Help with Shapes on Titan One for Halloween Gig.

Postby DJH » 13 Oct 2016, 16:59

Hi All :) ,

Please excuse my learning curve on this one.. I'm almost there, but I think I need a bit of help.
I've got 4 moving heads (Showtec Indigo 5500's) each with different Halloween gobo's in.
My Challenge is I need to have these gobo's moving around a large room on a very particular 'Flight' path so to speak (the room has several long white sections of wall around which will be great to make the ghost's & witch gobos move around on).
Which method would be best to do this on a Titan One ?

I see two ways of doing this :-
PAN/Tilt Saw
Key Frame Shapes

Which would be best ?
Can anyone give me a spot of advice please ?
I appreciate it may take an explanation.. but I'm learning fast :)

Many thanks in advance,

H.

It's quite hard to say without having the fixture in location but I would suggest crossfading chase(s) are probably the easiest for this. Shapes are probably just overcomplicating it, particularly if each fixture needs different pan/tilt values to align properly.

Thanks Nic,

Yes, that seems to work well.

I know the venue, so I'll program it up when I've setup the lights, I just needed to be sure I knew how to do it within 15 minutes ! :wink:

Many Thanks,

H.
