There's three gigabytes of video and this is a tiny computer so 'shaking' may be stretching a point a bit. The video is not the final but it is an Accomplished Thing. In other words, I borked various things but there is no Bork Guilt as I wanted the trial to see what happen. Now I know and from that I know I need another one.
What I do know for sure is that switching light patches when I play is not terribly difficult. The hardest part is seeing which patch as hitting the same one twice means Blackout All. I did that not once but twice in the recording. I wanted this proof of concept more than any other thing out of this attempt and I'm already pleased with how it works. It could be better but that's fine, that it works at all is what I wanted to know.
Final Ruling: unsuitable for upload
It serves well as a proof of concept but part of that proof is showing what doesn't work. It definitely does work that the light patches can be changed live ... but ... I did a second soft bit of guitar playing before wrapping it and I looked and looked but damned if I could find a guitar guy in all that mess. I know roughly where I was standing but I could not see a guitar guy, a ton of lasers for sure but no guitar guy.
This is just tactical stuff as foreground fill light is what it needs. I use one now but it's not bright enough. I boosted it once before I started but it wasn't enough. It's possible I need a second one up-front as I saw zero Galaxy Guitar sparkles. Maybe you care about seeing the guitar guy but I want to see the Galaxy Guitar sparkling. I know she does it but she's never shown it to you the best she can do it.
There won't be a wait for another fill light as I'll boost the existing one to maximum before thinking I need two. Maybe another try tonight.
