Hi All,
I am currently giving a hand to an aerial arts studio to help them regarding their yearly student show.
They have little to no lighting setup, so far they did with a bunch of Chauvet SlimPAR 64 hanging from I beams in front of the "stage" (that is more a 24'-sided square area that has audience sitting on two sides) and the result wasn't heart, a bit dark and lack of contrast.
I have some more fixtures (pretty low end ones, 4 U'King B117 and 1 K9 Bulldog) and they are going with projections on the two white walls facing audience.
I am trying to figure out how I could position those lights to be able to correctly light performers while not washing out projections nor blinding audience. I thought I could go with moving the SlimPARs to opposite corners and focus them on the hanging apparatus, but they are either washing projections too much or lighting too much behind the audience when I try to focus them as far as possible from the projections...
I am a bit lost and I am wondering if there would be a way to have a decent lighting or if it's a lost cause and I should just get back to front facing hanging light to at least have it light enough...
Any thought, anyone?
