Ha ha! You mean the stage dressing? It took ages for the committee to let me paint the front of the stage and the side panels grey for a start. They were gloss white Dulux, threw every bit of stray light back into your face, and looked ridiculous. Next is to paint the rear exposed walls dark grey as well.
You're right - this is a rural village hall (!) and it's only happened at all because I paid for everything out of my own pocket, with the hall then paying me back as they see the benefit of having this kit, and them making money from gigs that could not have been done before. Without my JFDI attitude nothing would ever have happened. This is all a bit of a hobby for me, and something I've wanted to do since helping with lighting at school in the 70's, and it's fun. Compared with PAR cans and cinemoid, modern RGBW moving lights are amazing!
I'm not keen on putting a lot more structure in, as I can't face any more arguments with the committee about it! But your idea of the mid truss is great. I wish I'd known about that before.
I could put two or three single ali tubes running US-DS, just clamped on top of the existing trusses.
Or maybe one length of single ladder truss L-R hung off the existing US-DS rails, but it wouldn't take much weight.
Those five 350W MLs (which are beam-spot-wide zoom fittings, not sharpies) on the US truss are heavy, so they probably have to stay where they are as that's the only truss that can take the load.
What does 3-4-3 mean? Three on the stage R vertical, four on the horizontal truss, then three on the stage L vertical? Or all on the horizontal? Any of that could be done as-is, I could rig the sharpies on top of the existing US truss.
Although there are two lasers to go on top of the verticals first, to do the liquid sky thing. Yup: old skool is the way
What I really need is a Avolites guru to advise on the rig and set up some looks and chases in venue mode, while I learn Titan myself (I'm doing the online course now). This is all new to me
. Any Avolites dudes in South Norfolk who fancy a day's consultancy work?
