While you can find some movers for that price why bother other than for an example say of older moving mirror verses moving light example for class purpuses only?
Agreed, better things you can spend invest or save your money on and a
base question of why does your program need movers? Have those in the progam already mastered the concepts of "A' Method of Lighting the
Stage" and does other ways of lighting the
stage simply too limit the program and it's tech people they have in skill
level?
Scrollers say would be useful but sorry, can't see purpose for just learing lighting a need for movers when those that would use them have not learned the basics yet. Instead if they know the difference, have them design and or invest on that part of the program.
Took lighting in High School - didn't sufficiently understand gauges of
wire or proper wiring, much less
Fresnel verses
Leko. Concepts of design were also never presented - they were already plotted we more just located specials and ran
wire to what was already placed in the
plot.
I was shorted in lighting obviously but it took years of even in a minor in lighting design to get ligting concepts. Screw the moving lights for the inventory for what ever reason one cannot achieve with a few more dimmers and fixtures, what concepts in basics of lighting and design of it would most help the students? This even if they become an actor and never again get a lighting class, what in them doing lighting would be more useful, some used' moving light or learning stuff or more gear to work with that's cheaper? What in some small after college theater they might some day work in would be more useful while in even high school them to see more of and master?
At very least college for movers in my opinion - and for college only
base stuff.
