I want to create a figure 8 bally ho effect with my movers. How would I go about doing this? I tried modifying something from the effect pallet but nothing was close. I then tried creating a cuelist making the figure 8 and ran it as a chase. Which that was close but it was a little stiff. Any suggestions. This is something I would like to be able to save as an effect.
Are you working with moving head or moving mirror fixtures?
If you are working with moving heads, you will notice that their movement pattern is very different when aimed straight up or down than when aimed out. With the fixtures aimed straight, the Circle effect should give you a figure 8. With the fixtures tilted out, try applying the Circle effect and then double the rate of tilt.
[quote=teerickson] The Circle effect should give you a figure 8. I've always had trouble with this. Using the built in circle effect how should I adjust the settings to get just a circle and not a figure 8? Or does it have more to do with the starting postion of the light.
