Ever wonder just how hard it is to build a log fire that flickers like the real thing? One that really looks good?? Wonder what sort of console and how many dimmer channels, or what kind of program patch you need to make it look just right???

The answer is, it’s easy, and needs only one dimmer channel. Plus a couple of hours work in the shed. The technique described doesn’t appear to be published in any of the standard stage lighting works, but has been used for many years, the “secret” having been handed from lighting tech to lighting tech.
