F i r e e f f e c t s
The range of animation wheels available for the MAC 2000 Performance II is very versatile in producing fire and
flame effects. Good results may be obtained from many of the designs together with any standard flame or fire gobo
designs.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
B
LOWING FLAMES
Spiral breakup disc
As with any animation effect, the rotation speed and image focus will have a great effect on the final projection, so
these parameters should be experimented with. With all fire and flame effects, it is possible to add an amount of
magenta (approximately 70%) and yellow (approximately 90%) from the color mixing system, which will diffract to
give orange, yellow and red color shifts as the image animates.
Alternative gobos:
Any of the fire or flame gobos from the standard range
could be used in substitution for the above suggestions.
