Meeting with set designers

We had a meeting with the set designers to decide on whether our sets were appropriate and could be made.

The light corridor:
This had positive feedback. We decided to use LED strips and build them into the wall so that they would not stick out and look unprofessional. We chose to use these lights as we can have different colours and we can change the light speed and direction. This is helpful as it gives us more to work with on the day. We looked at whether the lights might be too heavy to build into the wall, but we came to the conclusion that it can be worked around.

The blinders:
This is the section for the dance. This was one of the easier ones as it was relatively easy to make as all it required was a large space with blinders. 

The DJ set:
This was the complex one. We wanted to have the DJ desk as a 360 degree mixing desk on perspex so that we could shine light through it and it would bounce off. However, the set designers said that it was hard for the perspex to hold up the mixing desks, and for the set to be big enough for 360 and for the light to properly bounce off. We came to the conclusion that we could have a 180 perspex mixing desk that would look as though it was 360 as it would only be half perspex and then half table. 

Shadow set: 
This was easy as we just wanted to bounce light off curtains to hit the artist's face in a shadow like manner. This was simplistic as all that was needed was black curtains and lights.
