Pipo Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 Ok, i've got a show coming up in september, a hardrock-concert, never done it before so i need some ideas i've got 54 PAR64, 8 Mac250, 4 Mac600, 4 x 3000W Strobe, 16 x PAR64 floorspot, 4 x 2000W blinder, 6 x 500W blinder, This is the set-up: stage 8 x 10M Quote Den Pipo Pro Light Design
ice Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 Nice setup, though you're not showing too many different settings Which visualiser are you using for this? Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt?
Pipo Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Posted July 12, 2004 i'm using wysiwyg, i'm not going to create a lot of renders because the client saw the pics and he was convinced i'm just not sure what coulors to use. just white and 106 or 164,...,128,124??? Any ideas??? Oh, and i'm looking for a 48channel desk, price about 1000€ Quote Den Pipo Pro Light Design
ice Posted July 12, 2004 Report Posted July 12, 2004 For a hardrock show I'd use some deeper colours, and use the fixtures for effect. So yeah, 106 would do nice, 124, maybe some 022, 119, and u must definitely use something like 343/180 as a "Deep Purple" wash With the correct colours of your fixtures (macs have these colours) the effect of that is excellent. Use 8 of your floorspots on the back of the stage, left and right of the drumstage, stick 115 in them and have a blast! I'd raise the macs on the back if I were u. The macs at the drumstage have approx the same height, so maybe the effect is a little bit better when u raise those macs on the back, just rig 'em in the truss (render it and check the effect) Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt?
Pipo Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Posted July 12, 2004 Thanks ice, will do, oh the bands who are performing: Gunz Roses, Bon Jovi tribute band and KISStory, one of those are from holland maybe you know them don't remember which one and one uses pyrotechnics, think it's KISS, have to find some showmaterial from these bands, saw Bon Jovi in Oostende last year but it wasn't very special, lot's of video and LED, but there is no budget for that Quote Den Pipo Pro Light Design
ice Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Nope never heard of them. When u render some more images in different colours, could you post those here? I'm still in serious doubt about buying a WYSIWYG package. Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt?
Pipo Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Posted July 13, 2004 I can tell that wysiwyg is pretty good, but very expensive! If you need to see more renders check out my site www.prolightdesign.be. The program is not easy to use, but once you understand it's a lovely toy! Quote Den Pipo Pro Light Design
ice Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Yeah I know.. not to mention I'll have to buy it myself since I'm a lonely freelancer Maybe some of my employers will lend / share me some euro's, but still... I really doubt if it's gonna be worth it, on the other hand; awesome, timesaving tool! Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt?
Pipo Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Posted July 14, 2004 If it's just to save time, don't buy it! You can't save 2000€ in time as a freelancer, but you can if you are a production-company! Quote Den Pipo Pro Light Design
GLX Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Burn a few copys and post it to whoever will pay Quote
Yves Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 does anybody know the site of the program, then I can show it to my boss he was altready impressed of the pictures in this topic Quote
Gabzqc Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Here you can download a Demo version of Wysisyg. have a try. gabz[/url] Quote
JTorsson Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 Don´t forget to take a look at the visualization program Capture, I´ll think it´s cheaper. http://www.capturesweden.com/ They are the official partner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2005. Quote / Jörgen Torsson
RMT Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 Is any WYSIWYG available in freeware? or do i have to buy a WYSIWYG software? Quote
ice Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 You can download a demo version from Cast Lighting. A full operational version is gonna cost you, WYG isn't cheap software! Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt?
Frog Genius Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 i'm using wysiwyg, i'm not going to create a lot of renders because the client saw the pics and he was convinced i'm just not sure what coulors to use. just white and 106 or 164,...,128,124??? Any ideas??? Oh, and i'm looking for a 48channel desk, price about 1000€ where did you download "wysiwyg"pm me Quote
ice Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 You can't download it, you should buy it... current pricetag is around 3000 euros. Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt?
bemi Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 There is a downloadable (test-)version. But i can't remember what features you won't be able to use with it. Took me hours to install it and didn't work proper on my old notebook ... Quote
Frog Genius Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 £2014 is expensive for some software Quote
Yves Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 I've tested Capture with HogPC today and it's also a really great program. It costs around 960$ is there any chance that I can connect phantom frog to it in the future like the off-line hog and avolites? Quote
