Some of the most effective lighting effects can be created with a cyc and some cyc lighting instruments. All you need is a cyc, some stage lighting fixtures, and some stage lighting gel filters.
The Bowlus Center in Iola, Kansas has shared this elegantly simple lighting effect to recreate the Aurora Borealis for a production. While nothing can quite compare to the real thing, This is a very smart use of the Altman Spectra Cyc and some holiday lights to give the audience a sense of place. If you’ve got a neat cyc effect you’d like to share, please send it to us or link to us on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
PS. LED Cyc lights were all the rage at LDI, save money with energy efficient fixtures, longer lamp life, and open the door to some incredible effects in your productions. Not sure which fixture would work best in your space, just contact us here at StageSpot for all your cyc needs.
