Hi Everyone,
In June I will be lighting my mom's 20th annual dance recital for the dance school she owns.
It is going to be held at the same venue as last year. The venue has 6 moving lights: 2 MAC 250s on their FOH, and 4 Robe AT250s over stage. Last year I brought in 10 color scrollers for the source four pars they had and used the 10 lights as downlight on the 1 and 2 Elecs.
This year I am deffinetly adding high side scrollers and putting scrollers on some of the S4 50degs i use on the booms for sidelight.
Since its her 20th year, we want to bring in several more movers.
The board they have at the venue is an ETC Express 72/144 with 240 chans. I used that last year and pretty much used all the channels between the 16 chan movers and the 2 channel CXI scrollers along with all the conventionals.
I was thinking about bringing in a new board for this year, possibly a Congo Jr. I want to do cool moving light dance effects, easily and in a tight time space. If I did alot with movers on an express I would need to set each mover to a position and write one cue, then change pan, tilt, color, etc, and create another cue, then another, then link them all together.
What makes it easier on the congo? What additional benefits would this console give me?
Thanks,
Joe
