Testimonial

"As I watched The Queen’s Cartoonists slip and slide through decades of cartoon music in a matter of minutes, with the animations projected on a large screen behind them, I followed a captivated crowd of young and old consciously connect what they were watching with what they were hearing. The pleasure of the perfect synchrony of sound and pictures was instantly recognizable."

Technical Specifications

• Set Up: 1 hour
• Break: 5-15 minutes
• Strike: 30-45 minutes

• Program Space: Enough room for 4-5 musicians to perform, including drums. Enough room for a projector and projector screen
• Electricity/Wi-Fi: Access to power
• Audiovisual/Tech: We do not require any audio/visual support, but we can adapt to fit into a school's audio/video setting. The projections are run from our laptop with an hdmi cable (that stays in the performance area).
• Outside Possible: It is possible to perform outside but not optimal because the screen will not be very bright.
• Venue-Provided Supplies: We will arrive with all the gear and fully self-contained. However if the school has an in-house projector screen, projector, or PA system that seems better/easier to use then we can opt to use their system.
• Mobility/Location Needs: We will typically arrive in two cars, one which will need to load in nearby the performance area.
