The String Cheese Incident

Red Rocks 2017

Background

This was probably the most logistically complex show I ever did with SCI and that was because of the projection and the venue.   I’ve always wanted to do projection at Red Rocks but it takes such firepower to get brighter then the ambient light there and with shows nearly every day of the year its nearly impossible to get dark time to line up the projectors so we went in the day before our show but had to wait for that nights show to finish first.  To add to the complexity I had Morpheus send half the lighting gear to BNP for prep and VER was doing the projection.  I chose a total of 8 x 32k projectors making two images, one upstage and one on the floor,  and I had to figure out the proper lensing for the projectors so 4 projectors could be stitched together to make one fullscreen image.  Then once the show started it was a real struggle to not blow out the video with the light rig and since shows at Red Rocks start pretty early I basically had one set per day to show off this incredibly expensive and complex thing we had built so basically every jam I would turn off the light rig and let the video projection be the focus.
