Animation guide 23
Dot breakup
The Dot Breakup disc (P/N 62400214) gives you the opportunity to cause
motion while maintaining a more focused projection of the gobo image. It is
suggested for effects such as falling leaves or rising bubbles.
This animation wheel is supplied as standard with the MAC 2000
Performance II.
Flicker wheel
The Flicker Wheel (P/N 62400222) provides a different kind of effect and
can be used at high speed for motion effects, such as passing trains. It can
also be effectively used for just breaking up the beam of a fixture and for an
organic strobe effect.
Coarse radial breakup
The Coarse Radial Breakup disc (P/N 62400224) is particularly effective for
animating light from a non-focused source whilst providing a minimal loss in
intensity due to the high 'white to black' ratio of the radial pattern. It is also
effective for similar uses to the Radial Breakup disc.
Coarse tangential breakup
The Coarse Tangential Breakup disc (P/N 62400226) can be used on its
own in an unfocused form to give the image of flames. It can also be
combined with gobos to give a drifting image to the projection.
Effects ideas
The ideas outlined here are intended as suggestions only. The precise look of any effect will depend on
many factors including the focus setting of your MAC 2000 Performance II, the projection surface onto which
the image is directed and any color mixing effects that you choose.
