I don't feel like such a doink now!

I have an older white Chameleon scrim that I've used in several shows. It works well for effects and projections and it is full disappear when lit in front. I just bought a new Chameleon though that is mid-grey because I don't want to shove a white sheet in everyone's face for a dark show like...

Thanks. I was exploring oleos to death on here a few years ago when I was considering doing Chess and having oleos for the flags. I built a mini version just for kicks. maybe I will revisit this...I may have to reinforce the top. This stuff is like cotton candy in sheet form.

No, it's not sharkstooth. It's a very lightweight material that allows for appear/disappear effects: https://www.studio-productions-inc.com/colors.htmlMy track meets in the middle, but maybe I could just hang it off one side so it travels. I know raising and dropping causes issues when it's...

Yeah, the latter.However, I recognize the fly-in after the fly-out is not within the realm of possibility.haha

I'm currently in a similar predicament. And some of what you said is a smear of letters and words to me, but I will do my best to catch up.We are doing Les Mis in June. I'm all there is with the exception of conducting the pit, although I have done that too. One big pain is going from...

GREAT IDEA. And the pockets can be labelled according to actor/scene.

Thanks! Will look into testing out some PCC mics. Maybe as rentals first and then we will go from there.

Hi everyone!Sorry it has taken me awhile to respond. Life happened for a bit.I've decided to purchase three more Sennheisers which would top me off at 16 and take up all 16 cables in our snake and use up all the channels on my main board. I'm also going to be purchasing another smaller...

Definitely food for thought! Thank you!

The box and power supply are at stage. The receivers sit back with us at the "tech table" so we can monitor battery levels and communicate with stage crew if we need to fix an issue. So no - not at stage.I will have to figure out this sub-mixer solution. In the meantime, what should I buy to...

Thanks. I'm trying to wrap my head around this. I find it hard without images so I have a couple of clarifying questions...first of all, yes - the board is analog. I'm getting mixed up between "main board" and "board 1". How do I run all wireless to board 1 if I only have a max 16 inputs - or...

I'm directing a production of Les Mis at my high school starting in February, and our current system is a 16-channel Allen and Heath board that we connect to our 13 Sennheiser body mic packs. Our snake has 16 XLR cords. So there go 13 of our 16 channels right off the top. I have been through the...

These are all really good questions which I unfortunately don't have the capacity to answer at this moment. Had a great day taking students to see Come From Away in Toronto today - go see it if you haven't! Lighting was spectacular :-)

Yeah, totally! There's more than one way to skin a cat - I'm learning how to express myself clearly as a lot of this stuff is still new lingo for me. I appreciate everyone's patience! Great place to be. Every time I'm at school and run into something I'm not sure about, I know that I can post a...
