I got to experience this stage design by Jeff Poole from UBC Miami in Florida when I visited them a little while back. Very awesome!

They wanted to recreate the effect from this Hillsong video:

They started with some Reset stage pieces that allowed them a bunch of flexibility in re-arranging the pieces. Then they bought 12 sheets of 3/8″ plywood and a couple of 1.5″ hole saw bits from Home Depot.

They drilled over 1000 holes in the plywood (as evenly spaced as they could). After a coat of black paint they attached Velcro to the wood panels and simply put them in the Reset Frames.

The lighting was achieved by 6 Elation DS-300e moving lights (which they rented) and about 8 Elation OPTI-RGB fixtures used with their hazer. The end result was well worth the 3 days of drilling the holes.

    This is a stunning set. Where do you get the reset stage pieces? The url is not working.

    Thanks

    Do you think Pegboard would work for this? Our church has a lot of peg board that is not being used.

      I think peg board holes would be too small but I would never want to deter you from trying it. We used 2″ holes to get the effect you see in the pics.

    Hey Jeff, I’m working on doing a design like this at my church coming up in may. What kind of lights are you using behind the hole wall?

    • Jeff Poole January 7, 2012 at 10:07 am #

      Behind the panels there were 6 Elation DS300e fixtures 2 each at floor, medium, full levels (height) of the “wall.” Also were 6 Elation OptiRGB LED fixtures place in similar fashion. I hope that helps. Let me know if you need more info.
