Final Fall '09 Set Design

As a followup to my previous post I thought I would to give you a sneak peak at what the final fall '09 set design will look like. To accomplish this we are using 560 yards of Rosebrand's Super-Vel product in a wine color. We chose that product because it has the look of velour while having more of a shimmer. The Super-Vel product is also much lighter and cheaper than traditional velour. So, it's a win win.

The lighting trusses will be hung vertically, reminiscent of chandeliers in an old theatre but with a modern twist. Each truss will be lit inside with a small LED fixture and will also have a moving head fixture mounted on the bottom. 

I am super psyched about this design and can't wait to see it come together. I will post pictures as soon as it is up. In the mean time I included the final renderings below for your viewing pleasure.

Google Makes My Life Easier, ...Again


I Love Google SketchUp. First of all, it's super simple to use. Second, it's seems to be a really powerful tool for pre-visualization of scenic, or any other, design. Third, and maybe most important, it's FREE!! I challange you to check it out and see how it can help in your workflow.

Above is the first stage of the of the design proposal for the fall set. It shows the 3D model of the stage along with hard constructed elements that we are proposing. The soft goods will be added to the next revision.

Please comment below and let me know what you think.
