One could probably achieve a similar effect with gel from the lighting department and some gaff tape?

Yeah I was looking at it and its probably more work than its worth even if it was screws or something. Its already a much nicer shadow than even a source 4 90 is bringing out, and with a much smaller unit. Im pretty happy with what Im getting.As for the glass/screen thing, I wish I could...

Excellent. Thanks!

Good idea. Will the screen get projected at all?

Hey all. I am trying to get some ballen shadow effects on a series of drops, and plan on using a altman fresnels with their fresnel lens removed to cover the drops with light. Anyone have an idea of the beam/field angle of a fresnel with no lens? Intuition says its wider but short of setting up...

Barndoors, my friend.Anyhow,Fresnels are probably your best choice for all around light just because they do pretty much everything. Pars tend towards the brighter side, so thats where those guys come in handy. Source 4s for Template projection and places where whacky shutter cuts are...

Depends what you are trying to do. A lot of trade shows want things that are not rectangles, and for angles other than 90, pins can be easier than anything else. And on steel truss... but yeah. Depends.

I had a 20 oz eastwing for the longest time and loved it. Now I tend to use a dead blow or a small sledge more often than anything else (or my DeathStick), so Im probably not the best resource, but yeah, the eastwing was really quite nice.

I would imagine the best way to achieve this effect might be to have a bunch of very large and bright strobe lights, and just whack everything with them. Maybe even some lighting generators or something... Basically something very, very large and incredibly bright might do it just by causing the...

The Issue I seem to have been having is most units are graduated from 5-150 Foot pounds or whatever they happen to be, and a 1/8" crosby clip is listed for 4 1/2 foot pounds of torque (the CM ones I have at least). At work we have a machine that does it, as well as some super nice torque...
