Hello all, I just recently came across this site and find it wonderful! I am directing a production of the musical 13 and a scene takes place in a movie theater. I am looking to achieve the effect found here:
Getting Ready/Any Minute (13 the Musical) - YouTube
They have the projection coming from behind the actors, but it could also come in front of them as well. I already checked out this thread (http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/lighting-electrics/9911-pulsing-s4-movie-effect.html), but it was a little too technical for me. We are a very simple group, but that doesn't mean we don't have money to spend to achieve effects. We usually rent out special lighting from a rental house nearby.
Basically, I just need to know what I should be asking for when I call up the rental house. Is it a strobe light?? Is there a simple answer for this effect?
Thanks everyone!
