We spent the day yesterday at the hyper cool loft space of Niles Creative Group in downtown Manhattan to try out a few new spotlesseffects. Alex is polishing off a new effect called "the wave" which will soon be approved and released as a stock effect in the Spotlesslight. The wave is an interesting breed of effect for us because it is the first in a planned series that will make much more use of our active background layer. This time, instead of shining light only onto a performer, we are shining light only around the performer and affecting the projection through the movements of the performer. The cool thing about the new Lightwarper is that it separates the background, foreground, and multiple passive object layers. This means that if you are interested only in generating effects around your performers you can do so. Or you can combine them with a totally independent set of effects cued up on the performer. It's really unbelievably dynamic now and puts the spotlesslight into a whole new category of interactive projection and interactive entertainment devices.
This past week we were giving a demo to a band that is looking at taking the Spotlesslight out on tour. We gave them a glimpse at the soon-to-be-released Version 2.0 software and their minds were blown to say the least.
This weekend was a great step forward for the spotlesslight. We were invited to provide special effects lighting for the bands at the Rock The Sound Concert series this past weekend at the Hammerstein ballroom in New York City. Introducing a new lighting fixture to the market is the sum of a series of tests and we understand that it is very important for our public to know how and where the Spotlesslight has been used.
