New laser show

[dnar]

Having now totally rearranged my home environments, I now have an excellent room to rig lasers and program.

I have decided to program a show to Black Sabbath as intended and progress is being made. It's taking around 4 hours per minute just to rough out the basics with white cues and given the track I chose (N.I.B.) is 6 minutes it will be a while before it's ready. Stage 2 is to color the show, stage 3 fine tune and refine.

I decided to write myself a brief first, as good training for working for a client and also to personally set some parameters as a challenge.

• Show to look "old school" and pre-computer software
• Not overly busy - less is more
• Style to be similar to a rock light show
• Absolutely NO fancy abstracts
• Minimal colour pallete
• Minimal cue count
• 100% custom cues - no Pangolin or 3rd party cues
• The show must be tight and excite the veiwer
• Setup: floor mounted, projected up at 45 degrees to suit behind a band
• Zone 1: centre, Zone 2: L & R angled in 45 degrees

Completed programming, I just need to spend a few hours coloring next.

Cool. I hope to have this show completed in a few days, I'll post it up with a video also. I really need to find a good video camera, my phone does an awe full job and I can't set manual focus...

I love Animusic. Have you seen/heard the second one? Even better, in my opinion.

Tim Walsh did an awesome beam show that was sync'd to the music and the video from the "Starship Grove" track on the second disc... He set it up on a private sound stage and recorded the whole show. Here's what it looked like:



Serious skills there...

If you do a show to "Harmonic Voltage", I'd love to see it. Personally, I've been thinking about doing something to "Pipe Dream II" from the second disc. Gotta get motivated I guess.

Do you think this is good enough to enter into the Pangolin QS competition?
