College, performing in an adaption of C.S. Lewis' Til We Have Faces. Lots of video work that the cast had to interact with. Opening night, we're all facing downstage. I can see out of my peripheral the video playing on the screen, but there's no audio. SM calls us to clear the stage, they...

A local charitable organization asked me to help them with lighting for an event this week. They already had some LED pars which looked great....until i read the manual. So, these lights have RGBAW (seperate diodes for each) and UV. If I just use the panel on the back, I can use all the...

They're not the same? Maybe I HAVE been working in worship production for too long.....

Kind of mine, these are a few of my students' lighting projects this semester. This was their first attempt at lighting, so they only had 5 LED Par64s. In spring, they'll have access to around 30, including some moving heads. Program they are using is DasLight Virtual Controller, though our...

havent seen this thread in a while. after re-reading it, i'm going to redo my rehearsal boxes a bit, modeled on some of these designs.

Daslight Virtual Controller is free to download and has a 3D Visualizer. the actual dongle to send signal varies in price.

Our central set piece was a 6' diameter toybox with some LED Par cans built into the top. When flying, the actors stood just behind and above the lights. Cue blackout, add a disco ball out in the house, make sure the actors can sell the flight with the music, worked great. Traveled the whole...

I'd like some more info on that, actually. PM me the details.

Thanks everybody. I've taught the class before, mostly the design portion and even then on a very rudimentary level. It was interspersed with lots of theatre history and literature. This year I was told I could make it a true technical theatre course. So we'll be hanging lights and...

our director wants a similar effect for a show in the spring where a character pokes at some coals from his dying fire and they start to glow. i'll be using some of this for the effect. great build!

So this year, I have been tasked with teaching Theatre production. A little background: -Our system's auditorium is across town. -Subsequently so are the majority of our scenic materials (tools, lumber...) and lighting. -I will have anywhere from 25 to 35 students -Who CANNOT be required to...

Daslight Virtual Controller runs anywhere from 75 to 600 dollars, depending on how many addresses you need. I bought the $150 package and have one full universe, which is more than what i need. though price has probably gone up.

saw a great dance effect where they projected classic dance clips from classic movies (gene kelly, fred astaire, etc...) where the projected image "danced" with the live performer, then seamlessly transformed into a live performer as well. then "danced" back onto the screen.

this is short compared to GA's 80 pages of standards for theatre. most of which are absurd. https://www.georgiastandards.org/standards/gps%20support%20docs/fine_arts_theatre_gps_final_2-11-2010.pdf

Latest from this, unfortunately, the tech director didn't make it. Thoughts and prayers go out to them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24881397
