full run separately their location so let's background music I love doing this The Voice I don't know back all the way no way a few wow and famous idea stage since we're doing it few days in a row so he created one the steps and the rails throughout the St this is and but the [Music] stage we do double-sided props so let me show you exactly that is such a good idea difficult executing but so you can see oh wow oh they have double-sided props so they don't need to they have enough space but here's the here's the here's the catch we didn't want the same shape on both sides so here's what we did we did two things number one come here this way see this over there is double sided okay they got so oh a black curtain the back from them a different shape with back the manions St that's no way [Music] so we figured out a new idea by the way this year that do entrance the parking do okay and entrance so in order us the Bronx and whatever straight to the theater the the theater and camps in total okay the booklets present officially this is part of the props yes this is a cave yeah okay if you want to hide in the cave ra Anthony that's one of them amazing props unbelievable so we have all the stuff lined up here ready to go cheairs whatever we need okay this is officially bar stand from so someone and this this was all built in the last three weeks yeah yeah custom built oh this is the the bar this is the for of course English a a so this is the welcome to the a Tavern Tavern yeah welcome to the tavern nice it's lightweight special Su he's going to know that he's going to have it you understand the concept the concept is they're bringing 20 camps in total divided into four days and they're doing the same exact show play but different actors because each Camp brings their own actors different actors cre challenges think think 20 to 25 actors per show It's Tricky it's very private [Music] rehearsal fly yeah of course of course of course do do the Green Room oh okay we just revealed the main secret this is the room where the food is going to be right so the dressing rooms in dring the room is let's see oh wow look at this makeup room and the lights yeah so this the whole n yards room so this is where they make the makeup and the next room is just a production room staff badges public safy came closer to the show [Music] this is the propep shop OK meeting table though meeting oh nice um if you're looking where to run to script English script some a blueprint script a chart script as this charts is just see a blueprint what how it are going to look of our paper okay then we have um the Hostess exclusive script it's called which is just a list effect but after all start to finish the wow countdown of the curtain hour the numbers 0 0 curtain open nice curtain up 20 minute countdown 0 curtains open again 4 hours curtain must be on top of his game from the projection the all the way to control the reason for is sound effect communication as well they're focusing on the show hopefully hope so this is our screen um the and the screen was lied right so we only have certain things we could do so we use it for a lot of things first in the beginning of the show The all everybody's logo's logo st's logo all the thank you and then we have the as a story line the story line pictures so forth and we use it for scenes too meanwhile we set up a scene here there's a seen playing the front with a background picture Got You [Music] Beautiful counter [Music] they're pretty decent they're pretty you see the countdown for when the show starts it goes down from when the doors open it's not going to be on this guys off the curtain Anthony the countdown looks exciting look at this way yeah it's very cool let's do scene two p m wow where are we now so now we're on the street but light of them they want to refocus all the lights from the so we're working on this now yes guy in Z see the K yeah oh wow this is spooky Anthony I hope you make it down [Music] alive okay pie from the stage the stage to the pit [Music] so this is the front piece of the stage we are under the stage right now it doesn't look too exciting over here hello oh there's Mandy let's go up here you see how even it's m the Flor look at this look at this all right see I have 17 in for the how many in you need 17 18 pieces but then I have I have it oh you know what I know what I'm going to do they refocusing the lights look at this ah look at this SC as you can see changes rehearsal the scene they SC back from okay like curtain of the windows right scenery in the back or whatever so you want to be able to see through the window so we're trying to figure out we're trying to figure out how we can get both worlds uhuh [Music] so basically do pre-show do projection is do sound so the sound is basically make Allen you guys follows their list order this is the okay thank you we need to set it up cuz we need the lighting so let's do it let's do it all right okay what's this D this is the best seat in the the front seat the best the best is stage table the best of you for reheal the sheets right here of course of course this is mik certain times yes it can get too much this is the lower important oh nice this is the script the English script ah which is follow along question mistak change whatever then we have the blueprints these are BL blue oh wow so the beginning from the fly a mitten right yeah a couch a coffee table no this is a carpet fish you have a secret room in the back here behind the there's a secret room there you like toools but we change it to bank bank because bank so the initial drawing was too bad barels and a few stools and stuff but we switched a drop but and then you can see here so hey Su just said that he's done so that means he can start rehearsal okay he's just showing me something on the screen so this is the stage oh nice a 3D model yeah exactly the stage how the stage looks nice yeah so let's let's start okay let's do it um it's action time bro [Music] right so which ended up costing a lot of money okay was a ro was very nice effect no way is the speed of the amount of snow that comes down so got each and spe exctly yeah how you doing it's gonna be a great you are from St Productions production so you nobody else is coming you're the one who actually Taj is going to be running also what both of us sitting here so part of the time me part of the him cuz I'm going to be running in and out okay what was his job the other guy that was he is the in-house audio guy he gives me access to the to the mains Subs fronts stage monitors pit monitors okay you said a bunch of words it sounds professional I like this okay I'll tell you the mains are the top speakers the sub are the subw on the floor the fronts this front fil for the guys sitting in the front they're not going to be able to hear the the mains so the front for them maners on stages for the actors to be able to hear the songs when they sing and the p is for the keyboard sound effects and video guy to be able to hear their feet without going through the system like but it's not through the digal it's direct yes hold on a second I got to hit this okay so let me show illat thank you there was a head counselor here from one of the camps that are coming on Wednesday and they came to rehearse their part um he explained to me that this is a very good deal because on the campsite they used to sit hours and days to make props and then they used to rent a place by themselves getting all this coordinated by each Camp individually is much more costy and much more much less professional here because it's combined 20 camps at once there is a bigger budget cohesively and then each one pays much less and they get a better product they get a bigger everything look even this guy knows how to play professionally and they get him in the on the house because they're part of this thing um thr go with the p uh can we stand by on the psych on line set 5 down like 10% okay four for this full stage scene [Music] they go through one by one number rightt have a great discovered it's right behind the stage looks cool to me restricted area but Che we out and so all the way upstairs it looks pretty [Music] nice mention of the um yeah one said yes I'm thinking maybe the one that uh the okay right in the spotlight spot correct [Music] really a separate system channel for [Music] audio separate Channel completely uhhuh this I switch for Channel this is channel one this is channel two can by give me the the lights in the wall you did before with did the house to have I like it the windows from yeah I kind of I kind of like it it makes it feel more yeah let's let's add into the que design finally there's something I changed in the scene finally we chose these designs as the windows from the shield made in the that's it maybe for please bring in the bench let's Spike the bench for the park Eli let me know once the lighting is set so we can go to the uh After the Blackout no problem no problem okay put it in right right there right there that's it right there exactly okay after this scene we're going to blackout again it turned so peaceful in here um can we please get in line at 19 midstage Traveler bring layers projection those are the side projection right front projection screen use for lyrics songs back for them do the RP screen for the finale number this this is number the lighting is how are you doing good to see avoid was the day it's a major issue the best possible right so is the head coun and the coun busy
