Giant Book set design
Fri, 6 Aug 2010, 09:02 amHi. My name is Jason Bancroft and i am a Drama Teacher in Western Australia. For our next production, i would like to make the set a giant book measuring 3m tall with pages 4m wide. Each page could then be turned (on casters) to set the next scene providing a total of 4 scenes comprising of 3 pages and a front and back cover. Visually, i can see what i want but our maintainence team at the school are having difficulties coming up with a construction solution. We are able to bolt the spine of the book to a brick wall but are unsure how to create braced pages that are light enough to move. Anyone who could offer any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

In WA schools I believe it still is the policy of the Education Department not to install fire extinguishers in class rooms, as they prefer that teachers do not atempt to become fire fighters & only supervise fire evactuations.
Application of Fire retardants is covered by George Pettit within section 3 of his free download on his Cortec site. Also he did make reference, on another site, to testing fire retardant cardboard against that of flame retardent Luan covered flats & the cortec stood up better to direct contact with open flame.
But in all cases it would be advisable to check with your local Fire Authority first.
