magazine Lighting & Sound America - May 2010 cover feature

[frenziedsilence]

I have a friend who works for a stage company, and she snagged this out of their office for me. It's an industry magazine about stage systems. Pretty spiffy! The article is an extensive description of everything used for the 3-pillar Resistance tour setup.

 

I left the scans pretty large, and there are 8 pages. So I am spoilering them.

I skimmed it pretty fast, but I thought it was great and interesting even if I didn't understand all of the technical aspects! Thank you for the scans.

 

I want to read this again later when I'm not so tired.

Very interesting, even if I didn't understand some of the techy stuff- thanks for posting

Thank you so much, veery interesting article - always wondered why the boys don't use UE-drivers.

Thanks for posting! That was really interesting to read.

(even though I hardly understood any of it)

I thought the panels were Stealth screen's orginally when I knew they folded up, I didn't realise they were 2 different brands.

 

This is similar to other articles I've read but no where near in depth. I didn't realise so much was going on in the background. It's the art-net protocol that I get lost at, I've got a bare understanding of DMX as it is.

 

The best analogy I can read from is it's like going from a Coaxial daisy chained computer network to an IP star design network.

 

I guess the whole performers from above and down the steps was a concept that was never followed up.

Fantastic article. I love it when they do behind-the-scenes bits about how a performance is put together technically. Of course, it was over my head in some parts, but thank you for posting this.

Thanks for sharing! Great feature on MUSE Shows. Very interesting, complex, and over the top at the same time! You get a great perspective of how much MUSE puts into their shows for their fans worldwide. Muse really loves what they do & they must break even, on touring.

 

aloha,
