The Use Of Space For Visuals And Future Events
The 3 screens for the visuals is defiantly utilizing the space available well but for future events a white sheet or blackout blind could be draped from the second floor to just above where the performers heads are are secured with rope on ether sides to make stable. This would be ambitious but would allow for a much larger projecting space.

AV Setup
AV SETUP
On arrival at the venue I can see its a large one with a seating arena and back of house lighting desk located at the side of the arena.
For the AV desk there is a table located on the second floor to the side of the performance and within good range of the show.
On the night of the performance 3 large screens will be placed on the second floor above the performers, there will be 1 visuals desk and a smaller visuals mixer for live video feeds.
Most of the performances use pre-recorded visuals that are not midi synced, in order to make the videos seem in time they are played on Que bye a command heard on the headphones.
The videos are all listed in playing order when the command is heard from the headphones the video input channel is selected and the video is faded in using the master fader handle. The video program used to play the visuals also has a timer so its possible to see how long the performance and visual have left, this is to make sure you are ready when the performance ends.
The smaller visuals mixer will have all of the live video inputed and will have a row of buttons to switch between shots.
A CSM video interlude has also been pre recorded and kept on loop this is to build atmosphere in-between performances and maintain the atmosphere.

My Role
My Role
My role is to aid and fill-in for the live AV technician Mathew Jackson, throughout the whole two nights of performances ill be helping behind the desk making sure everything goes to plan. The AV and lighting is just as important as the performance so everything has to be practiced and practiced again until everything is running smoothly.
My first job was set 2 coax cables from the visual mixer to downstairs and the other side of the arena, these are to send the video signals from the live feed cameras directly into the mixer. On the end of the coax cables i attached AV converts so the signal could be put into the desk.
There are 2 smaller projectors and 1 colossal 15000 lumen projector this is used for the middle screen. With this projector you could light up the front of a building if needed, it would be a good idea to try get a sponsor from a similar company that hires these out for my 6 track visual EP.
We had to keep the main projector in its flight case and push it around the outside of the building to be taken up in the lift and positioned in place. The projector to rent cost around £450 pound but really does do the job.
