Making Waves:
Elations Waterfall Creates
Rippling Water Effects for Nightclubs and Stage Shows.
LOS ANGELES-- Elation Professionals is "making waves" in the world of
special effects by incorprorating one of natures essential element effects
into their new DMX fixture, The Waterfall. The Waterfall is a sound-active
fixture that borrows natures soothing, rippling effects and visually casts
colorful droplets of light that resemble water.
Ideal for large clubs and stage presentations, the Waterfall goes a step
beyond Mother Nature and includes six tranquil colors, plus white, that lend an
extra sparkle to the water effects as the droplets slowly cascade down the walls.
"Special effects no longer means just flashing bright lights," said John Lopez,
Production Manager of Elation Professionals. "Today, nightclubs and
stage presentations are relying on visual effects to create all types of
moods, including a relaxed, sophisticated environment. The Waterfall fits
into this trend toward more specialized and laid-back effects."
Nothing exerts a relaxing influence better than gazing at flowing water, and
the Waterfall was designed to create this spectacular mood effect. Perfect
to help enhance a calming afterwork atmosphere or to quiet a crowd before
a stage presentation, the Waterfalls soothing effects can help ease tension
as patrons sit back and unwind while enjoying visual images of rippling water.
The Waterfall also has six vivid colors that will add extra sparkle to the
cascading effects. Clubs can dress up a plain white wall with these brilliant
colors and the moving effect of water flowing. From a sea blue to a deep
amethyst, the Waterfalls colors blend slowly and smoothly and resemble
a retro, "melting effect".
Theaters can use the Waterfall as a background effect to depict a natural
effect of flowing water for stage or play presentations. The fixture is able
to cover a wide area, spreading colorful droplets across large surfaces. The
Waterfall is also ideal to use as a backdrop effect for displays and galleries.
Nightclubs will find the Waterfall to be a welcome addition to their special
effects, and can use the soothing effects as a mood enhancer when playing
a slow set. The Waterfall can also be used on "theme nights" to create a
true nature or jungle-like atmosphere.
With its DMX-512 protocol, the Waterfall can be coordinated with other
special effects to produce unique and exciting light shows. Clubs and
theaters can combine the Waterfall with other DMX compatible lights to
add extra pizzazz to the cascading water effect. For example, a strobing
effect, added in with the rippling water, can visually create a tropical
rainforest thunderstorm.
"Elation Professionals is moving in the direction of creating more
intelligent special effect fixtures that offer clubs and stage applications
endless possibilities," said Lopez. "Whether used alone as a tranquil
mood enhancer, or linked up with other exciting special effects, the Waterfall
can add a special touch to any light show."
The Waterfall has a ZB-SC150 Lamp with a 6000 hr. life. It weighs 24 lbs.
and the dimensions are 10" x 12" x 15" Suggested retail price of the
Waterfall is $799.95.
