Well thank you AMP for stating the obvious (no offense hehe). Umm... Support, do you know any info about this unit.

Ask and you shall recieve my friend. Man now I got 2 people on my case!!! I dunno just call support or something (hehe)

-AMP

Well it's August, and the web site says it should be out in Aug. Call support, does anyone esse have anything else to add?


And to answer your questions......Yes,Yes,Yes, and Yes.....But now answer for me what the heck is a theater cyc?

You dontknow what a cyc is???!!!!!!
Its just a big white cloth thats used at the back upstage side of the stage. Its for a background wash type effect. Can also be used for shadows etc....ill c if i can find a pic for ya...

-AMP

Ahh here we go
cyc, aka "cyclorama". The very back of the stage with the orangy wash is the cyc...as I said its just a big white cloth flown from the grid and then u use cyc strips for washes and stuff. Especially with red, blue and green gels on your cyc strips...your color mixing pallette is very broad. Cycs are also used as good "punch" effects. It adds some pretty neat effects on stage. Like blue wash for sky and then add some cloud gobos...or green wash for a forest and add some tree/bush gobos...you ge the idea. Also if the cyc is on and there not light in front of it...the actors become shadowed. And if u r in back of the cyc when its on you get shadows as well and a neat effect. Just adding more to the ambience of your stage look. Hope this helped.

I get it now....thanxxx

Oh light dude to answer your cyc question. Depending on how far away from the cyc u put the light it prob would do a pretty nice job if you had several of them of course. They are only 150watt and keep in mind that most cyc strips (and stage lights) themselves are usually 1000watts. Although if you put the lights behind the cyc that would be a neat effect. One wont be enough tho...id say prob 4 or so depending on the size of your stage/cyc.

-AMP

Thanks AMP! Yes, it is only 150 watts but I was thinking the optics would be pretty good considering it is a really new fixture. I guess once it is available I should just go check it out in person (at AMP's favorite store, Warehouse Sound and Lighs).

hey, i know that this is sorta a change of subject but what would be the best way to get a silhouette of a band...i can do just about anything i need want to the stage to get this effect...but the intro for their show would be incredible with them in silhouette...i was just wondering what the best way to position the lights would be...thanks
DJ Borris

Well to answer your question borris...the best way to get a shadow effect is to light the band only from behind them...usully with lights on the floor shooting upward. Or you could make ur own kinda cyc with a sheet if u really wanted to. Light from the side usually works too as long as its behind the people on stage. -AMP


PS...yeah warehouse sound and lights rocks! Although I havnt been there in a while. Theres also a place on El Cajon Blvd called "Apex Music." The owner is Steve and hes known me for years. Tell him I sent ya and he can help ya out (my first name's Andrew). huh the truth comes out!

-AMP

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder what the Fire Burst, and the H2O would look like being run at the same time, and focused on the very same spot. Could be interesting.

Well if Steve at "wharehouse" can't help you, just tell him that Andrew told you to call Support......lol.


<pondering>And Dogg, I would think it would boil the water.....lol

Or Put out the Fire,,,,,,,,Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I'm definately getting one of these baby's along with the H2O I've been wanting to get for the last little while now.
