Every week I get phone calls asking "Where can I get fake blood"? or "where can I get a car for "Grease"? or "how does a scrim work"?, well if all us technical crew could ask these questions on this forum it would soon become a gold-mine of information for everybody concerned. So how do you make fake blood?

a flood has an angle

a flood has an angle of120 degrees while a fresnel is 60 and a parcan 30-40, now think of the light as a cone, while the stage floor may be lit at the wide end of the cone, if the light is close then you can walk between the narrow parts of the cone coming from the light, this is a snag with trying to light a show on your own as you can get a beautifully even wash all over the stage but a person walking across the stage is in and out of light.I can't do pictures on computers but if someone can better explain what I mean please help.
