Final set pics
It’s the same background as a couple of weeks ago but we got the light grid redone this time. It is really nice having a lot of moving lights but when you are re-hanging, re-cabling, re-programing all of them, it can take some time. Thankfully with this set up, we just dropped the whole thing with our new chain motors and did it all from the ground. I would say it saved us several days worth of work. It would have been practically impossible to do this portion of the set without the motors.
Hope you enjoy this set for a while…..it’s the one we’ve got ’till mid June! Thanks Tyler for taking some killer shots. You can see more of them at his blog Here.
A New Week and A New Set!
First I want to brag on my team. Benjamin James (BJ), Ryan Shove, Brian Merritt and Matt Guice put in some crazy hours last week to make it happen! I’m so proud at how they handled all the work. These guys continue to make it a blast to come to work and accomplish such awesome things. Just to put it into a little perspective here are some rough specs from the set.
1200+ screws
1000 linear feet of PVC
700+ feet of painted 2×4
Let’s just say we wore out some iTunes playlists late into the evenings!
Special thanks to the other folks on SPD staff who helped as well. Tyler, Elliott and Jamie gave us a hand when they could. They also provided comic relief (i know you’re not surprised).
And, another HUGE thanks to Mickey Hamilton! First of all, this guy is a stud! You may know him as a humble helpful lighting or backstage volunteer, but we know him as an amazing servant leader. The columns in this set were provided by Mickey and some of his friends. They custom welded and shaped the aluminum and did it to perfection! What a blessing to work with such amazing volunteers. You guys just never cease to amaze!
Enjoy the pics! BJ explains on more of the logistics at his blog here: Support Creativity
