Quick question here.
I am helping design a play that opens in a couple weeks, and was wondering what the difference is between red and blue run light backstage. For this show, the audience is seated onstage, the SR and SL wings are masked with walls for the set. The audience will however be able to see into the wings when doors are opened on either side occasionally. I was wondering which color is better to use in the wings. I know we usually use red, but I've read the blue is harder to see when run at low levels.
For run lights, we use a couple of scoops or sky cycs on the ends of our electrics, pointed almost straight down in the wings.
Thanks for your help.
