A Laser Odyssey
As mentioned in the DeLEM thread, on January 27th, I'm doing my first public shows here at the banquet hall followed by a weekend of anyone who wants to come visit being able to. Someone once asked for people to post pictures of how they set up a show so, I decided to take some during the testing started the past few days. There will be a lot more to the final product but, this will give you some ideas as to what I'm doing.
First up, the raw canvas. This is one end of the ballroom in the banquet facility I manage. You'll note the ceiling has three distinct "trays" each of which will hold a 12 x 16 foot scrim.

Scrim is being hung with 3/8' vinyl covered wire with tension supplied by bungee style cords.

Here is where it's positioned in the ceiling.

Here is what over $300 in mosquito netting looks like... this is a sick hobby!

The first scrim in place:

Now, the second scrim:

Finally the third scrim:

The projectors are going at stage height and rear screen projecting through the scrim like this:

Now from a distance where the bulk of the audience will be:
3 scrims from distance.jpg
Between the scrims and at either end are "totems" to hold the beam projectors:

On the wall behind the graphics projectors will be various effects that can be turned on or off such as BlissLights, lumia, non-coherent LED dance lighting, and other effects lasers.

The control station for the graphics is a rack with HD24, ADAT, ILDA splitter, UGC's, etc. The beam work will be done at the back in the center from multiple laptops with Quickshow and/or LivePro.

Next step is adjusting the images on the scrim which can be a time consuming process.

Now, we're getting somewhere!

Now we'll add beams:

There will be more to follow but thought some might find it interesting.
