Mic Placement
This was the placement of 1 of 2 DPA microphones that were used on tables to pick up small movements, such as shuffling a deck of cards
Technical Stage Department
The biggest element of the show for the technical stage department was the 2.8M high truss bridge. The bridge was constructed using 95% of the RCS truss stock.
The top section of the bridge was constructed at ground level, raised using 4 load guard chain motors, the leg sections were then connected and it the bridge was landed. Workshop attached the top deck before the bridge was put on legs to make the construction process easier and safer by keeping all work at ground level. They constructed the deck by using some 18mm ply and some timber bracing that spanned the width of the truss. This was attached to the truss using doughty half couplers. Once the bridge was clad it was covered in astro turf. The get offs were constructed using the buttress towers and a combination of treads, these were ratchet strapped to the truss bridge.
One problem that we encountered was that due to the length of the bridge and the fact there was no support in the middle it caused the bridge to bounce when walked on. To prevent this workshop constructed some supports that were screwed into the floor and attached to the truss using doughty half couplers.
