cleaning off the stage

today's task, get rid of the old set. it came down really fast, and I was able to get a little ahead of schedule. the old projector mount was a pain to dissassemble, and the new one prolly won't be any easier to put up, but it'll be way more flexible.

pretty much everything is lowered in this shot. nice view of the battens (i built those out of spare parts and stuff, they are pretty slick)


lots of black squares... the 3rd (smallest) one is a sand bag that is keeping cables tight. that is on a third batten that is going to hold a new screen. there is also a pile of chairs on the front of the stage- there Las Colinas symphony was in here yesterday...


here is a nice shot that shows it pretty much empty, see the 3 projectors under the soffit? those are right at the edge of the stage, you actually have to put the genie on the first step to be out far enough to unhook it all...


2 of the 3 are down. and no, those long pieces of unistrut are not the only thing that was holding it up,


check out those screen frames, those were a custom job I did, I didn't want to spend the whole budget on fast fold screens or something, so I welded some tubing and laced on some fabric... they are going to be used again but a little different;)
