Guest Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 A pulsar masterpiece light console would be a better choice A masterpiece is never a better choice. More importantly, not in this situation. The OP is fine with what he has, without the need to hire in a desk he has never used before and has little time to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXbydesign Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 'Do your best here, and in future show if for no other reason than pride in your work.' I totally agree Andrew but I cant belive how many replies this is getting on a subject which has been raised time and time again!!! Anyway, after all this, it will be great if the OP posts some pictures up of the event. Then we can all see and enjoy the great fruits of his - and ours, indirectly - labour!! Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamtastic3 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 A pulsar masterpiece light console would be a better choice A masterpiece is never a better choice. I'd favor a Masterpiece over a FatFrog or the like anyday... in a non theatre type situ of course :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben K Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Ressurecting an old topic here, but could the OP give us some indication/ pictures of the show and how it went??? What kit was used in the end?? I have a school talent show coming up soon and looking for some inspiration for some lighting states/chases that work well including movers and generics if poss.??Hopefully someone that has done this before could give any hints / tips towards what works well and looks good.Im not asking for 'design my show' type help, just some good ideas or something that might of worked well for someone before. For info, im not entirely running the show however will be assisting the LD throught the whole process, and we're currently talking about states etc. Many thanks, any input appreciated :) Cheers,B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little blunt I admit, but that's likely the best you'll get from an online forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi have you considered some LED PAR cans they take up 3 channels so you could use them on a normal DMX lighting desk and get some good colour mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set up a general wash on the faders, and then for each act added in different faders (for colour). I then selected an effect for the scanners to follow, and colour ( and if needed gobo effect or strobe). Hope this gives you an idea.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbs the Techie Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Sorry I've taken so long to realise this topic was alive again! I will dig out some pictures when I have some time - I'm very busy at the mo! However we used a few different nice colour washes, a couple of breakup gobos using some S4's, a parcan fan at the back, and we hired (for beer money practically!) 4 Abstract scanner Vsomethingorothers, which looked nice doing some ballyhoo in more exciting numbers, and slowly swinging in slower ones (the usual moving fixture practise really). Controlled from (the school's) JesterML...which is a NIGHTMARE for busking (I know it's not meant for it). And lootttssss of haze. Hope this helps, Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
