I am unsure to highlight falling snow in the nutcracker. The white cyc will be used during this scene and is lit with R80 from top and bottom. There will also be snowflake gobos gelled with R60 projected on the cyc with 50 degree ERS's. Also, what is a good Rosco color to use on these specials...

I just would like to say thank you for all the advice given regarding this topic. The show went extremely well and everyone was impressed with the moving lights!

Thanks for checking, but the event is not until next month. I have downloaded Martin m-pc, which did allow me to get a feel for the console I will be using. I have also studied up the martin Mac 550.

I have used Consoles capable of running moving heads before, just not with moving heads. I have used them with LED pars before.

They did say that I could program everything the day before dress rehearsal. It is a local dance studio that is renting them, and there will be one tech day, one dress rehearsal day, and then two show days.

I have an update on being asked to operate moving heads. I know what equipment I will be dealing with. I will be working a Martin M2go lighting console controlling 2 Martin Mac 550s. Please help me as much as you can. Everything else is conventional lighting instruments, which I mastered a long...

I am wondering how to operate moving heads. I have been told by the owner of a local dance studio that they would like to use 2 moving heads that the venue has for their annual recital this year. I have mastered conventional lighting, know how LED units work, but don't know how to operate moving...

My high school originally had one of these consoles. It was the worst thing ever! During my high school's 2013 musical, on the FINAL night of dress rehearsal, the house lights suddenly went out. The console had shut itself off, and ALL the programmed lighting cues were erased! It was the WORST...

Here is the finalized plot. It has shin busters added with 300 watt par38s. The dance company has them already so we are just putting them to use.

I don't need daylight. I just need the colors. I also want to use a ground row, i can only use what's there. Heavy light renting is not in the budget. What is your opinion on my color choices? We are buying all the gel for the r40 borderlights, with 12 cells and 4 circuits each. There are 4 of...

I was wondering if altman focusing cyc lights for the top and the altman r40 borderlights for the bottom will work. I am designing lighiting for a Nutcracker production and that is what the venue has. There are 3 cyc colors from the top and 4 cyc colors fro the bottom. The ground row has 120...

I moved the center two ellipsoidals to the pipe ends. They are now R35 and R60 instead of white.

We do have falling snow during the snow scene. shin busters are not an option, too many little kids that can burn themselves. There are two ellipsoidals near the center of the 1st electric. Haven't found a use for them yet. Maybe those can moved to the pipe ends for a 2nd color.

I updated the plot to get rid of the R26. I instead put in R91.

Also, the two Ellipsoidals on the 1st electric will have snowflake gobos projected on the cyc. The pattern number is Rosco 77772
