Model of the Set

Click photo to enlarge...


Here is my quick and simple model made from foamcore and wire hangers. This may look "lame" at the moment, but check back with this forum in two months and you will be amazed at how well this primitive model actually resembles the real set!

It shows how the rented scaffolding will be used to build 16' high followspot towers in front of the proscenium arch. Then there will be a bridge 10 feet high up-stage-center, with lower platforms left and right. The lower platforms will be decked in plexiglass so I can light them from underneath.

Notice the two silver dots down-stage. Those will be 1" thick Lucite discs mounted in the trap doors so I can shoot spotlights up from the pit! Also notice the white cyclorama up-stage. I will mount "up-lights" inside the scaffolding aimed at the cyc. (The floor will be painted in overlapping circles).
