Production Musings

I’ve gotten a few questions on how the 4×16 panels were actually hung so I took a quick photo of what we did. All of the materials I mentioned in the previous post can be found at Home Depot. The metal ends you see pictured is metal ribbon used for bailing cardboard or other materials and I believe it comes in rolls. Sawyer Scott designed these panels and ran the wire the length of their edges. We drilled holes in each end and used hanging wire at the tops and bottoms.  We hung from the truss and anchored to eye bolts in the stage floor.  Each panel had 4 rigging points.  As you can see, it doesn’t have to be precise or super neat.
