Club effect

Hologram Club

Hologram Club is a club lighting look in FRCTL, the browser VJ studio. Bright holographic chrome with fine iridescent bands.

Runs live on video, images, a camera or generated art. Stack it with any other effect, and route LFOs, envelopes or any of ten audio bands to its controls so it moves with the music.

What Hologram Club does

Turns the picture to pale chrome, then rules fine rainbow lines across it at a slight skew while the rainbow hue sweeps diagonally over the whole frame. The lines bend a little with the source's brightness. Bands sets how fine the ruling is, Holo how strongly the rainbow shows, and Direction which way the lines run.

Using Hologram Club

Where it works
Foil-look cover art, merch mockups and chrome logo stills, since the output reads as printed holographic foil. It also calms busy footage into one pale palette.
With the music
Nothing moves unless you move it. An LFO on Bands makes the ruling shimmer like foil tilting in the light, and B6 (upper mids) on Holo raises the rainbow with vocals and leads.
Starting point
Blend three-quarters, Bands centre, Holo centre, Direction Up, then lower Bands until the ruling shows at your export size.
