Commonly, the rig is used for most studio shows and has had increased usage in the year 2018 / 2019 for more green screening work. The swapping of lanterns and setting of the lighting states technically requires training (including ladder safety). For the sake of not destroying the lanterns or having people fall off ladders, this should continue. | |||
=== Repairs === | |||
There haven't been any large scale repairs since the installation of the rig in 2015. However, during pack down of the 2019 Roses TX centre, Edwin Barnes remarked at how many pins the rig appeared to be missing. Upon further inspection post Roses (when everyone had regained sanity) it turned out that roughly 1/3 rd of the pins holding the trusses and uprights together, are missing presumed dead. While the rig remains solid, some replacements have been sourced and are due to be replaced. | |||
