Guide to animation effects for MAC 2000 Performance

Martin Professional has produced ‘A Guide to Animation Effects’ for the MAC 2000 Performance, designed to illustrate the effects possible from the profile spot’s gobo animation system. Released earlier in the year, the 1200W MAC 2000 Performance’s animation feature has proved instrumental in the fixtures’ popularity among lighting designers. The system offers lighting designers new projection possibilities through the use of animation discs - fire and flames, sky and clouds, waves and water, snow and flurries, and more. The gobo animation wheel system was recently enhanced with the launch of a set of six new animation wheel designs.

The guide explains the theory behind gobo animation and offers tips on how to achieve a wide variety of effects. It explains each animation disk in detail and how it is best used. Further in the guide are some specific examples of effects which can be achieved and the gobos necessary to recreate them. The guide is currently available on the Martin website as a download from the service section www.martin.dk/service and on the website’s MAC 2000 Performance page. It will also be incorporated into each MAC 2000 Performance user manual.
