Moving rigging for fixtures?
Michael Dench:
Hello all!
Apologies straight off the bat, for any newbie mistakes. :)
I’m starting to create some new works, with each one intending to feature an original song, original choreography and original lighting design.
One thing I’d like to look into, is small automated lifts/platforms that a moving head fixture could sit on top of. As a visual representation, think of a kinetic ball sculpture with the ball controlled by DMX, except in this case, the fixtures are being moved up and down by a platform below them. I’d really like to experiment with the concept of the source of each beam changing its vertical position.
Does that make any sense? Is there any forum thread that already exists, that I should be looking at? Maybe there is a pre-existing product in a different industry, that could be reappropriated?
Thank you for any advice or direction you can offer. :)

Sorry, that should read: *the balls controlled by DMX winches*

Thank you Scott! Appreciate the recommendation. :)
Have you come across anything like a platform device I described? I noticed on the TAIT site that most of the products they supply are winch-based systems. I’d love to find something that can be set up from the floor, so it’s more portable for different temporary installations and travelling performances.
