For example: a Distortion Wheel fitted into the Front Gate of the Projector, closest to the focusing lens, in front of a main effect like a pictorial Effect Wheel creates a gently undulating effect similar to waving, flickering or being underwater. Perfect Wheels for this are the 6 inch Deep or Fire or Flags Wheels. The 6 inch Mild Distortion Wheel also works very well to distort single image gobos, making them appear as if projected underwater.
