Candle Effect

[JB97]

How would I create an effect of the lights flickering like a candle on the Jester ML 24,using just dimmer channels?

 

We have a set of par cans, and frensel spots.

 

Thanks

Generally you'd create a basic 4 or 5 step chase for the channels where you want the 'candlelight' to be. The channel levels are random but never fully off (so the light never goes out like a candle) and set the direction Random with crossfade steps and a quick (ish) step time.

 

Try not to go mad and have the whole rig doing it though - it needs to be just where you'd expect to see the candlelight. Of course - depending on what you're doing, you could use real candles but be aware of your fire proofing
