damobarrowafc Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 we have 2 perspex screens on our stage (one for drummer and one for brass section)unfortunately the lighting bounces off the screens and comes back at the audienceI've looked at moving the lights etc and this isn't a viable option is there away to affectively 'dim' the glare down (without turning the intensity of the light down) if anybody has any ideas would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jivemaster Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 For professional photographic purposes it was possible to buy "Dulling spray" which diffused specular highlight reflections. it also smelled better than the improvised method -airbrushed milk (which was OK for an hour or so then it smelled like a cheese factory) Google offers suggestions by or from Krylon, Flints, Panavision and Calumet. When you have minimised reflections by angling the perspex the you can diffuse the remaining reflections by spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I was just about to suggest photographer's dulling spray too. It's what it was designed for - reducing reflective glare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Johnstone Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Not sure how you can angle them too much if they are a proper drum screen. not enough that would make a difference surely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 How long does the dulling spray last, generally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpants Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Some type of acrylic sheet (such as acrylite) are available with a durable anti-reflective coating which might be a more suitable permanent solution if you ever need to change the screens.
