So in this example the intensity recognizes that it’s currently off, so should tell the rest of the Cue to MARK. EOS has a feature that I’ve enabled for you called “Auto Mark”, meaning the system will automatically find these moments and mark these lights for you (some styles of lighting such as rock concerts or musicals might want to see the lights move, so sometimes you want to turn that feature off). This stands for “Mark” meaning EOS recognizes that the light is currently off, but will be on in the next cue, so it needs to get into place now. If you step slowly through the cues and stop at Cue 2 you’ll actually notice something new that Channels 1 and 4 have a Green value of “Q3” or sometimes will have listed “MK”. If you go back to Cue 1, then step through all three cues you’ll see that Channels 1 and 6 transition nicely whereas Channels 3 and 4 move while on.
Position the light to fall at the center of the shapesĪnd once you’re finished you should have something like this marvelous looking ugly hot mess of a cue.Zoom the light to a value of about 30 (or larger than what you had before).Rotate the index of the gobo to align perpendicular with the stage.Position the light to fall in front of the shapes and not actually hit them at all.Select the Water gobo from the Gobo 1 section.Good, let’s make one more look using all 4 lights. Adjust the zoom and position so that the bottom of the rose lands a the edge of the shapes.Īt the end, it should look something like this ….Select the rose gobo from the Gobo 2 category.Pick a pink color so that it pops off the blue (i.e.Let’s make a second look, completely different, using the opposite set of lights.

You can feel free to do that too, if you would like.Īlright. If you have a look somewhat close to what I have, go ahead and record it to Cue 1.īy the way, moving lights are more fun in the dark and with haze, so I adjusted my Augment3d lighting settings. If you’ve made all those adjustments, it should look a little like this … Adjust the pan and tilt so that the center of the swirl lands right in front of the shapes.Adjust the edge to make the gobo sharp, which for me is actually just 0.Set the gobo to rotate at a speed of -15.
In your worksheet, make sure all your lights are off and start with a blank slate. Let’s stop trying to explain this with words and just show it to you on the light board. If you were an actor on stage, I would say that you need at least a beat with no lines in order to go back stage for a costume change and become a new character.Īhh. You are the one creating a cue list, so you are the one to make sure that there is at least one cue with the light off between the two cues in which they are on. The biggest technique to help ensure we don’t see unwanted shifts in the light is you. It’s a distraction and we end up thinking about the lights rather than what’s being lit. Seeing this type of movement, seeing the “mechanics of the theatre” as we might say, ruins the illusion and takes us out of the moment. However, that takes an amount of preparation and care to ensure that we don’t accidentally see the light move from one special location to another. A moving light, for example, can often replace the need to hang several single purpose special lights. One of the most advantageous things about an intelligent fixture is that it can often serve several purposes.
