As soon as we got to Pauley we had to make some game time decisions. The layout of the room was different and so we had to adjust somewhat. We knew we were going to go with a 90degree layout change from NSWN. But we lacked the space in the back we wanted for games. We ended up moving our sound and video to the very back of the room. It seemed like the best place to be and most out of the way. Only issue was we didn't know if we had enough ethernet for some of our video streams to the projectors.
Next, the stage layout had to be adjusted. This was minor but still delayed us a bit and took some more work.
We decided to leave a lot of space in the front of the stage b/c we wanted to have the mentors and the students in the middle jumping up and down!
One advantage we had over NSWN was we actually had more man power. I guesstimated that we had over 100 ppl helping with setup. That's just an awesome number to think about. We had 100 ppl helping unload stage pieces, truss, lights, sound gear, cables, road cases, etc...
Pretty much we were doing NSWN setup so I think most of us knew what was going on. We decided to make the side screens 3' off of the main stage so they would close and almost tight and then it would seem like the stage and screens were like a wall.
We used the FBTs as fill-ins on the stage for people in the front instead of on the sides as we traditionally do. This was only for the praise time.
We had to do a lot of eq and volume adjustments for the actors. They did a great job but we had to really push them up and down with the faders chasing them.
I have another post with troubleshooting. Check out my iphone recording of the Intro...crazy!
awesome!
