Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: Cheap Rigging-ish
« on: Jan 29, 2008, 11:18 am »
JMC (Joe) was talking about Oleos/ Olios/ Roll Drops.  I wrote up an article with diagrams on constructing an Olio with a type of scrim, Chameleon™ that my company sells that works well as a Roll Drop.  The construction technique works with our scrim (not sharkstooth--can't be a stretchy scrim) or with drops, so it ought to work for you.  The directions detail pretty much what Joe was describing for the Olio--which works sort of like a windowshade.  A tumbler which he also mentioned is a variation with the roll on the bottom.

How to make an Olio:  http://www.studio-productions-inc.com/white_papers/wp_oleo_olio_rolldrop.html  (Note there is one error in the diagram the right hand pulley ought to be farther over so that the rope winds correctly).

For anyone who is curious about the terms Olio/Oleo I also wrote up an article on those terms:  http://www.studio-productions-inc.com/white_papers/wp_oleo_olio_rollhist.html
