American DJ Jelly Domes – effect event lighting

These lighting effects are very effective and bright creating a big Ariel effect. They can be used in many ways and for lots of different applications including handing them from a roof like a mirror ball or pointing them directly at an audience, pointing them up in the air for beam effects or to point them to a wall or area to show the many dots that move around. Because of each domes wide beam angle you can get very good coverage out of even just one light, over 150 degree’s which in my case means that I can create a full wall of beams behind the performer. Many other elements are also available to control such as the speed of the movement and the colour of the light which means that I can choose a colour that could show my related theme or song style, because the song that I have choose is a slow tempo song I have made the domes just go around at a very low speed. In the above picture it is clearly visible to see the multiple beams in the air, a smoke machine that I have placed at the back of the room has created this. The smoke that I have used creates a very light haze effect, which means that the smoke is not thick in the air but there is enough to create the beam effect. The colour that I have choose to use a lighting test is white as it’s the most powerful colour that can be created and it gives me an ides of the brightness and the effect to the song. The reason that I did not try another colour is because if I know white works and that the light itself fits the song then other colours that I am thinking of using will fit. This effect will be used in two locations in my video. The main one will be in the picture above in the garden shed where I will have two of these domes running, the other will be near the pool in the garden and that will be with one dome. I believe that these lights fit the theme really well. I am using them to show a bridge between the loneliness of the lead actor and performer and the movement of life and the continuation of life. Also I feel it links directly with the lyrics as it talks about cloud rolling in and I think this shows that.
