Hello, I'm a venue tech that has the opportunity to do my second lighting design in The theatre space I work at.
The set designer and director have a concept for a set basically cut in half stage centre by a scrim with the goal of having everything upstage of the scrim disappear when unused.
We have a black sharks tooth scrim in stock which will be used.
My initial though was to use some of our three cel cyc lights for skimming the cyc from the top on the downstage side for the opaque effect but I've realized that the throw is too big for the job and if there is any kind of barn doors for our cyc lights I don't have them.
I'm wondering what my next best option might be.
The options would be fresnels (with barn doors to control spill), or source 4s with 50 degree lens tubes (biggest I have).
I also have some s4 pars in stock.
Aesthetically my goal is to have a warm color for indoors and a blue for doing a sky.
I also plan on skimming the cyc with clouds etc for texture.
Any thoughts?
I've played with cyc's quite a bit and although I've read a bunch on using a scrim that way I haven't had the opportunity to experiment yet.
Thanks!
