Random Flicker effect
Posted: 02 Aug 2022, 17:00
I know this question has been asked time and time again and yet I am still unable to either find a satisfactory answer or work out a good tried and tested method.
The conundrum: Quickly and easily create a truly random dimmer effect on a fixture or group of fixtures where you can easily/quickly adjust the High and lower dimmer values as well as the speed etc.
Methods tried: Simple dimmer shape (Saw) with 'Random' direction. Result: Not truly random and how to adjust high and low levels quickly?
Pixel mapper: Some success but again no easy way of adjusting values
KFS: Works to some extent and you can create Macros to replace dimmer level palettes within the KFS but you cannot save these shapes
Does anyone have any good ideas or work around for this, its something I am called for a fair bit in TV/Film and its getting somewhat boring creating them on the fly when under pressure, whilst trying to explain why you don't use MA.
Thanks in advance
