We got a new theatre at the college where I work, and I like most things about it, BUT the stage has very little depth which causes all kinds of problems when trying to light the cyc. If we have up any sort of set upstage the distance between the set and the cyc is usually 2-4 feet. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to evenly light a 16' cyc with so little throw distance? Here's an example of our problem; our current production's set is a row of 10' columns with a piece across the top of them. It sits 3 feet from the cyc. Between the 8 columns the cyc is pretty much seen the whole width of the stage, but we can't hang or set any of our instruments far enough away to light it well with out getting shadows from the columns. From the reading I've done most cyc lights need to be 6-8 feet from the cyc in order to attain optimum coverage. Is there something that works in 2-4 feet?
thanks in advance
