Don't have any more (or of a wider angle) unfortunately - will have to try and take As an interesting aside, this is the show (well, a continuation of the show) that Nick was looking for a lighting designer for at the end of last year.

cedd Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 A friend has just uploaded some pictures from The Producers - our latest offering. The whole set can be seen here;Brassneck Theatre - The Producers And a few favourites; Final bowsOn top againWe can do itIn Jail The set had around 400 40W festoon lamps dotted around the pros arch (4 circuits for chasing) and the 6 flats (one circuit each). The steps at the back also had lamps in. The Shubert Theatre is a massive pair of sliding flats which cantilever out. There's only a couple of meters of wing space (and only that much because we set the flats so far in) and no flying. The outer sections hinge back behind the centre portion, and the whole thing runs on a truss suspended from the scaff that's pretending to be the grid! Very heavy but solid as a rock. Lighting is approximately (I forget!);9 x Robe 575 spots9 x Robe 575 washes2 x Robe digispots (5000's I think) - cyc projections and the all important camera feed for the swastika dance. 6 x 8 par can IWB's hung vertically for side lightingVarious Strand profiles, Selecon Pacific's, T84's, whatever other generic stuff we had to hand. Control by a Pearl 2004. I might add that a few of the faces are a bit washed out - this is just the followspots not agreeing with the camera. Some of the pics look quite stark and white, it was far softer in real life. You can even see my Pigeons in a few of the pictures! These are taken of the dress rehearsal so a few people weren't on their marks and we made quite a few corrections before opening night. The black border above the cyc is also wonky. We fixed this before we opened! I think it was quite brave to go for an all black set apart from the pros and cyc. Didn't light particularly well. We also painted the stage before opening night!

LXbydesign Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 'the faces a bit washed ou'! - - with all that side par LX, im not surprised!!! Looks nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedd Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 That's true! They got turned on to dry the paint on the stage floor! Our LD likes his side and backlight. We didn't use them all at the same time THAT much, just happens to be that one of the scenes I've picked out is one of those scenes! Like I say, looked far warmer and less white in real life. Just the joys of trying to capture stage LX on film. The real art is getting all of that lot on what's basically a town hall power supply. This one was a small rig for us, we've been known to have 30 odd movers and blinders. Depends on the show. Power planning becomes a really important part of our work! It's only a 550 seat venue in a town hall normally used for line dancing and brass band concerts! I doubt we'd have anything like the wow factor if we moved venue. We seem to have the niche for doing decent budget shows in a small local venue. Put us in an inner city venue and it'd be a bit different I think, plus we have the venue for 3 weeks all told, so plenty of times to get things wrong and redo. Thanks for the compliments. Not my design, just my rigging. Russ83 was also involved - LX rigging and stage crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Just (literally) finished a run of a week of the Billy Youth Theatre - West End sponsored Billy Elliot.I'm sure there are others out there who've done or are in process of doing the same at the moment (I know of at least one other BR member doing so) Just a couple of quick shots which demonstrate the LED colour wash for one, plus another which shows simple is often best with old-fashoned generics... This one - LED top back and side light with generic SL lighting the singer DSC http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j40/Ynot_01/DSC_1375.jpg This one with Billy (just pre-Angry Dance) lit only with a Strand SL profile as front and Prelude F top light.http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j40/Ynot_01/DSC_1247.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ynot Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Looks good, Tony. Any other pics?Probably about 3 or 4 hundred...!All on my FB pages (followed by dozens of 'tag' requests from the kids and their parents....!)Here's another couple. Billy's 'dream' sequence of dancing to Swan Lake...Again this was 100% LED apart from the single follow spot picking out Billy.http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j40/Ynot_01/DSC_1396.jpg And the young ballet girls during Billy's earlier (first) encounter with them.http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j40/Ynot_01/DSC_1300.jpg The pink wash upstage was an 'homage' to the dance school's own building which has pink walls.

Just Some Bloke Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The problem with that last post is that, if you stuck 4 scanners on a piece of truss and 2 other fixtures further forward, connected them to even the most basic of modern lighting controller and told it to run one of its built-in presets it might look exactly like that. Equally, you could have worked for a week to get a magnificent light show and these pictures are just a small snapshot of something incredible. This is the reason most people add some text to explain where the pictures come from and to put them into context. Perhaps you could fill us in a little more?

jacethebase Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Not quite a plug and go show but not the most complex as I was running both the sound and lighting. Only had a few hours to build some chase's and Pallets. The equipment was 4 x Coemar Tas scans 4 x Clay Paky miniscans 6 x Eagle LED battens and 2 x 1500 watt strobes and a Pearl controlling it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewE Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Photos taken by me from my design for Balletboyz' "Void", at Sadlers Wells after a national tour in April this year. The piece is lit entirely in white - the overhead being all from discharge sources - 8x VL-1000 AS, 8x Mac 500, 4 1.2kW HMI Fresnels and 1x 2.5kW HMI fresnel. The booms are Selecon SPX profiles as shins, Robert Juliat 1.2kW Fresnels as mids and PAR 64 as high-level heads. What I found interesting about this was how many different shades of white there are! The 2.5kW HMI appears almost pink next to the slightly green looking 1.2kW HMIs. The Mac 500s are also toward the green end, while the VL-1000s seem to me to be the cleanest "white" in the rig. This worked well with the costume design - all the dancers being in various shades of grey. The final section (final couple of photos) is the only time the booms are used, and it feels (intentionally) much warmer than the rest of the piece which is alternately solos and duets with a brief confrontational unison in the middle. The solos and duets were mostly picked out in hard-edged box specials created using usually one or at most two of the VL-1000s. The stage is entirely open with the borders and legs completely flown out, revealing the wings, brick back wall (onto which is projected black and white footage depicting location or ambience) and stage machinery. The backlight bar flies live during the piece (thanks to Sadlers Wells automated flying system - such a luxury!) and the Mac 500s were panned onto the wall to provide the silhouette effect seen in some of the photos.http://www.ellis-net.co.uk/bbz/_IMG_0892.JPG http://www.ellis-net.co.uk/bbz/_IMG_0907.JPG http://www.ellis-net.co.uk/bbz/_IMG_0919.JPG http://www.ellis-net.co.uk/bbz/_IMG_0963.JPG http://www.ellis-net.co.uk/bbz/_IMG_0986.JPG http://www.ellis-net.co.uk/bbz/_IMG_1012.JPG http://www.ellis-net.co.uk/bbz/_IMG_1026.JPG http://www.ellis-net.co.uk/bbz/_IMG_1044.JPG http://www.ellis-net.co.uk/bbz/_IMG_1063.JPG http://www.ellis-net.co.uk/bbz/_IMG_1067.JPG Photos of other work on my website.

Smiffy Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Nice Andrew. V. Nice. Experimenting with Colour Temperature's always a lot of fun. Gives a nice industrial look with the legs and borders out too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
