We started by building a rack to hold all of our VGA and XLR cables - sorted by type and size. As it turns out, the newly built rack accommodates a lot more cable than we currently have, so we also started to sort and rack our extension cords on it. In addition to that rack, we cleaned out a closet and built a rack to support almost all of our projection screens. This closet is a lot closer to our loading area than the area we had been using to store the screens - making it a lot easier to load up for events needing projection. What the closet doesn't accommodate, however, are our 10' cradle screens (hence, the 'almost'). As such, we need to clean out the area just outside of the closet and build a rack to hold the cradle screens. At least they will all be in the same, general vicinity. Currently in that area, we have some salvaged equipment from a closed expo center. We really need to figure out if there is anything there worth keeping...
Along with the cleaning, building, and racking, we did quite a bit of organization. 4AVNow has been in this shop just a little over one year. In all of this time, this is the best condition that the shop has been in - and we still have quite a bit of work ahead of us.
Yesterday, after we had an event to set at Millwrights Restaurant in Simsbury. For this, we used an InFocus projector, Duet accordion screen, and a Targus Presenter. This particular InFocus projector is great because it has a 'short throw' lens - meaning, it sits a lot closer to the screen than a projector with a standard lens. After striking that event this morning, we headed to Morton's Steakhouse in Hartford to set an event. Conveniently, we used the same projector that we recovered from Millwrights. While we have worked many events at Morton's previously, this is the first one that we have done as their official A/V technicians! Additionally today, we set an event at Zinc in New Haven (this event also only required a projector) and two events at the Crowne Plaza Danbury.
