Clayton Caldwell from Brookstone Church in Weaverville, NC brings us these awesome shapes.
From Clayton: We had a big youth event coming up and our youth pastor wanted the event to feel unique compared to normal Sunday morning service, so we decided to rent some different lighting fixtures to enhance the worship experience.
Here’s a list of the equipment we ended up renting:
(2) 4ft trusses
(2) 6ft trusses
(2) 8ft trusses
(6) Elation Professional Platinum HFX
(6) Elation ACL 360 Bar
We also had 6 SlimPar 56’s in storage that we brought out and used them to light up the trussing. It wasn’t much but it added just a little bit more color to the set and I personally think it was worth the little extra time.
Having the 360 Bars backlighting our singers and the HFX’s shooting gobo’s up and over the singers created such an amazing atmosphere for worship that the kids absolutely loved.
The rental ended up being around $1,900 for a week-long rental. While not practical to do something like this often, it was definitely worth it for our biggest youth event of the year.
Really beatiful, and yet simple, setup. Amazing what can be done with just a few different fixtures. Nice. Question for you – where did you purchase the mounts for the movers (for the top of the truss towers)?
The mounts came with the lights. It was a full package rental
What’s the material for the triangles?
The frames were made out of wood and the white is fabric that is sewn and stapled to the frame
Just a plain white cotton from like a fabric store?
Not 100% sure the makeup of the fabric. It was donated by a church member. It’s pretty thick compared to a normal fabric
what are the measurements for the wood frames ?
How did you anchor the truss to the floor????
They were mounted to a wide base that was then anchored with sand bags
