If you thought putting scrollers on an ETC source 4 was a pain, wait until you’ve put scrollers on 8 lighters! Indeed crowd blinders with color scrollers are wicked cool, but a PITA.
Now I am a fan of the traditional no color crowd blinders. However, you might have the issue of your cyc lights having too much spill, in this case you should gel them. If you do gel them, blind with 1 color at time, like Pie4Wheebl said.
Red, white, and blue chases are awesome especially if your band is... oh I dunno, All AMERICAN Rejects? lol nice one Derek! Definately a hot, a neutral, and cool gel combo would work really well (like red, white, and blue.)
If you decide to go old school and use parcans, thats awesome! You can get some amazing looks by playing with the geometry of the beams while still lighting the band. I really hope you haze this show.
It kind of seems like some people are only adding to the confusion, I’m sorry but thats what happens when theater techs try to talk rock n roll. (Crowd warmers? really?) Wow.
