Well my actual budget is 10,000 usd. This is my third theatre/space I’m fitting but this one is quite difficult with the very limited budget. (The other locations I’ve had 60k for main stage and 25k for gymnasium that they use for small shows) I’ve done work in a few other theatres/concert halls and do AVL for a jazz band
This is the layout I’m doing https://www.theatrecrafts.com/pages/home/topics/lighting/lighting-focussing-a-general-wash/ (Diagram in the middle. Idk how to attach images on iPad)
In the front, I’ll have Varytec fresnels (I’ve used them before, high output, high CRI, pretty good color mixing) Back will have some movers, and the Colorsource PARs we already have
I’m trying to figure out how cheap I can get the front profiles for. After the fresnels, followspot, trusses and some movers I have 1000USD left.
I wanted the framing options so I decided for profiles. What zoom LEDS do you suggest? I don’t necessarily need hard edges.
There won’t be any other budget for this location (Apart for 500 a year for maintenance stuff). Anything will honestly be an upgrade for this location because the entire stage was previously lit with only 4 CS Pars. (Stage is 15 meters long so not that small). I’ve discussed with appropriate staff that I hold no accountability in case something goes wrong
Electricity cost doesn’t matter. And the profiles will be somewhat temporary (2 years or so) before I can either retrofit with LED 4WRD or change to something else.
