Last weekend was busier than most this time of year, due to Valentine's Day falling on Sunday. Unfortunately, a confluence of events prevented getting any pictures. What a bummer.
Friday, we set up for a fashion show. The event was held at the Salem Baptist Church in Pullman. The building was a former paint testing facility, now being used by the church. They have a semi-permanent stage and do all sorts of community events. They brought in black pipe and drape to close off part of the room. Our job was to wash the seating area and the stage for the fashion show. We used a number of LED par cans set to either pink or purple, and focused them on the audience and some on the ceiling. It looked pretty nice, if I do say so myself. We also used some focusable ellipsoidals to cover the stage. The trick was to get them so that the light wasn't bouncing back too much into the audience since they have a large video screen behind the stage they couldn't move. Shooting the lights at a greater angle reduced a lot of reflection.
Then Sunday off to Chateau Bu-Sche to set up a few LED uplights in one of their pavilions. I suggested more, but the bride only wanted 10 fixtures. We made do with the quantity ordered and the client was very happy. Since it was Valentine's Day they chose to keep them red all night long. Looked very nice with the red accents the bridal party was wearing. Then back to Pullman to take down the fashion show. Then back to Chateau Bu-Sche to load out the wedding. A long, but productive day.
