Hey...that's cool, I would have never even thought of that...hmmmm....very cool

Thank you so much for the ideas, A friend and I are working on this project in our spare time so if we come up with a good solution, I will post it. Thank you so much.

wow.... And I thought I had it bad....My theatre doesm't like dancers, but we have to have them for some productions, so we just drop things on them from the catwalks, or blind them with follow usually. We did figure out one way to make the lives of the stage people easier though. If you are...

Re: (New & improved) CB Members' Age Survey v2.0 Our oldest guy at my theater is like 65-67 so you are still really young:p

wow...like I feel welcomed back, this is better then some of the drama people I have to talk to in real life....Thanks everybody

Ok, I may have had a epiphany last night, but it will only work if I can find on thing....do you know where to find the elastic cord like they use for bunjy-cords? I thing the idea of cords through tubes might be the best since I can see that in my mind and on paper, but I have to modify it...

ok, I have seen tents like that, that might actually work, and I am starting to form ideas more solidly now. where/how would you make the wings activate/open. Like a pull cord that locks or some sort of spring?

very true...but I have gotten some really dumb questions after performances....trust me Ok....so the carbon rods, would you thread them with the cords still, or would you attach them to the upper end and use a pulley/lever system?

That might work, the question is now, how heavy will this be, and how big of a "wing span" do you think we could get? Also, no offense but, isn't that kinda like a rip-off of the batman cape idea? I reealllly don't want people walking out of the show confused because we had batman in the show...

Congradulations. that is majorly awesome, best of luck

um...still working at the same theater, but otherwise just trying to finish my degree. I am working on some designs for props for our up-coming Samson and Delilah, and of course, stilll working on inventory and storage.:) It never ends:rolleyes:

Well I am not a new person, but I am finally back. Life has been crazy and taken some major changes, but I am back to ask questions and learn more. Mike

That is a really cool idea, hmmm....... finally a way to make those podiums look decient.

Ok...really random question, but maybe someone out there can help. We would like to use a set of wings for Meph, but we can't figure out how to make them, or where to buy them. We wold like them to somehow fold up, or collapse so that they can disappear under his cape. The head designer...

well folks, I looked everywhere I have access to, and I can't find the plans for the pivots, although I think that they were just 2 wooden disks with braces between them and a hole throught the middle that threaded onto a pipe or rod. hope it works out for you mikel
