or (dare I say it) followspots. Basically the MACs would be hanging off our first electric just enough to hit anywhere in our house. I could use conventionals for everything, but I have always wanted to work...

Yeah that is what I was worried about, damaging the lights. I am by no means afraid to ask the rental house, infact I hope the rental house will explain all of this again to me. I just want to have some sort of knowledge. Still looking for more information on the untouched questions...

The brick plaster look was just alot of sponging, followed by mixing dark reds and browns and painting that for the exposed brick color. Then we applied the mortor lines to the brick, followed by a slight outline of black to make them really pop out. Every summer the county contracts a...

Our department roughly gets 20,000 dollars per school year. That is our whole budget though. That is the standard for the schools in my county (Fairfax, VA). I think it is either the 2nd or 3rd most wealthy county in the nation. Every single school in the county made that list of the top...

Yeah that’s what I thought, for a power source can I just plug it into a wall outlet? No clue what this means? Could you explain more? They are M2k Profiles, is that the exact version you were looking for? My board should be fine, it has two 512 universes. The board is on “one to one...

Yeah I love detail with sets, it makes them so much more real. I would reverse the logic of who ever is keeping you down by saying, "Hey wouldn't the audience wonder why there are not any books? Making the set MORE distracting?!" Just a thought. The pipe is just some random green PVC I found...

Yup, I know! (About the cost) My director is crazy about Laramie, he is going all out. The set will contain about 20 TVs a bunch will be flat panels. I asked him about a budget, he responded, "What budget?!"

Hey guys, here are some pictures from our last show Moon Over Buffalo. I designed the set! Feel free to ask any questions! This has crap lighting on it right now, but it is just to get an overview. Enjoy! - Andrew

Hey guys, I am designing lights for my high schools production of The Laramie Project. With designing I am fine, I know what looks I want and everything. Mostly my questions revolve around the technical part of the lighting. I have a solid knowledge of conventional fixtures, but with...

Gah, sorry that was me under a name I use for some other sites. I got confused!

Well I have been looking for a forum for us tech theatre kids for about a year now, and finally found one! Hoorah! I guess I am supposed to introduce myself, my name is Andrew and I am a junior in high school in Northern Virginia. I have been all over the place design wise but my real love is...
