  1. Thanks for this... Yeah I agree 1000 is the absolute max number of seats I think there is also a plan to seat most of the younger kids on the floor cross legged...
  2. Ive got 2 quotes from 2 diffrent audio companies but they differ quite massivly in terms of spec and I am after advice on which one to go for. Were doing a event outside under a marquee that is 15m x 36m ish seating 1000 people with the stage in the gable end and having a couple of kid choirs and a kid rock band along with predominantly a lecturn mic as its a speech day. One company has come in with 4 q7 and 4 q subs with 2 7k rear projectors either side of the stageing area. Whilst the other has come in with 6 y7p flown via kader clamps, 4 b6s and 4 60" tvs spanned down the side of the marquee. Im just wondering what is the best one to opt for as one company said tvs don't work in marquees but im just worried about how will eveyone see the projectors either side of the stage. Thanks
  3. Thanks all for your help. I think the yellow paint idea is the best as it's being held outside in a marquee which is ours so we're not really fussed about damage. How long did it take to wash away? We only need it to be at its best for 1 day
  4. Ive been asked to work out a solution for a upcoming event for a outdoor yellow brick road so that the parents walk along the path before entering the venue. The terrain is quite difficult as it would be going over concreate and a section of grass to get to the performance location. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to acheive this on a stupidly tight budget of around £100. It would be nice to have it about 100-200m long but it can be shorter due to budget. It needs to be removeable after use so something like chalk or fabric is preferable. I thought of fabric but im just worried about the H&S if someone trips as cant really anchor fabric in to concreate. And again thought of chalk but that would take years to do.
  5. Ive been asked to create an effect of where blood is seen to be coming out of someones shirt after they get 'stabbed'. Ive been told its got to be realistic as possible but that something a child (Year 10) can operate. I can source the fake blood but im just after the mechanism. Is there a item that can do this or am I better off fabricating something? if so how? Thanks
  6. I belive it was a old Zero 88 desk possibly a Alcora but im not totally sure as we swapped desks a while ago.
  7. Thanks for the advice. Here are a couple of pics. The first pic shows the connector.
  8. Ive recently come across some analogue dimmers where I work and wondering if such thing exists as a din analogue to DMX adapter? or am I worth binning them? I should of thought such things dont exist but it would be great if you could point me in the direction of one. Thanks
  9. Hi, Im looking to find some second hand or ex demo Prolight Eclprofile or Studio cobs for a local school. I dont mind what beam angle they have and happy to collect in the UK. Many thanks in advance James
  10. Just wondering if someone could shed some light on how the start of the panto works. I'm talking about when the audience walks in and the name of the panto is on a drape/curtain and it appears solid then when it is lit behind you can see the cast members but not the name of the play. It always puzzled me how this works/ what the concept is. Is it something that could be done on a budget? I've been told to recreate something like this for our upcoming am-dram play so was after ideas. Thanks in advance
  11. I was thinking the same thing,maybe a shopping trolley and 5 minutes with an angle grinder. there'll be plenty to chose from in your local canal. Good idea, though I would definitely make a name for myself as the person who installed shopping trolleys on the wall!
  12. Thanks, Everyone. I've contacted a local blacksmith and were going to work something out.
  13. Ive just gone back into the school where I work and done the kind of 'back to school' tests and found one of our speakers has broken yet again with the high end going. Its a EV ZX 3. We have had it replaced before so my first question is it worth fixing again or am I better buying new ones. Second question as it's a hall, can you buy such things as cages for speakers that are mounted on the wall so far I can just see cages for little flood lights? Last question. Its a sports hall so generally gets rented out to basketball players and etc. If you threw a ball at the speaker would it likely lose its high end? I'm sorry it's a bit of a dumb question but I just need proof to show the school that it may be likely. Thanks
  14. Thanks all. I kind of was expecting that. Though it's great I have this in writing so I can go direct to the head of drama with this info.
