Hello CB,
I have an odd question which I think will require some trial and error, but wanted to ask the group if anyone had any experience in what I'm considering.
Background: Years ago I was able to rent some lekos (Selecon Acclaim, I think) that had the light source 90degrees from the lens tube, so the output was much cooler on the gels/gobos. At that time, the marketed the fixture as being able to project custom printed (on an inkjet or laser printer) gobos. I tried this with that fixture for a show, and it was pretty effective.
Question: Given that most new fixtures are LEDs, will this same set up work? I have an entire rig of Source4LEDS in our space and am thinking of trying it out. I know I'll have to remove the diffusion filter. Does anyone have any tips? Has anyone tried this? We don't have the budget for digital lighting or LED screens, so I'm trying to approximate something similar, just for a single cue.
Thank you,
Rob
