Sometimes it can be difficult for customers who are looking for ways to light their events to imagine how gobos can make a big difference in terms of spectacle and effect. If you've never used gobos before, you may wonder what they can add to a scene or stage that can't be accomplished with typical spots and other lighting equipment.
Recently, Destination Imagination (DI), a non-profit organization that provides children with opportunities to learn about science, technology, engineering and mathematics, held an event at the University of Tennessee that featured high profile performers and guests such as American Idol finalist Rachel Hale. According to Live Design, a trade news source, the event drew a crowd of thousands, and Bandit Lites, a live event lighting contractor in Tennessee and California, designed and implemented the lighting setup.
Their designs included the usual trusses of spotlights that you see at gatherings like this, and the results were stellar. But one component of their lighting that added a particularly interesting dynamic were their custom gobos.
"Two… spots were used to project custom-made gobos 135' clear across the arena, and Bandit tech Shawn Beaulieu added color in them, resulting in the crowd of 16,000 being able to see the intricate designs from that throw distance," writes the source.
