Below, you can see a time-lapse video of the load-in of Argonautika’s set and lights and the light focus that followed. The whole set arrived from DC in a 53-foot truck, and our Production Staff, many of whom had traveled down to DC to see the production there, loaded it into the space. As you can see in the video, the set was designed to fit into many smaller pieces so that it could easily come in and out of the truck. One of the interesting things our staff had to do was to modify the bridge over the stage so that in the event of an emergency, our fire curtain could still operate. During a section of the video, you can see the fire curtain in the space so that could be figured out.

This video is a bit different than our last time-lapse video. It was shot from the balcony, instead of the house, and used a different camera than we used last time. Every two seconds, the camera captured one video frame, which means that each minute of video is equal to an hour of real time on the stage. Enjoy!
