They are a very creative bunch for sure. Could they have been rented or is this option not feasible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure any rental company would rent these unless there was a HUGE insurance policy on them. I could not image them wanting them back based on how they were used. I could be wrong though.

They can be reprogrammed in so many ways, you'd never need to buy backdrops again. I think they only touched the surface of what could really be achievable with them in an aesthetic sense. Much more is possible with the right artistic and creative staff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise Blucoats could still be using those slides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine them with whatever other props one desires. Again, The surface has barely been scratched with what can be done with them to support the theme of any program. They aren't Carmel's Viking Ship or Crown's Stagecoach or BA's Go-Buggies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how long before obsolete with next generation of optics. Ok Mr Techie and Mr Drum Truck Loader because it was a way to get free rides....

FTNK Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Carmel boring? I loved it and the focus on music, and fidelity to originals. Prompted me to dig out my Lorin Maazel/Berlin Philharmonic "The Ring without Words" CD (highly recommended). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as the technology improves, sure, buy new ones or replace them as they wear out. Keep in mind that a lot of the big contests are now indoors, Jim. Grand Nationals is at Lucas Oil. Granted they do their local football games... but I'd assume they had certain conditions that needed to be met to use the screens in terms of rain, wind, and temperature extremes. Really, that can apply to any backdrop/prop. Saw a prop windmill for a Man of LaMancha show that actually worked totally destroyed at a regional competition during the band's performance a long time ago due to very high wind gusts (My guess is they were in excess of 30-35mph). The crowd was more interested in watching it torn to pieces and blown away than the actual show... which actually was a decent program.

To me no different from any of the other cool one hit wonders. But time will tell, right? Edited November 14, 2018 by HockeyDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
