Follow spots - type, size, suppliers etc
Sun, 18 Jan 2009, 04:57 amHi all
I note the predominant users of this site are "sand gropers"; “theatre people” seems to be the medium in Victoria. I do note some Vics also by the way…
Moi, I now reside in Qld for my sins....but an ex (Vic) Mexican…………WhitehorseMusicalTheatre…..
Guys n' Dolls re those familiar will know I am their “Gaffer” Production Designer/ Manager extraordinaire.
We are sourcing 2x Follow Spots supply. The auditorium we use has a longish throw - some 100 feet - and I want something with style, grunt, colours would be nice.
I saw these iSolution 1200 (1200w) spots in Federation Square Melbourne a few years ago and was impressed. Didn't see them lit up but their technical’s were ab fab. This control panel at the back provides everything.
Anyone with the knowledge of a decent "dome" as they are called in some parts would be appreciated. Obviously budget is the underlying factor........
Good chatting with some of you

Na,
this was not directed at you and it is really wonderful that YOU understand what he is talking about, but the fact remains that it is complicated!
If you want this website to be accessible for all people of all levels of wisdom then I think there needs to be some more feedback on some of the informative posts that are put on this website, and I have noticed that Don regularly posts with some very complex theories and descriptions.
So here's your feedback.
Quite frankly, it is very annoying to see and hear people in the technical theatre/production industry constantly high-horsing themselves, being the devil's advocate and delivering assaults of verbal diahorrea on topics that are somewhat irrelevant to the original point all because of their "that's what I know - aren't I important - look at me - everyone else is a numpty" attitude!
If you want to do that then go on the ALIA or Lightnetwork website and you'll feel right at home.
Not that it matters, but I am infact a registered user of this website, I have just forgotten my password.
