Hi, I'm new to this and know virtually ZILCH so I'm hoping to pick some brains! I want to project a strong silhouette about 20 metres or so and I'm wondering what sort of light/projector I would need.. and any other relevant info. I've been searching the internet and haven't found any help yet. Thanks.

Hi SusanW, To help you we would need more information. Does the light have to move (ie. does it have to follow the action onstage, like a followspot, or does it stay still), what are your venue requirements (can you rig the light from above), what your budget is and so on. If you really aren't sure, ring a lighting hire company in your area - www.alia.com.au has a list - and ask them to help you. Most hire companies are happy to help you decide what you need.
