The stage pictures shown here were created with the help of the Infinity Animation Device and the Vortex Gobo Rotator. Both Rosco devices equip modern spotlights to make gobos rotate or move gently.

Picture the cloud-like shapes behind the actor gently revolving. It gives the stage picture an added dimension of surrealism... which was exactly what the director wanted for this memory sequence. The RP screen behind the louver window offers an ideal surface on which the Infinity Animation Device can be used.
That's your basic standard steel Rosco gobo on the back wall of this set. Stage left and stage right are illuminated with fixtures equipped with Image Glass (33610) and ColorWave glass gobos (33304). But notice the top light on the gurney. The spotlight on the gurney is equipped with an Infinity Animation Device. When the Flicker Wheel (30019) is slowly rotated, an extraordinary effect is created.
This simple stage setting, a stage right divider and an upstage louver wall, come alive with the sensitive lighting of the designer. The three circles on the stage floors were generated by Vortex Gobo Rotators mounted on the first electric. Each set of spotlights had different combinations of Rosco steel and glass gobos in the rotators. Spotlights, equipped with Infinity Animation Devices, were used upstage to make the scene come alive. In this case, the Infinity Devices had Rosco Colorizer glass gobos in the gate.
Same set pieces as shown on the left, but slightly re-arranged -- and lit very differently. Notice particularly the louver screen which has been rotated so that more of the surface faces the audience. The spotlight illuminating the screen is equipped with an Infinity, so the shadows you see actually move gently across the louver surface.
The stage pictures shown here were created by lighting or set designers using Rosco's Image Pro projector. Many of the images shown here were generated by the designers or technicians. Others are stock images, available overnight. Click on an image to see a larger preview.
Lighting designer Jeff Stover created this stage picture for an original play, "Kartasi". The projected background was generated from abstract digital files. The large image in the center is a photo the designer manipulated in Photoshop to resemble a negative and then printed on Image Pro film. Five ETC Source Four units were used, four for the red background and one for the center photograph.
This fanciful setting is all projected. Seven front of house lighting fixtures were used by the set designer, Bob Mitchell. All the windows and planets are stock I-Pro images. Mitchell created the red door projection from a JPEG he took from the Web.
This remarkable set, from a production of "Headlines" consists of seven Image Pro projections. The designer, Greg Marchese, scanned newspaper pages and had them transferred to Image Pro film. He noted that even with scanning and then printing on I-Pro film, the projected words were clear and readable from everywhere in the audience.
A Twin White screen, which accepts both rear and front projection with equal clarity, helped Tim Plumber create this remarkable scene. He was able to manipulate the stage look by varying the degree of image overlap from scene to scene. Image Pro projectors were used on the spotlights on both sides of the screen. The rowboat is real. Low lying fog was generated from a Rosco Coldflow machine, using Stage & Studio fog fluid.
