Lighting Needed?

[pareshj 0]

Hi all,

 

I'm after lighting that I can place on the floor and creates a nice wide ray affect. I have seen it being used on Charlotte churches show when they have 2 massive lights on either side of the studio and these are pointed up but when the audience looks at it, they are just rays that come out?

 

If you take a look at this video then you can see what I mean at 42/43 seconds into the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGmqr2XPNJY

 

also here is the charlotte church opening and you can see it in the 20s frame.

I have a large venue in a marquee coming up and I would like to stick this light in one corner but don;t know what it is?

 

anyone advise?

thx

Haven't viewed the links, probably MAC500's though

They're definately a moving head of sorts, however a lot of these lights are not moving heads but specific fixed heads with wide angle lenses. Depending on the size of marquee you may get away with a MSD250 lamped version such as the the MAC250(and later variants) So long as its got a 22deg lense and prism option plus a pinhole type gobo you'll be fine. I've got scans that'll do the same thing so you don't neccessarily need a head if you just want it in a fixed position.

 

With enough 'atmosphere' (smoke) even something like a Datamoon or Destroyer will do the job (the destroyers have a very small pinhole which is nice) Of course you'll need a DMX controller to run any of these as you want them.
