Been a long time since I've had to properly light a scrim and we have just added one to our inventory. I'm having some problems getting the classic scrim illusion of front lighting the scrim for maximum opacity and then back lighting for transparency to work right.
I'm getting pretty good opacity when I down light on the scrim with 1K Fresnels, but am also getting okay results side lighting it to pick up the weave of the scrim better.
Tech is breathing down my throat, so if I hav to add trees to SL & SR to get a side light wash I need to do it in the next 24 hours.
WHich angle has worked best for you, side light or down light on a scrim to make it NOT transparent?
