RaceMedic Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hello Everyone ....I am already planning for 2011 and working on some sequencing and I would like to ask a question.What type of unique effects are you doing with your leaping arches, other than leaping.I am just trying to see what else can be done with them.Thank-you for sharing your ideas.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 How many segments are your arches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceMedic Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 6I am just trying to see if there are any unique / different things people are doing with the arches for a new effect.Thanks,Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickByrd Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 While it is still leaping...I like the effect of turning the whole arch on at 50% and then using a 100% segment that leaps through as well as an OFF segment that leaps through.I just started playing with the arch like a fan as well.I am no expert (only have 2 arches) but have been playing around with it a bit this week... good timing I guess.

PaulXmas Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 This is the first year I will be using arches.4 arches 7 channels each.I have done a chase from one end to the other and back.2 arches start at oppisit ends and chase into each other.I am still looking for some ideas as well.

Chick Kazienko Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I too am looking for suggestions will only have 16 channels but trying to figure out what to do with them is the question I will have 2 white 15', 2 white 10', and 2 multi color 10' But debating on using the multi color as light poles. Just a nebie trying to figure it all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I always liked how Chuck Downs did his arches:http://www.downsfamilychristmas.com/videos%202010.htmlI pretty much copied them when I sequenced "Takin Care Of Christmas"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Kazienko Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I always liked how Chuck Downs did his arches:http://www.downsfamilychristmas.com/videos%202010.htmlI would have to agree. Awesome arches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Mitchell Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I was going to suggest Chucks videos also.I have some different effects in my arches also. I have the same, 4 arches, 7 channels. You can check my vids herehttp://www.youtube.com/user/imsirius2?feature=mhsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in red)I basically just have the entire 8 channel arch on at 50%. Then I lay in a chase sequence at 100% and another at 0%. you could copy in the 100% on with paste from foreground checked. Once I had the first sequence I just copy and pasted over and over til I was done.I'll draw back and get a longer sequence shot next.

NickByrd Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Here is a shot with a longer time line. These arches are usually white, you can barely see the second arch below the red one. I went red to make it easier to see. Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Do you by chance have a video posted anywhere that we might be able to see this effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcdonald307 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Here's an example of an all-on-then-fade with a chase (leap) to end it. I use this at about 25 sec into Jingo Jango (and is repeated thru out): The "checkerboard" pattern just before is great for bell sounds also...

NickByrd Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I don't have a video of the above sequence. I DO have some really good arch variety in my Wizards In Winter video.http://vimeo.com/18625992I am not completely satisfied with the arches in one particular part but everything else rocks. I pieced the sequence together from some of mine and some shared sequences so I will now pay it forward. Also, you can look at the video and the sequence and get a real world idea of what it looks like.
