So, I wanted to break away from the "three screens of death" video look
for a while on the big stage for this woman's conference at the nlcf
and make the stage look a bit more girly.
We first raised the center screen. Then took 30ish strands of
Christmas lights in hung them in three groups coming down the
catwalk. After that tedious process was over, we hung some sheer
fabric on front of the lights. The effect looked great.
The next thing we did was reset our projectors and screens to a 16:9
ratio. We did this to be able to hang lanterns under the screens and
so we didn't have this giant awkward square where the center screen
should go.
The set looked great. The funny thing about switching the screens to
a more wide screen look made the stage appear newer. It's funny how
we are programmed to think that rectangles are more futuristic and
hip than squares.
The plan was to keep this look through the Sunday after the conference.
Well, we went to power our center projector back up and imagine our
surprise whe. The stupid thing wouldn't start up. One of the fans
stopped working so it told the projector not to turn on. So we sent
the projector off to Sanyo. We kept our woman's conference look up for
2 more weeks.
