4 Play By Chauvet Demo in the Day

0:06 Now Chauvet have got their annual competition

Alright guys, now Chauvet have got their annual competition. What I want you to do is give a bit of a demo of your Chauvet Lite. Now I'm going to do one, it's sort of going to be a demo tutorial explaining what you can, can't do. Maybe give you some sort of pointers so I'm not going to be entering the competition. Now my sort of demo is going to be on this guy here, it's known as the 4Play. Hmm, I like a little bit of 4Play. Now we've got that joke over with, let's get down to business. Now you'll notice here I've got this framework here. I don't know if anyone's familiar with bird cages but it just sounds like a parrot cage. Right, I'm going to put this guy together, I'll be right with you, hold on. To have, even though it could be secured firmly, it needs to have a safety chain, safety harness or something.

Right, I'm just going to bring that back a tiny bit and if I move the camera out, excuse all the wobbling, there you go. Right, if I leave it like that then I can do stuff now. Right, what I'm basically looking at here is almost, it's like a mobile DJ light show but it's near enough the equivalent of let's say a nightclub because, I don't know, if you imagine a nightclub, you've got your framework above the dancers and quite often you'll have all lights all over the place and they'll be pointing in different directions. Well that's what you can do with this. It's not just one light going that way, it's lights going all over the place. Now let's say hypothetically this.

I've got, come here, right, because it's difficult, it's a small screen you see so I can't see what I'm doing. Most of the time I can't really see what I'm doing. Anyway, let's imagine now instead of the lighting rig in front of me or behind me, Always fantastic, it looks fantastic. Now normal way of thinking is you have the end light facing down there and the end light facing down there. What you could do, you can have that light going across that way and that light going across. So if you've got a bit of smoke in the room, not only have you got lighting on you but they're going over each other like that that does look fantastic.

So for example now these two facing down at DJ and you've got those two at the crowd. Alternatively what you could do, again think about it, Don't bother having that light on you or the crowd. Have it against the back wall and move it around a little bit. So, right, this is my sort of demo kind of thing on the foreplay. Get me a breath, excuse me. Now I don't know if you've noticed but I'm actually working outside of the box here because I've done a demo, I've done an explanation, bit of a tutorial, but guess what? I haven't even turned it on. Do you know why? I don't think I need to. Enough said. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
