Re: Hey i thought we could share pic of our shows
Well this happened months ago and I'm still sorting through pictures. I have some reallly cool ones, some really blurry ones, I'll post when I get a chance. The DVD is coming out really soon though, so I'll see if I can steal any shots from there. In the meantime, this was our crazy booth setup.
One of the consoles is rented, and one is not. Let's guess which one.
Seriously though, if you ever get a chnace to work with the Maxxyz, try it. It's one of the most intuitive things I've ever worked with, a junior and two sophomores with absolutely no prior instruction or experience were able to program and run an entire two hour concert/variety show with it no problem. *salivate.*
Anyways, the booth setup was freaking crazy. As you can see, we had the two boards (Fun fact. The external
monitor mounts seemed to be the PERFECT size for popo lights. Who knew?), with the ClearCom in between. (the
monitor on top we had running but never really used). The insane thing of that was, is that what you see here was RAISED 2 feet off of the
ground, on choral platforms we lugged up there (holy bajesus.) In FRONT of the
platform you see was a little "trench" of 5 spotlights (our two Lycien midgets, and the "
zoom on a stick" Luminators). It was the most amazing booth setup ever, everyone could see and operate, and it just worked perfectly. I couldn't get a wide shot of the booth, but it was amazing. EDIT: if you look under the desks, you can see the chairs that were in the SpotTrench, to give you a better idea.
You can see in the background most of our rig and set (I designed both). 10
Mac 700's (Absolutely amazing), 15 Studio Spots, and 4 Technobeams (which we must have used, persay, twice in the entire show). Yes, the price tag was rediculous, and I've already been reassured it will never happen again. Oh well. My only regret was that I was just kind of
thrust into designing everything--I had absolutely no experience whatsoever with any intelligent lighting--and so I could have used my funds much, much more effectively. But oh well. MainLight was really nice and gave us a great discount, at any rate. (Senseless
plug! What can I say, I'm grateful.)
Oh right, the picture.
