Anton Delfino Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hey Guys - I've been watching some of Mark Romanek's videos thought about the video he did for Weezer's El Scorcho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzxwGazkLWU I'm thinking of putting something together that falls along the same lines, except a lo-fi (ie. low-budget) version with less practicals. Could you get away w/ just a flicker box, strobe light, and some manual on-offing of lamps plugged into lunchboxes? Would this erratic action stress the breakers at all? Any info/insight you could provide would be very much appreciated. Thanks! -anton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Anton, A small DJ type lighting board will have a number of programmed routines, chase,ramp up, ramp down, random flash that you can asign to various channels, unfortunatly only one routine can run at a time. Like: http://www.mbtlighting.com/product-details...FTOKEN=47962994 or take a look in the DJ section of a well stocked music store.

Anton Delfino Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hey JD - Thanks for the reply. Hmm, I wonder why I never thought of that since I used to run a mobile DJ service for years! We were small time so we never had the extra cash to get real fancy with our lighting. I do remember having some cool lights that you could patch into a board (and were programmable) but never got the actual unit itself. I'll definitely take a look. Hope you're well. - anton Anton, A small DJ type lighting board will have a number of programmed routines, chase,ramp up, ramp down, random flash that you can asign to various channels, unfortunatly only one routine can run at a time.

JD Hartman Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Let me know what you pick up. I've looked at the small 4 channel dimmer/controllers before, but found they were kind of limited in watts per channel. I guess you could always get a small light board and separate dimmer packs, maybe the capability to handle intelligent lighting as well. Works been a little slow lately.

Anton Delfino Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 As with many no-low budget music videos, it fell through. Oh well, next time. Let me know what you pick up.
