The director for our next main production, Fiddler on the Roof. Has the idea to project
the fiddler onto the set. As we have limited space and budget the easiest way, as far I as I can see is to use a profile and a gobo.

DHA as far I I can tell from there web site don't do a 'fiddler' as a stock gobo.

So has anyone used this effect before? or has anyone got a suitable gobo we can blag, buy or borrow?

The size is not an important issue, for belive it or not we haven't got a profile on the rig.
so we would have to hire one in anyway.

I know DHA will make a custom gobo, however I belive thay cost ?30 plus, and that is quite a lot for an effect of very short duration.

We have absolutely the perfick thing for you, Harv.

We had a fiddler logo designed for when we did it and still have the gobo - B size. But as it is such a nice gobo Ian doesn't want to let it go forever - we would like it back after the show. It is a representation of a fiddler.

We used the logo for programme artwork as well as the gobo: if you want to do the same, a talented artist can probably nick the logo from the gobo.

Anyway, Ian's up at our theatre tomorrow night so will try to remember to bring it back. When do you need it? PM me your address and I'll send it over as soon as we've got it.

That sounds great Maureen.

We dont actually require it till Feb next year.

It would be nice to see it first

Perhaps you could Photocopy it yhen fax the result.

I will PM may address and work fax number tomorrow,

Thanks

Harvey - forgot to pick it up on Tuesday - doh! But given you've got AGES, I won't worry! Will do some kind of copy as soon as I can once I've got it and whizz it over.

Thanks. In the midst of office move fax line has gotten lost. I will PM you once sorted.

No probs. Am currently dying with a cold ( ) so not leaving house anyway. Just sent Ian out for provisions...!
