I'm in charge of ordering some lighting equipment for a color wash on a 55' X 60' stage that will be used as a dance floor. I already plan on flying a U shape rig above the stage. My questions is what would be the best way to shoot a color wash onto the stage? I was thinking about doing 9 par...

The problem has not been resolved I will post with more info on the setup as we have been very busy with clients and have not had enough time to find the plans and installation setup for the ballroom yet. [RESERVED FOR MORE INFORMATION]

by wall panels I meant the "Wall pockets". The sound system in the ballroom has Crown power amps with Crestron wall panels (located in our amp room) The ballroom also has a wall panel with 6 pre programed music buttons and a Mic button with Volume controls. Our "floor/Wall pockets" have 2...

I'm working in a 3 part ballroom and have been getting some feedback lately. The 3 parts can be combined i.e. 1+2, 2+3 and 1,2,3.

I was told traditionally the hang mans noose used 13 coils to break the neck of the victim. Also my theater teacher told us its illegal and bad luck to use a 13 coil hang mans noose. I'm not positive if its true just adding my cents. Also does anyone know how to do a "throw knot"? I had a...

I have used the HOG III in school for a show so I do have some working knowledge of patching and recording cues but I have no working knowledge with programming moving lights with the HOG. I do know how to address them though. Also where can i find the software online to practice with? Thanks

Thats very true

My old theater had a Whirlwind box its was silver though not sure if that makes a difference.. there very handy to have around, I could never remember what it was called till now. thanks,

Thank wolf, I'll look into the adapters. Its great being able to talk with others about stuff like this. Try having a conversation about making a XLR to RCA adapter to a roommate thats working as a cook.. just not as helpful as you guys :lol:
