The Team
Stage supervisor - Daryl Campbell
DTSM/Head of Flys - Sean Ramsay
ATSM - Jamie Murray, Andrew Swarbrigg
Technical drawings and Ground plan
Groundplan.
All drawings by Ruth Darling
Lens Screen.
The original idea was to attach a piece of BP screen to the back of the metal frame however due to the thickness of the frame we would have been unable to tension the screen properly so we decided that it would be best if the screen was hung on the bar behind the Lens frame thus allowing us to tension the screen.
False pros.
Hard masking wedges.
Doorframe.
Perspex trucks.
Due to the weight of the perspex sheets the trucks are front heavy so some stage weights are required to ensure the trucks do not tip over. They also have fixed casters to try and ensure the tucks only move in a straight line.
Video
Video Content Designer - Ruth Darling
Head of Video/Programmer - Craig Stevenson
We controlled Video for this show using the MacPro running the Catalyst Media Server and being programmed and operated using MA2 onPC with Command Wing via ARTNET. Originally, the system was going to be tied in to the lighting console via MANet using the same show file. However, in the end, the system was completely separated and Video had its own show file and control platform.
You can find Tim Reid's Handy Catalyst Quick Start Guide on the Production Resources Portal Page here: https://portal.rcs.ac.uk/production/lighting-lecture-notes/
System Design
The following is the system diagram is what was used for operation during the show.
The following was the proposed plan for Video being controlled used the MA2 Console. Note the use of a Session & Worlds which meant multiple programmers could be used during technical rehearsals and plot.
Data connections between the Media Server and Projector were made possible by using in house CAT5 patch from the control room and Prompt Side Fly Floor.
There is a VERY handy MA Manual site (WITH A SEARCH BAR) which you can learn almost anything including Networking, Sessions and Controlling other Hardware: http://help2.malighting.com/Page/grandMA2/grandma2/en/3.5
You can also find this manual on the desk, should you ever need it, by entering in the Command Line: HELP, PLEASE.
