Film/FX is a compact, stainless steel motion effect unit designed for compatibility with common ellipsoidal fixtures. It provides a continuous loop motion pattern that produces subtle or dramatic moving textures when placed in the gate of fixtures such as ETC Source Four, Altman Shakespeare, Strand SL, and other similarly sized instruments. The unit is intended for rental use and arrives ready to integrate into your existing lighting rig.

Key Features

• Continuous pattern loop motion, for smooth, repeatable movement rather than alternating rotations.
• Stainless steel housing for durability in touring and rental environments.
• Three control choices to suit different cueing and control preferences.
• Dimmer-compatible speed control, allowing use of most standard dimmers to vary motion speed and timing.
• Direct mains operation at full speed via the supplied attached power supply.

Use Cases

• Adding continuous motion textures to theatrical washes, backgrounds, and specials.
• Creating atmospheric effects for concerts, corporate events, and film sets.
• Replacing or supplementing other rotor-style effects where a single-direction loop is desired.

Included with your rental

The unit is supplied with an attached power supply and power connection, and can be plugged into any dimmer for speed control. No additional motor control hardware is required unless you prefer to use an external control method in place of dimming. Suitable for use with ETC Source Four, Altman Shakespeare, Strand SL and similar sized fixtures.
