If the are at 90 degrees to the stage there will be problems as you describe. . If you are focussing them as crossing pairs of profile /fresnel soft fill, the problem will be much less as there is an effectively longer throw and you get the bonus of facial modelling. Is there any capacity to under fly the cove with an advance bar at a better height and width?<br><br><div dir="ltr">Dorian Kelly<div>Illuminati Arts</div><div><br><div><br></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On 26 May 2020, at 1:54 pm, Stephen Litterst via Stagecraft <stagecraft@theatrical.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div class=""><div><br class=""></div></div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On May 25, 2020, at 1:17 PM, Riter, Andrew via Stagecraft <<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" class="">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>> wrote:</div><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><br class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">The Front light for the 60’ apron is from 1 front of house cove (25’ wide) at a very high angle.

Getting a good, flat field will do you a world of good. </div><div><br class=""></div><div>You don’t say what the throw distance is for your FOH cove. In a large concert hall, I feel like 6 - 10 degrees isn’t enough for a 60’ apron. In my medium-sized theater I have that many washing the front of my 36’ stage. Can you try an experiment with adding in more 10 degrees to see if you can even out some of your blips? </div><div><br class=""></div><div>Steve L</div><div><br class=""></div><div><div>Stephen Litterst</div><div>ETCP - Certified Entertainment Electrician</div><div><a href="mailto:slitterst@gmail.com" class="">slitterst@gmail.com</a></div></div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><span>____________________________________________________________</span><br><span>For list information see <http://stagecraft.theprices.net/></span><br><span>Stagecraft mailing list</span><br><span>Stagecraft@theatrical.net</span><br><span>http://theatrical.net/mailman/listinfo/stagecraft_theatrical.net</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
