Silent moving lights feedback?
Sun, 19 Apr 2009, 09:29 pmI've been using moving lights for a while now with mixed results, the common complaint is that the fan and movement noise are too distracting, but there are now virtually silent units available and so I have bought some.Is there a demand for these in the drama/dance world?
Ive had only a few
Tue, 21 Apr 2009, 10:41 amIve had only a few instances when there has been a complaint regarding the fan noise coming from moving heads, and it has usually been the sound designer who complains!
With all the other noises going on in a theatre - scrollers, air con vents, outside traffic, stage manager whispers and the performers, I've found the fans just blend in with everything to a point where they are almost a 'part of the silence'. I imagine TV studios would have a bigger issue with this. Som fixtures have a function to regulate the fan speed and make them quieter, which is nice.
Are these Vari*lites by any chance? 5 - 60 degrees? Wow! I thought the VL3500s were the only ones that did that!
