Hi All,
I'm looking for opinions on how you get the most out of your moving washbeams - eg. Mac Aura, Chauvet R2 wash, etc.
I tend to get in 4 to 6 units for my 10x10m stage (5m grid). 2 go on my very upstage LX, 2 go on a midstage LX and, if I have 6, the other 2 are normally located at a side lighting position. I then just usually use them as coloured back/side light - but I just felt this was a bit of a waste of their potential. So I came here to see what other people do with them.
e.g. What positions do you enjoy using them? Bunched together or spread apart? Are they good enough for front wash/pastol colours?
Just to give some context, we are a college with the school hall being used for shows. It's a large venue with a decent stage but no fly's. We produce 2 musicals and 1 large dance show, each year. We own a rig of generics that I use for the shows but then hire in a mixture of profiles, beams and washbeams to fill out the Lx design. We don't own any moving lights, so getting time to experiment and try out new ideas are limited.
Thanks
