Its been a while since I’ve been able to run a console, and I want to keep the programming brain/fingers fresh. Aside from the videos, and online classes through ETC, could someone recommend a cheap(ish)/affordable visualizer or type of software for Windows based PC that would help me see what...

We have a spare to temporarily put up so if nothing else works we can do that. The weird thing is that when we color pick (using and element) the "working" fixtures seem like the white is to intense and the "broken" fixture is closer to the actual color we want. For example; in R80 the broken...

We took it right out of the factory box, checked it, and put it up. Ill go up tonight and try the readdressing, and if that doesnt work we have a spare we can swap. We will try and send it back as it is in warranty and we are in CA, a day or so from a service center.Thanks for the ideas. I...

Addressing was not my call on this one. I'm only assisting.

Hey all,I know that these fixtures are quite new and I can't find any info on them yet so I thought I would post here and see if the CB hive mind could help.I have six Elation Fuze Par Pro z120s that are IP rated for outdoor use, as we are an outdoor theater. They are addressed to 50, 60...

Yup. Seen it done before. When I was in school we had mostly 360Qs, Fresnals and Altmann zooms. We would have freshman "repair" the broken inventory and wouYup. Seen it done before. When I was in school we had 360Qs, Fresnals, and Altman zooms. We would have freshman and the like repair the...

I would say in a addition to what has already been suggested to take a look at ETC Seledors, especially the Lustr or Vivid Fire and ICE. They have a good beam spread, changeable lenses and great dimming control. The Fires concentrate on the warm colors, and the ICE on the cool. The Lustr is a...

OK so whats the function of the wash fixture, is it that the field angle decreases from wash to spot to beam?

Question, also a novice on movers, are "Beam" and "Wash" interchangeable terms as far as movers go? Im looking at renting some for my theater, and the local production company we use offers Moving Spot, or Moving Wash fixtures. Trying to determine the difference between the functions of a...

I don't know about Tim, but I could DEFIANTLY use some lesson planning help for a costuming unit.

...This only covers two out of the four points of the four point lighting, but you would just repeat the process for the other angles.

Let me start with I don't use movers.... (just hadn't really had the opportunity for the budget to rent).That being said, I hardly EVER use a 1:1 patch. When Patching I defiantly go Zone with it.For instance, if I was doing a stage wash with four point lighting into say nine areas, and had...

Last semester I also had to light a dance concert for my college, but it was in the round entirely. What really helped me out was using intense angles and getting "high sides" and down light, and than shooting in low off the floor. The space wasn't too big so we didn't have to worry about...

Re: Things to consider for thrust lighting designI am actually about to undertake the exact same type of endeavor with a high school director for a one hour version of "The Crucible". After giving it a thought, and looking at my inventory, i think the best way to overcome the FOH obstacle, as...

I work as an LD/ME and started on AC, and was convinced by a colleague to try VW. After several projects, and much frustration i switched back to AC. Some call me crazy but i find that navigating the '08 version is much easier than some of the newer ones. As for paperwork, I use a created macro...
