Hi everyone,
So I am a HS lighting designer, and let me say up front I really have very little knowledge or experience. What I do know comes from google and from my predecessor lighting person (who was trained by an adult). Our company has fallen upon hard times, so I'm pretty much on my own to figure out this whole designing thing. However, I think its really nifty and want to do my best, I'm not just messing around - I really want to do the best I can. Keeping that in mind, please don't be afraid to challenge any idea I have that sounds disastrous.
So we are doing Twelfth Night, but our director has a vision (sigh). Basically with the idea he has I need 6 distinctly lit areas, but with diffuse edges. I don't have enough ellipsoidals to create these washes (also I think that would look strange because of so many angles), and the only other option I have available are 6" Strand fresnelites. However, the edges of the beams (please excuse any immature or innappropriate lingo ) are really sharp - from what I've learned from google this is how the lights are designed. Because of the confused and weird vibe of the comedy in this show, I would really like the undefined edges to match. Is there any way to do this?
