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

The only thing I care to
Tue, 20 Jan 2009, 08:39 amThe only thing I care to reply to: perhaps I was being defensive on behalf of the people who take the time to reply, with intelligent, informative responses. Again, if you had a question, or would have liked a simpler explanation provided, there are more polite ways of doing so.
As for the rest... I'm no longer interested.
Please, those techie regulars, keep posting informative stuff. It's nice to read something intellectual here, rather than the usual bitchfest.
