This thread is an oldie but a goodie. I'm glad that it's stickied and I've referred many people here to help guide their turntable builds.Creative Conners wants to add to the conversation, so we've developed a turntable design and are giving it away. Our Turntable Template is designed to work...

Creative Conners has decided to forgo this year's USITT Expo. We're all bummed but feel it is the prudent course of action. We're working on some plans to find some alternative opportunities to meet and greet our customers and friends throughout the year...

You could also reach out toGeorgia Stage iWeiss S&K Draperies Chicago CanvasThose were the names that I thought of that you missed. It all depends on how much cross shopping you want to do.

Creative Conners will be there at booth 230.We've got a handful of cool new toys to show off. We are formally introducing our automation console, Stage Manager, along with our new handheld Pendant. We are also talking up our ever growing rental inventory of Smart Chain Hoists.We are also...

Another option could be to use Rosco project screen. From your description I think the rear projection grey or the translucent may be a solid choice. It's inherently flame retardant so there's no worries there. It may be decently costly depending on the amount that you need but it is another...

I always hesitate to chime in on conversations that I have a commercial interest in because I don't want to be all sale-y (even though that's mygig ). But this is right up my alley and our name has been thrown in the mix.What you're describing definitely sounds like our (Creative Conners')...

Creative Conners will have a small booth and we are sending a couple of guys to take the temperature of the show. It all feels very experimental but we've been doing more work with rock & roll tours and other non-theaters customers. We're curious to find out how much crossover we'll find between...

I've worked with a company in Colorado called Reynolds Polymer. http://www.reynoldspolymer.com/ They make acrylic for a variety of applications. I believe they have stock sheets of various sizes and thicknesses. You might try to reach to them.

I'm the biz developer at Creative Conners. Definitely give us a shout to talk through some ideas. We've can provide just the automation bits and pieces or a complete automation+turntable package.More often than not we recommend a wheels up design. More and more we're seeing the need to run...

Creative Conners, Inc. introduces Spotline Practical, a new small, form-factor hoist with a powered lifting line and integrated motion controller. Spotline Practical easily lifts small scenic elements and practical lighting while maintaining safety standards and ease of use. Controlled by...

Howdy, I work with Creative Conners and wanted to offer my assistance. We do have a lift machine that may be a good fit, the Floorpocket. It’s and all electric machine (not hydraulic oil to worry about) with a 1000 lbs load limit.We also have worked to add our controllers to hydraulic lifts...

Full Disclosure: I work for Creative Conners and think we offer some awesome automation gear. We may be able to help with something other than our Spotline. Do you have an idea of the overall travel distance and speed you would like from these panels? I know you say "light weight" but can you...

I did the math on this a while back. 10 yards of 21 oz velour will need approximately 1 bushel of storage space. A 20 bushel hamper can contain approximately 180 - 200 yards of 21 oz velour if folded neatly. If you know the size and fullness of your drapes you should be able to get a pretty...

We've got a few people coming this year from Creative Conners. Swing by our booth to say hi. If there is a meetup happening I'd love to pop in also.

Double sided tape works fine for performers moving on the ground cloth. You can usually get it pretty snug and flat. If you will have heavy scenery and wagons rolling on it, I'd recommend adding patches of webbing along the perimeter and tacking or stapling to the deck.
