Hi Everyone,
I hope this is going into the right forum. We're doing Beauty and the Beast as our spring musical and, as far as I have heard, we are using some form of Prosthetics. When I heard this, one thing popped into my mind--would there be bad shadows on the actor's face? So before expressing my concern to the director, i thought I would come here and ask. Would there be shadows on the actor's face (if we were just doing a front wash, for example), and if so, how would we have to light him to eliminate this? (I was thinking always lighting him with a followspot...but that would look weird cause he'd be the only one always lit) Thanks in advance!
