Ok, what time will you be in? nothing like a bit of father-son rigging 8 VLs on stage will look very.... WOW. Although if i may surgest - would the pixelline work instead of blinders? they are just as bright, if not brigher, and you have more flexability, just a thought.PhilTheMerEnt wrote: I hope to be in on Tuesday too - I kinda have another idea that I would like to try for Tuesday if I may (I spoke to you about it last night, Josh). They can then go on the octagon on Wednesday (provisionally)

Um, well you have an exam, I believe, and I am hoping to submit work on Monday, but it may roll over to Tuesday morning for the printing, so I would guess from midday (provisionally).Josh wrote:Ok, what time will you be in? nothing like a bit of father-son rigging 8 VLs on stage will look very....

Ah ha - I have other plans for the pixel line - do not worry my young apprentice... Venue-wide WOW. Might need a few extra bodies, however.Josh wrote:Although if i may surgest - would the pixelline work instead of blinders? they are just as bright, if not brigher, and you have more flexability, just a thought.
... Oh, and I felt the extra sockets worked too - I don't know why, but I thought they actually worked when it came back from the vets.

fyi, there will also be a fair bit of cabling comming too
12 5m bits of 5 pin DMX and 12 3m 16Amp cable, as well as 4 Cform 2 ways. I know we could probably have managed the rig without the cabling, but i had nightmares of finding we were short of Cform or DMX, and since the cost of cabling only comes to ?13.20 i thought it was worth it.

Actually Niall, can you remember what v1 had in fw 04? It's far more stuff than we could ever get now, but there was some good ideas that we've never used since - I vaguely remember the 812s above the stairs to the raised area and the opposite side on the trussing.... did that work? what else did we have?
Edit: actually, remembering the rigging to 4am, perhaps not the best of ideas!![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Had the 812s on the side truss for the Vanquish event I believe - the issue is that we only have 5 now, which isn't really enough. I have ideas regarding pixel line for next week along the sides - we'll see how much kit comes in I guess. And, yeah, it really is a shame we can't get much in these days - but if any old ents with an ear to the ground in the trade finds any new cheap hire sources of good kit, please let me know so that I can get some in for next year!

well, we had VLs everywhere, I think we had a combination of the 512s and the prospots along the truss either side of the hall. the pro wash were used on stage (or at least were supposed to be) for the band night.Keith wrote:Actually Niall, can you remember what v1 had in fw 04?

add in the two DL1s and the CMS!
DMX Addresses are as per the second version, Stage equipment is on Universe 3, scrollers on 4. First thing tomurrow power is going to be re-arranged and the Prowashes and Technobeams will be without power as last night we were running 50 Amps which is a bit to close for comfort and the rubber box was VERY hot.
On this note, Can we get another rubber box as backup/so we can run with everything?
Also, if anyone is free to come in and rig tomurow from mid day onwards it would be really apreicated, so far it just looks like it will be James in the morning and me from around 11 onwards until people arrive at 7 or later! It will be mostly rigging, but we get to rig some nice lights that we rarely get to use so come along. it will be "fun".
