Animation Discs Effects Suggestions
30011 - Tangential BreakupTo my left30011 Tangential Breakup
provides a directional movement in the direction of rotation; and is most suitable for flames, flowing water and other effects where a single direction of movement is required.
30012 - Radial Breakup30012 Radial BreakupTo my right
provides a regular movement suitable for flickering flames, water ripple, reflected water, and shimmer for heat haze or mirage effects.
30013 - Spiral BreakupTo my left30013 Spiral Breakup
provides bi-directional movement like wind blown rain, snow or wind-fanned flames. It is worth experimenting with the angle of the gobo to achieve all possibilities with this disc.
30014 - Linear Breakup30014 Linear BreakupTo my right
provides rhythmic movement and can be used to simulate a breeze through the branches of a tree or rhythmic undulations from ocean waves.
30015 - Triangle BreakupTo my left30015 Triangle Breakup
provides a more pronounced rhythmic effect than the Linear Breakup and is intended for use with a split color as a psychedelic effect or a rough sea effect.
30016 - Cloud Breakup30016 Cloud BreakupTo my right
is designed for a softer directional movement particularly at slow speeds. It can provide interesting cloud effects with cloud gobos or a soft flowing stream effect.
30017 - Elliptical BreakupTo my left30017 Elliptical Breakup
is designed to provide bi-directional two plane movement, similar to the Spiral Breakup, but with the added feature that the direction of movement varies as the disc revolves. This is specifically for snow or similar slow moving effects where flurries of movement would be expected.
30018 - Dot Breakup30018 Dot BreakupTo my right
is designed to maintain a clearer projection of the gobo image with movement and is suggested for effects such as falling leaves.
30019 - Flicker WheelTo my left30019 Flicker Wheel
is for providing a flicker effect in conjunction with a high motor speed. This can be used for passing train effects or just to break up the beam of a spotlight for simple strobe effects.
30020 - Coarse Radial Breakup30020 Coarse Radial BreakupTo my right
is particularly effective animating light from a nonfocusing source while providing a minimal loss in intensity.
30021 - Coarse Tangential BreakupTo my left30021 Coarse Tangential Breakup
is most suitable for animation effects (i.e., flames) in ellipsoidal spotlights without gobos or in nonfocusing lights such as fresnels.

This is a sampling of suggested uses and is not meant to be a comprehensive list. Specific applications are up to the imagination of the designer.
