Hey everyone!
I'm right in the middle of planning our high school's fall production of the Skin of Our Teeth, and I'm looking for some advise for an effect I'm doing. During the second act our director is picturing a sort of massive political convention or party in Atlantic City. We're renting haze, so one of the main effects I'm doing is to have searchlight beams scanning the skies. We just came into possession of two Elipscans (we had one before), so my plan is to mount them to 19 degree S4's as shin-busters on the trees just off stage right and left and have them shine the light up. What I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me with, is how I can make the beams tighter. Would a gobo like the Rosco 77726 work? Or just make it too dim?
The effect looks alright with just the source fours, but I figured you guys might have some experience with this kind of effect.
Thanks in advance!
