Anyone know how this is done?
Stephen_Ramsey:
Was watching SNL, and thought these lights/effects were really cool (both the lights surrounding the rapper, and the backline light effects).

(effects start around 2:45, video should start there)
Can someone explain to me how this was done or what light/equipment was used? Thanks in advance!

Yes, but first you must change your user name to your actual first and last name per the forum rules you agreed to when registering. No one is able to help you until you follow the rules.

I was wondering the same thing, I found this explanation at another forum (Controlbooth).
It isn't something you can see live, but has to do with the lasers and tv frame rate.

Thank you very much for the link! Very fascinating...not being a lighting expert, I was absolutely mind blown...glad to see I wasn't the only one, and that the logical side of my brain wasn't betraying me by not thinking that was possible IRL without some sort of hologram stuff that I don't understand!! Thanks again!

I can see this is like one of those digital waterfall type fountains, but...
I don't get how the pulse of laser, travelling at the speed of light (982,080,000 feet per second), could be short enough for a camera frame to capture it as a segment. It would have to be 1 billionth of a second long.
