Abstract
A lighting template usable in connection with standard theatrical lights is provided. The lighting template contains a LCD adapted to receive and reproduce video output thereon. The lighting template provides a body adapted to mount to a theatrical light so that the LCD is disposed within the focal plane thereof. Thereby a lighting designer may selectively control the video output so as to manipulate the projected light through the LCD, affordably creating animated projections from the theatrical light.
