fruit of the spirit design

This should've been posted more than a month ago, but here are some pics of the stage design for the Fruit of the Spirit series last month.

I wanted to mimic the tile-style design on the stage backwall, which were painted with more warm, earth-tone colors to match the rest of the colors in the room. So, I built Jeopardy-esque shelves--5x5 spaces at a 4:3 ratio. Each unit stood 92" tall, spanning 120" in length and 12" deep. Each space was backlit with little kitchen cabinet lights.
Used aluminum drywall outside corners as the track for lights and cable management.

The lights came from IKEA, and their setup allows up to six lights being plugged into a single wall plug.

Then added light gel filters with some paper to diffuse the backlight. The colors came pretty close to matching the backwall paint colors.

Definitely a four-sided shape theme going here.

What the tiles look like all lit up.

The last touch was setting some par lights with shutters and the same gel colors...then focusing them on the backwall tiles to give the appearance those tiles are similarly lit as the sides.

Glad to see the lights are now hanging out on your blog, since they're not on stage anymore. Probably one of my favorite stages at Parkview. Nice work!
