smoke is, unfortunately, out of question, due to stringent venue rules. I like the "small strobe flashlight" idea though. I will research on that. Most of the flashlights switch to strobe AFTER a few solid modes and that is not very convenient. The reason why I thought of a led string is that I...

Thank you for such a quick response! In fact I got away with a light blackout and a screen projection. BUT I am looking to go a little further.

Hi,I am looking for ideas for a theatrical scene where a person gets an electric shock. Ideally "blowing a fuse" would be involved but that entails hiring a pyrotechnician etc. My idea is that the character grabs a hanging cable and the audience sees some sort of "electric lightning bolt"...

I totally agree with your statement. If people will be picking on minor stiff the show in general must be bad. If the show is good, people will forgive minor hiccups or even major tech mishaps. I incline towards the solution of firing the strobes and the sound separately. Each of the DMX lights...

That I have to check with the lighting man as the controller is his. As far as I understand Qlab is a mac based software. We only use PC, but I think that might be a minor issue. So do I get it right that I need to program this scene in a Qlab similar program, connect it to the DMX controller...

That is closer to what I can do. I have a bunch of DMX wash lights. and a DMX controller I have a flash sound effect in mp3. So the trick is to somehow sync them. Perhaps there is some kind of interface?

I considered that. I suppose that will involve hiring people who would fire the flashes/strobes. I even thought I could program some flashes to fire sequentially rather than at the same time. It appears that I cannot program a delay like that.

Hello. Can anyone suggest a solution to my little project? I need to create an illusion of multiple camera flashes firing and sync it to the corresponding sound. The idea is to imitate a red carpet photo shoot. Any ideas how that can be accomplished?
