About this design

Nine minutes of patience. It starts as a single blue sheet and adds one layer every 32 bars until all four projectors are running white fans at the peak. The lower sheets are designed to pass through the audience area. Demo listing: generated sample content.

Setup instructions

1. Get the exact release named on this page: the nine-minute original, not the radio edit. 2. Unzip. Import projector_A to projector_D left to right across the truss. 3. Put the audio on the timeline and place each section at the time given in cue_sheet.csv. 4. This show is delivered as rendered frames. You can retime sections but not edit the looks. The audience-scanning sections must be measured and signed off for your projectors and your room before any audience is present. If you cannot do that, mask the lower zone and run it as an overhead show.
