            BALLET MASKS & BATTLE COSTUMES

While excellent for children's theater, musicals, etc., this line of masks is specifically designed for dance applications. The light weight, durable plastic mesh faces permit much improved peripheral vision, air flow, and audio recognition. Some features are vinyl and most animals have fur fabric "hoods" and cowls. Most styles include tension adjustable back-of-head closures. The line includes several customizable characters with new molds added annually. In fact, the new bear above is a sketch, photo pending. Request assistance when planning the mask and associated costume.

            SCENERY & EFFECTS

                    Drops & Borders

YDEac drape and drops
Every September through November we receive several inquiries regarding rental availability of Nutcracker and Christmas Carol drops and borders. In 1995 GTS ceased renting but now provides telephone listings for active scenic rental companies with which we have had experience. Unfortunately, by September, such seasonal items are usually committed. A possible, usually three week, alternative is custom printed drops of your own design.
Provide a minimum 300 dpi Illustrator graphic file, specify drop/drapery dimensions and rigging requirements and a quote will be rendered. If the quote is accepted, an enhanced graphic will be forwarded for final approval. Pre-payment is required and production usually requires about 3 weeks.
Full color CYMK (4 color) dye sublimation printing on durable 16' wide muslin trevira, is assembled in vertical panels to nearly any dimension, usually priced $7 - $10 per square foot (approximately $6400 for a 40' x 20' drop). If you require custom graphic design or repeated or extended drapery use (considering the costs of fabric and fabrication, manual painting, repeated rentals, and shipping), you should investigate this option - telephone for planning assistance and printed fabric sample.

                    Production Effects


SNOW: Various methods which create snowfall effects.
 TFIESTA 
XTFIESTA    CONFETTI SCATTER    235.00
A compact (18½" high x 11½" diameter) 110 volt scatter unit which permits easy rigging and quiet, simple implementation of confetti and snowfall stage effects. With a loaded weight of about 10 pounds and a hopper capacity of about 3 pounds of paper confetti, the unit projects up to about a 20' diameter moderate density spread for 1 to 2 minutes without the need for space consuming troughs or the weight and "violence" of blowers. Other synthetic "snow" may be used and other snow effects (including disappearing) are available.
PXBs88403/45    BULK PAPER CONFETTI  45# carton (approximately 4¼ cubic feet) for machine disbursement. (white)    120.00
                    Suggestions:
For a lateral effect drape the upstage and downstage sides of the hopper with "skirts" long enough to deflect the confetti laterally. (NOTE: Do not enclose the scatter canister which would compress the confetti in the canister and jam the dispersion blades.)
For larger stages space multiple units for area coverage and hang as high as possible to achieve a gentle vertical snowfall.
For extended effects modify the hopper by building a "funnel" extension insert to contain additional confetti.
NOTE: When using a stage circuit for power, preset it for "switched" (on/off, nondimming) or dimming without warmup (no continuous 5-15 volts intended to maintain warm lamp filaments) to avoid overheating the motor.
