Martin DC3 Oil Lava Projector Hire Melbourne

Martin DC3 Liquid Oil Lava Effect Projector Rental for Events, Stage Productions & Retro Themes
Create stunning flowing liquid projections with the Martin DC3 Oil Projector, available for hire from AVFX in Melbourne. One of the most iconic projection effects ever produced, the DC3 creates continuously changing psychedelic patterns using rotating liquid-filled oil cassettes illuminated by a powerful projection lamp.
Unlike conventional lighting effects that create beams or spots, the Martin DC3 projects large-scale animated patterns onto walls, ceilings, drapes, stages, dance floors, screens, and backdrops. The moving oils and coloured liquids inside the effect cassette slowly flow and interact, producing an endless display of swirling colours and organic shapes.
The result is a mesmerising visual experience that became popular in discos, theatres, concerts, planetariums, exhibitions, themed events, and television productions throughout the 1970s, 1980s and beyond.

The Original Liquid Light Show
Before digital projection existed, effects such as the Martin DC3 were used to create spectacular moving backgrounds and visual displays. The oil wheels contain coloured liquids suspended between glass layers which slowly move as the wheel rotates.
As the liquids mix and separate, constantly changing patterns are projected onto surfaces, creating hypnotic visual displays that never repeat.
A Favourite for Retro Productions
The DC3 became famous in discos, concerts and theatrical productions because it could transform entire walls and ceilings into living works of art. The flowing colours and organic movement create an atmosphere that modern digital effects often struggle to replicate.
The projector can be used on its own or combined with gobos, mirrors, prism effects and other projection accessories for even more creative visual displays.
