Looks really good.
Is it also set to record live performances? Would be a nice little side business to rent out with video and audio capabilities. How are the acoustics?

It's a lot of fun. With the intent of making our online presence a little more eye catching.

Draping the rafters with some white or off white sheer material will be the next big challenge.
Followed by some front of stage lighting bright enough to see the players but not so bright as to drown out the back of stage effects.

Ray has a new camera that has settings for photographing & filming in various light conditions and maintaining good contrast.

This still is actually one of his recent test photos.

Hopefully we will be able to move in that direction. The curtains have helped the acoustics some but it still sounds like a metal shop. Researching a different style of PA that would facilitate live recordings better.

As for now we use our professionally recorded sound tracks as in our first production found here.

George, when you get your front lighting spend just a little extra and get the LED's you will be glad you did! look at our video those lights came from cheaplights.com whatever you put out front shining on you guys won't drown out those back lights. Wow you get it! Most folks don't understrand the concept of eye candy thats what those lights you have in the back are. Most folks want to shine those down on the band! all you need now are 2 preferably 4 LED pars 1 preferably 2 per side! Hooray for Noisy Kung Fu!

Definitely LED. All of our lights are.

I did take notice of the ones y'all had in your video. Good effect.

I will need to spend a little more for some that are DMX controllable as the ones I have now are only sound or program applicable. ( I use the sound mode)
With the exception of the Laser.
There is a remote available for it ... also on my to do list.

It's a damn long list. :?

There is a LED Digital DMX controller that you will need for the LED type lights A regular DMX controller won't work!

AH ... thanks again.

Right now I have my fog machine switches taped together and a piece of Popsicle stick taped over the toggles so I can activate them both or independently with my foot.
I also purchased four 15amp 120 volt machine shop style foot switches that I use to control the light banks.
I do a lot of tap dancing between lights / fog to vary the intensity of the " show " to match the songs.

As this progresses I will probably need a dedicated sound and light man so I can focus on my axe.
