Hey Guys. have not posted here in a very very long time, thought i might show ya what i have being up to.

Hey guys Im about to get started on the schools annual production and this year it happens to be South Pacific. Anyway im real excited as this year we are able to use our new theatre for the show. We were going to do out production last year which was Calamity Jane, but about 2 weeks before...

a good idea is to get some old carpet that is brown on the downside of it. lay it over the plywood with a few things underneath it to make it look there are bumps in the ground. then if u have the time place some gardern mulch over it to give a textured look to the ground

i know this thread is old. But here is a simple but effective way to create a set. it is very easy n quick to do. japaniese screens can look very effective, but can cost a bit. all you need to do is get some timber and make a frame with several 60cm by 60cm squares in it. lets say 8 rows...

Ok. Calamity jane is a western musical set int the 1870's and the set that is being built is a saloon. The music is your typical western ye ha type. I havent sat down and watched a full run through but i have been working around when they have been rehershing I am use to doing dance...

you are a long way off. I live in Australia. all that work was done by me and one other person. It took forever. i would get up early and walk there and do about hour of work. go to school (at the year 7-10 campus down the road about 2k away. the production was done at the year 11 and 12...

I have some home cinema wharfdale speakers. i dont know what the pa speakers are like but the home cinema speakers are very good. if the pa speakers were anything like the cinema ones i would buy them.

Melbourne, were abouts are you

I have to agree with mayhem 100% that this concept of extending audio cables could kill. If you did have old mains cables that were not being used and you wanted to use them as audio cables why dont you just cut the ends of and put 2 jacks on, it would work fine (i have used cables like...

What would happen if someone wo had no idea what it was for plugged the adaptor with the jack end on the other end into a power point and them someone else picks that end up. I would say that this idea is very dangerous and should not be used at all.

I just did Footloose at the end of last year. we had 108 dimmer channels, 8 technobeams, 40 par 64, 18 1.2k fresnels, 3 2k fresnels, 4 4way cycfloods, 8 multipars, 2 1.2 pc's the odd profile for gobos and a jands 408 control desk. :lol: The production was done in a school hall, we hired...

I forgot to say we are hiring 8 Technobeams and a Jands Event 408. (I said my brain was not working very well) Thanks Again :oops:
