Austen Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Greetings Everyone!So, I currently have 1 Intimidator 1.0 (with the iDMX-1000). I was thinking about purchasing another Intimidator. Then I thought about a snow machine, but I don't think the snow would come out far enough for the audience to get a good look at it. I'm not exactly sure what I should do, another Intimidator, or some other cool effect.Do you have any advice on something cool I could add to my Christmas show that would really have a "wow" factor, yet is still reasonable in price?Thank you!Austen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjdurrant Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Ditch the snow machine and get some strippers... JKWhat about a snowflake projector? I know not the same, but the affect is this cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austen Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Haha strippers would be interesting.. but not kid friendly. Yea here where I live snow only comes once every 12 years.I had a projector in the past, but it broke. I would kinda like something different. I've been thinking about lights to change the wall colors. That might be cool. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjdurrant Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I am using the rainbow floods this year as a wall wash.. four of them. I wouldn't call it a wow factor.. but I am happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austen Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 OK, so I'm gonna go with the strobes.If I put, say 5 strobes on one channel, and I turn that channel on, will the strobes all be synchronized? Or will they all flash at random times, giving that "shimmering effect"?Should I buy a couple strobes with 1 flash per second, and a few more with 3-4 flashes per second?

jjdurrant Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 It's totally random with my CLS strobes which flash 3-4 times a second. Even if there was a pattern I don't leave them on long enough to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
