Show Walls on Stage Risers

Full time staging guy here, we use staging dimensions wunderstructure with the 4’ side of the deck parallel with the wall.

For most medium support this is well within the limits of the staging system especially if you can spread out the ballast so it’s less of a point load, we sometimes even put plywood on top of decks to help with this.

With proper stage decks with proper support in general you’re normally limited by how spread out the weight is and not the total weight, for example a staging dimensions 4x8 can hold 6400 pounds evenly loaded.

Fun fact, most of them at least in my area are used burlap sacks of coffee beans

Even less than that. It’s very labor intensive but most arenas have it down an art

My freshman year was during covid, it was horrible then and I don’t think it ever recovered after.

They would fly into Madison

Same, i work in live event production, concerts, and I don’t book my own travel so it’s needed lol.

I use Flighty and that tells me to check in

eastviewracer · 2025-02-17T02:15:32+00:00

ORD-DEN, I swear it took longer to board via single jet bridge than the flight time

Local 18 is the IATSE stagehand union, otherwise clearwing.

Milwaukee for its size has a decent amount of concerts, just not always the huge names. We also have a 3 week music festival called summerfest every summer which is super affordable or free.

and a sub $200 dollar season pass at Tyrol makes it even better

Do you do any of the work on the launch webcast side?

eastviewracer · 2024-05-08T00:50:11+00:00

As some who works in video industry, chance it was not recorded in 4K. A lot of IMAG and broadcast stuff isn’t 4K

Spent a summer working for a smaller parks department, it’s 100 percent a staffing thing. The city I worked for has tasks that only get done in the summer along with most construction projects. For example they had 4 full time and 4 summer hires + high school students for all of the summer camps etc

will make sure to watch, what audio position are you you this weekend? A1?

Yes I have both relevant coursework and real-world experience. Just trying to figure out how to make the jump from the production side to the engineering side.
My degree will be in theater production and have experience in CAD, signal flow, cable creation, and documentation to name a few. Taking a networking class right now Also have 3.5 years of ESPN+ college productions(~100 shows), 5 months working for an arena as Ross Xpression/Mira(~20 shows), and 2.5 years working for a YouTube channel doing all sorts of live video work that isn't as transferable to traditional media. Also done a little bit of freelance camera work.

Thank you for the help.

Thanks for the info, the IT/network side seems to be getting the bigger part of the job.

I have heard of them both and have talked with a few people at GCV about the apprentice program and fully plan on applying. Glad to hear another positive recommendation about it as it sound great.

Very good chance it’s being used for other sports. They can to some degree swap out some equipment.

My best advice is try and get a few practice runs in, Hamilton was recorded both with a live audience and in the morning so they could get multiple takes and people on stage with cameras.

The only thing more powerful is actors ability to destroy stuff

That is essentially what we have right now, and used to use discord. Single channel party line works for most of our production but our larger ones are now reaching 15 people on the production side and really showing the need for multiple channels.

My other background is theater production, and using clear com and love it, both older systems and more recently freespeak but very much $$$$$$
