Yes Steve, depending upon the ambient light in the room a Source Four Jr will more than likely give you the punch you require at a reasonable distance. The curtain may provide a bit of a headache, assuming it hangs in a 'gathered' state as opposed to 'flat as a board' state.
Consider the hang of the curtain before spending your hard earned cash on a custom gobo by first projecting and stock pattern you may already have. Heck, if you don't have an M sized gobo, you may cut a pop can into a 66mm round shape and cut some type of design in it (carefully). Project this from several hang points to get the best image on the curtain, and then you'll know what to expect from your school's logo.

Also, Apollo has Source Four Jr pattern holders for both steel and/or glass, so both the gobo and the pattern holder can drop ship directly to your theater- keeping the shipping down to one package!




Thank you Derek, and to the many other family members of CB who have been very kind to mention Apollo when solutions to lighting problems arise. I will certainly get the CB link onto the Apollo links/education page as soon as I can!

(I'll bet today or tomorrow!)


Thanks again all-
