Hi all!
First post, so glad I found this place!
Anyway, here's my problem. In the past at my high school we've always rented or borrow cyc lights and made a makeshift cyc out of the projection screen at the back of the black box theater we put on shows in. Now we finally have some money to buy some lights ourselves. Issue is, the space is very small meaning the space between set and cyc is very small and the last electric is but a few feet from the screen. Searching around the forum, most cyc discussions seem to end "put the lights further away from the cyc", which is not an option for us.
So, the question is, what is the best way to light a cyc from a very short distance and avoid as much scalloping as possible?
We are a public high school, so money is tight, but looking around at local dealers, we could pretty much afford anything except for LED's. Also the cyc is small, 20' square would be my estimate.
Thanks is advance!
