Background Lighting Idea

[DJ Cam]

I was thinking and smoke started coming out of my ears, but then the 2 wires in my head stopped shorting and made a connection.

I have 2 Chauvet SX Gobo's I use to do mongrams and such. I got to thinking why not do some background lighting on the walls behind my setup when I have the room.

I was thinking about stars.

Anyone have any ideas of stock gobo's that would look cool as a background?

We carry the Rosco line. They offer about a bazillion different stock gobos. LOL.

Thanks, Ben I'm aware there is 1000's of them out there. I'm more looking for help picking something to use.

Match it to the decor or theme of the event.

If they're using a lot of lush topiary or it's a forest or jungle theme, there are a ton of plant/leaf/branch gobos. If it's city/business/metro theme, use a city scape. Snowflakes in the winter. For general parties, they are a lot of cool 'break up' patterns.

This is something I've thought about doing as well, but with moving heads. Have them doing a static background image behind me during dinner and other down times, then doing their thing during dancing.

Cam, here's what my main lighting competitor in town uses on practically all of his gigs. Keep in mind, this is done with a source four projector but maybe it'll give you some ideas.

Thank You, That's pimp.

I wish I had venues of that size in my area, that bridal table is the size of most ballrooms I get to work with and they try and fit 175 people in them.

Ben - I'm certain you can get the Chauvet Rain64's, correct? Also, I'm intrigued by the monogram type systems that some are using - what would you suggest? Is the monogram a gobo or computer controlled or other?

I use gobo's I really don't care for how a projector looks and don't think it could be good for a projector to be on the same image for 5 to 6 hours.
