Hi- I'm new to the lighting arena -- I'm a sound guy. I'm organizing a concert for high school bands that is May 17 and we want to rent some lighting. The stage at my church where it is has 32 par38 track fixtures and 5 larger floods that we have gels for. we have a DMX controller that plugs into the back of the house. We're doing a DVD, and we want the lighting to look good. We're gonna get some fog/haze to "see" the light, but I was wondering if you had ideas for more effects lighting. I was looking at putting 2 autospots (or something comparable) on the floor on each side of the drum. Then I could set them master/slave and have them be mirrored so they would be symmetrical to the center of the stage. Got any ideas for intelligent lighting for a concert?
