Hi everybody, this is my first post, so I'm sorry if I miss any formality.
I work for a high school, and one of the parts of this job is lighting design for their shows. We have 4 Altman R40s that are 8 feet long, each with 16 lights divided among four circuits that we use to light our cyc from the bottom. From the top we have ETC Multipars, which each have three seperate lights in them, each on their own circuit..
In the past we have used these (as well as a few source 4 pars or parnels) to get a pretty good looking wash onto our scrim. In the past, we have gelled mostly only one color, which effectively covers our cyc evenly.
After that long preface, I have two questions:
1. Do you think it would be possible to get some good RGB color mixing by gelling all the instruments 1/3 primary ged, 1/3 primary green and 1/3 primary blue? It's a wide cyc, and this collection of fixtures does not span the space easily.
2. The theater has DMX built into the system, and I have for a while wanted to experiment with either the Chauvet Colorstrip, or the American DJ Mega Pixel Colorbar. Have any of you tried them, and how much manual control is there with dimming each of the red, green, and blue sections separately?
Thank you all so much!
