Hi all --
First, let me thank you for this great forum! I was directed to it by someone I know and it really rocks!
I composed and played live original music for a recent production of Humble Boy and, during the long intervals where I had nothing to do, I started looking up at the stage lights. I gradually became fascinated by the amazing amount of artistic expression that could be achieved with light--it really is an amazing medium.
A friend suggested I get some PAR56s and a few gels to "play with". So that's what I did. I got the following:
- 4 X PAR56s (300w)
- 2 X 9-foot stands
- a 4-channel dimmer
A bunch of Rosco gels:
- 02 Bastard Amber
- 33 No Color Pink
- 60 No Color Blue
- 12 Straw
- 25 Orange Red
- 36 Medium Pink
- 46 Magenta
- 54 Special Lavender
- 61 Mist Blue
- 67 Light Sky Blue
- 68 Perry Sky Blue
- 85 Deep Blue
So, with all this, can you suggest some interesting setups (positioning and gel selections) to try out? I'd like to see how I could re-create, say,
- a sunset scene?
- a bright daylight scene?
- a nice sky effect on a cyclorama?
- a dusk scene?
...anything else that might be interesting or surprising?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
