Aledin was shown on the Robert Juliat stand in the White Light zone using GOBOLAND GoboSlides made from slide film by GOBOLAND’s Wyatt Enever.
The gate of the Aledin, with its 85W LED light source, remains so cool that GOBOLAND GoboSlides can be projected for extended periods of time without damage.
Whilst plastic gobos can be printed onto acetate using a standard home printer, the quality of image resulting can be of a low standard, with pixellated appearance and a lack of true black in the image.
“By using slide film instead, the image quality is heightened to truly photographic proportions,” explains Enever. “Blacks are truly black and opaque and the image quality is sharp with no pixellation and true colour rendition.
“The colours and the substrate are resistant to heat degradation to such an extent that we have not yet managed to ascertain their full life, despite extensive testing. All we can say at this stage is that they are extremely long-lasting in Aledin’s cool gate! The cost savings for the end user are tremendous, without having to compromise on image quality.”
