Hey,
I'm designing a show at a high school, but a high production value school compared to the average school, and I've been given the dreaded task of lighting a show (The Mikado) where the cast of about 15 girls are in all white "geisha style" make-up, and all white kimono's with black patterns on them, and then occasional "pops" of color to add a "harajuku" flare to it, for example the rendering I was shown was basically a white kimono with black checkers trimming the bottom 6 inches and a hot pink tutu at the waist. I've already been turned down about diping the costumes to make them less stark, and was told it would be too much dying. The scenery is a realistic design of earth tones and wood. Does anyone have any suggestions of tricks to light these girls without losing all dimensions of their faces, and making them look sickly?
Thanks!
Sarah
