We also have two 20ft. electrics at FOH. (sorry forgot to mention) approx.80ft throw distance. all 3 electrics are 21 ft. from stage floor.Stage electrics approx. 12 ft. from each other.
(Re: Cyc lights, so the electric closest to Cyc upstage isn't 1st electric?)
This is a new world for me and im still learning fixture functions and properties.  |
Standard position numbering has the lowest number position closest to the
proscenium. So, over stage positions number from DS to US and FOH positions number going away from the stage.
Since you have S4 jr. zooms, you can set a bunch at the narrow end and use them for front light. As Footer said, 25˚ is about the widest you would want from that distance. At 80' you would probably love to be in 14˚ land, but, cest la vie. If intensity is your big problem then following gaff's idea with the three point front light is probably the best way to go. That will eat most of your
ERS fixtures, which is OK.
It wold be worth investigating to see if the church has the other lenses for the S4 PARs, they came with all 4, and you would probably be happier with mediums or wides.
So you actually have real cyc lights, well, those will light your cyc real well. It is hard to use them for any other purpose as they are designed to push as wide a spread as possible.
Sounds like most of the afore mentioned ideas should do quite well for you.
